The FDA has the authority to require sponsors to perform a post-approval study (or studies) at the time of approval of a premarket approval (PMA), humanitarian device exemption (HDE), or product development protocol (PDP) application. Post-approval studies can provide patients, health care professionals, the device industry, the FDA and other stakeholders information on the continued safety and effectiveness (or continued probable benefit, in the case of an HDE) of approved medical devices. This database allows you to search Post-Approval Study information by applicant or device information.

Detailed Study Protocol Parameters
Study Objectives The Minerva Single-Arm Study is a single-arm, non-randomized, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Minerva Endometrial Ablation System. The Post Approval Study will collect extended effectiveness and safety data at 2-3 years post treatment.
Study Population Pre-menopausal women with menorrhagia (excessive uterine bleeding) due to benign causes for whom childbearing is complete or who no longer wish to retain fertility.
Sample Size Up to 110 women
Key Study Endpoints Any treatments or hysterectomy for dysfunctional uterine bleeding
Compliance with contraception
Any pregnancies
Menstrual status (questions assess bleeding, i.e., amenorrhea, spotting hypomenorrhea, eumenorrhea or menorrhagia)
Any gynecological adverse events
Completion of Quality of Life Questionnaire
Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up Three years
One year (data were provided premarket), two year, and three year
Interim or Final Data Summary
Actual Number of Patients Enrolled 110 subjects
Actual Number of Sites Enrolled 7 study sites
Patient Follow-up Rate 12 month follow-up: 104/110 subjects (94.5%)
24 month follow-up: 72/101 subjects (71.3%)
36 month follow-up: 93/101 subjects (92.1%)
Final Safety Findings There were a total of 199 adverse events, including one serious adverse event (SAE) and 198 non-serious adverse events, reported at the 2-4 weeks, 3 month, 6 month, and 12 month follow-up. There was one report of pregnancy at the 12 month follow-up. There was one serious adverse event (SAE) and 11 non-serious gynecological adverse events reported at the 2- and 3-year follow-up. The one SAE was due to pelvic pain in one subject which was not determined to be device or procedure-related. There were no unanticipated device-related adverse events in the study through the 3-year follow-up
Final Effect Findings Primary effectiveness endpoint: The overall success rate based on PBLAC results was 91.8% (101/110) at 12 months.
Other effectiveness endpoints: At 12 months 80.8% of subjects responded that they observed a decrease in pre-menstrual symptoms, 54.8% observed a decrease in dysmenorrhea, 97.6% reported satisfied or very satisfied with the procedure, and 98.8% of subjects responded that they would recommend the procedure based on the Menstrual Impact Questionnaire (MIQ). At 24 months and 36 months the overall success rate (reported by blood loss assessment of eumenorrhea or less) was 92.1% and 93.1%, respectively. At 24 months and 36 months 97.2% and 98.9% of subjects reported being satisfied or very satisfied with the procedure, respectively.
Recommendations for Labeling Changes Yes, labeling change recommended to update the device labeling with the final study results.
