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 This study was initiated prior to device approval and is a single-arm, multi-center clinical study. It was conducted at 25 sites and enrolled 188 subjects. One hundred and twenty-six (126) subjects were implanted in this study. The 12-month outcomes from the study were used to support PMA approval. The 24-months follow-up data from this study must be submitted to assess the continued safety and effectiveness of the Medtronic Altaviva System.
Study Population Male and Female patients with urge urinary incontinence (UUI)
Sample Size 188 subjects were enrolled, and 126 subjects were implanted
Key Study Endpoints


Effectiveness
• Percentage of subjects who experience an improvement in UUI episodes (therapy responders) of at least 50% or more (primary)
• Percentage of subjects who experience an improvement in OAB-q HRQL of at least 10 points.
• Change from baseline in quality of life as measured and assessed by the total OAB-q HRQL (health related quality of life) score
• Change from baseline in mean number of UUI episodes
• Subgroup analysis of the UUI responder rate for the patient population 65 and older.

Safety
• Comprehensive summary of all adverse events (AEs) for the duration of study participation, including all device- or procedure-related AEs and device-, procedure-related serious adverse events.
• Revision rates
• Explantation rates

Device Use
¿ Device parameters including but not limited to voltage, pulse width, frequency, and stimulation duration/day
Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up 24-months follow-up of the pivotal study
Interim or Final Data Summary
Actual Number of Patients Enrolled 188
Actual Number of Sites Enrolled 29
Patient Follow-up Rate 55.3% (104/188) through 24 months
Final Safety Findings Of the 188 subjects enrolled, a total of 126 subjects were implanted during this study. 718 total adverse events (AEs) were reported in 188 subjects from enrollment through study completion (24 months). Following implantation, there were 226 AEs in 71% (90/126) of subjects through 6 months, 439 AEs in 85% (107/126) of subjects through 12 months, and 685 AEs in 91% (115/126) of implanted subjects through 24 months. Device and Procedure-related AEs were reported in 17% (21/126) of subjects at 6 months, 20% (25/126) at 12 months, and 24% (30/126) through study end, with the highest incidence occurring in the first 3 months post-implant. The most common device and procedure-related AEs were implant site infection (4%, 5/126) and device-related pain (4%, 5/126). Two device or procedure related serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported throughout the entire study period (Clostridium difficile colitis, implant wound infection resulting in device explant). All device and procedure-related AEs were classified as mild (grade 1, 9% (11/126) of subjects) or moderate (grade 2, 18% (23/126) of subjects). More severe events (grades 3-5) occurred in 38% (48/126) of subjects but were not device related. Through 24 months, 3 subjects required system modifications due to device and procedure-related AEs, with 18 total explanations performed primarily at the patient’s request.
Final Effect Findings The urge urinary incontinence (UUI) responder (i.e., more than 50% improvement in daily UUI episodes as compared to baseline) rates decreased from 58.4% (73.5/126) at 6 months to 55.5% (70/126) at 24 months in the 'all implanted' analysis set (N=126). The average change in UUI episodes/day from baseline was 2.7 at 6 and 12 months and 2.6 at 24 months. Results from the Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-q) scores were overall stable with the average score being 71.1 at 12 months and 72.7 in 24 months The OAB-q responder (i.e., an improvement in OAB-q score of at least 10 points) rate at 24 months decreased to 59% (74/126) from 65.1% (82/126) at 12 months and 70.6% (89/126) at 6 months follow-up. Effectiveness differences were observed between age-related subgroups. At 24 months, patients over 65 years old showed 49% (33.3/68) UUI response rates compared to 63.2% (36.6/58) in younger patients. Additionally, the stimulation amplitude increased over time. The average value of the stimulation amplitude increased from 5.5 mA at 1 month to 8.4 mA at 24 months.
Study Strengths & Weaknesses Strengths:
Prospective, multicenter clinical study.
High rate of follow-up at 24 months (104 of 126 (82.5%) implanted subjects completed 24 month followed up).

Weaknesses:
Single-arm study, therefore, in the absence of a control group, the study endpoints may be subject to placebo effect.
Given the UUI responder rate over time and effectiveness differences in subjects >65 years old, longer-term effectiveness data are necessary to determine whether the device’s effectiveness continues to diminish over time and with age.
Recommendations for Labeling Changes The sponsor should revise the labeling to include the 24-month data from the pivotal study in the labeling.
