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 is a controlled, prospective, single-arm, multi-center (up to 20 sites) study. Enrolled subjects will be followed at 2, 12, and
24 months (2 years) post implant.
Study Population Patients age 6 months to 21 years weighing > 5kg with an angiographically confirmed PDA with a minimum diameter < 4 mm.
Sample Size A total of 180 subjects will be enrolled to ensure 150 subjects treated with the device will be available at 24 months post-procedure.
Key Study Endpoints The primary safety endpoint is the serious device and/or procedure related
adverse event rate at 60 months post-procedure.

The primary effectiveness endpoint is the rate of complete closure of the ductus arteriosus as assessed by absence of residual flow at 5 years follow-up by by transthoracic echocardiogram with 2-D color of color flow mapping and pulse wave Doppler (ECHO).
Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up 5 years
Clinical assessments at 2, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months
Echocardiography at 2, 12, 36, and 60 months
Interim or Final Data Summary
Actual Number of Patients Enrolled The study enrolled a total of 184 subjects from 11 study sites, 180 subjects were implanted with
the device.
Actual Number of Sites Enrolled The study enrolled a total of 184 subjects from 11 study sites, 180 subjects were implanted with
the device.
Patient Follow-up Rate 155/163 (95.1%) completed the 24-month visit
9/9 (100%) completed the 36-month visit per protocol
8/8 (100%) completed the 48-month visit per protocol
6/6 (100%) completed the 60-month visit per protocol
Final Safety Findings The primary safety endpoint was to demonstrate the 24-month serious device-related adverse
event rate was no worse than the objective performance criterion (OPC) of 1%. The secondary
safety endpoint was to demonstrate that the rate of device-related adverse events reported
through 24 months post procedure was no worse than 6% (OPC rate of 3% plus an added 3%
margin).
A total of 130 adverse events were reported. Of those, 18 were either adjudicated as serious by
the CEC (n=17) or categorized as serious by the investigator (n=1). Of the 18 SAEs, 2 were
adjudicated as device-related. Additionally, six (6) device-related AEs were reported.
Two (2) late-onset AEs were reported to occur >12 months post-procedure and adjudicated as
device-related by the CEC. All other device- or procedure-related events occurred within one day of
the implant procedure.
For the primary safety endpoint, there were 2 serious device related adverse events reported
through 24 months post implant attempt such events, yielding an event rate of 1.1%. The 2-sided
95% CI is 0.13% to 3.9% and the one-sided CI upper bound = 3.4%. For the secondary safety
endpoint, there were 6 device related AEs in leass than 1 year post-procedure, yielding an event
rate of 3.3% and a one-sided CI upper bound of 6.5%.
Final Effect Findings The primary effectiveness endpoint was to demonstrate the 12-month complete closure
rate for the device was no worse than the OPC of 85%. The primary effectiveness endpoint was
calculated as the proportion of subjects with complete closure of the PDA as assessed by absence
of residual flow at the Month 12 follow-up visit. The core lab reports 97.5% (157/161) of subjects
had no (n=152) or trivial (n=5) residual leak at Month 12. The binomial confidence interval around
this rate is 93.8% to 99.3%.
Study Strengths & Weaknesses A strength of this study is that it evaluates the continued safety and effectiveness of the device in
the post-approval phase.
A weakness of this study is that it is a single-arm (non-randomized) study.
Recommendations for Labeling Changes A labeling change is recommended to add the long-term safety and effectiveness results from these studies.
