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 Objective: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Lutonix Catheter for treatment of stenosis of the femoropopliteal arteries in the US female population.
The originally designed study (CONFIRM) was a prospective, multicenter, randomized study. The sponsor had difficulty enrolling for numerous years since approval. The sponsor noted the following reasons regarding the difficulty in enrollment:
“Enrollment as a randomized study is not feasible due to the following:
• Ethically, IRB approval would be difficult as this study is requiring randomization of patients to POBA which is known to be inferior to a commercially available drug coated balloon...
• Patient consent would be difficult given the commercial availability of DCBs, clinical outcomes of the DCBs, and the potential for randomization to POBA.”

In order to help with enrollment, this study was later changed to a single-arm study with a performance goal prior to enrolling any patients. Yet, the study continued to have enrollment issues, enrolling only 4 subjects 4 years after approval. At this time, it was ultimately decided by FDA and Lutonix that retrospective analysis of the female patients in their SAFE-DCB real world US registry would be the only way to get results for this evaluation in a timely manner.
The design and results from the SAFE-DCB registry are described below.




Study Population US patients presenting with claudication or ischemic rest pain and an angiographically significant lesion in the superficial femoral or popliteal artery. Subjects are treated per IFU with the Lutonix Catheter.
Sample Size Approximately 1005 patients were enrolled at 74 US sites.
Key Study Endpoints The primary safety endpoint is the composite of freedom from device and/or procedure related peri-operative (less than or equal to 30 day) death and freedom at 1 year from the following: target limb major amputation (above the ankle), and target vessel revascularization (TVR).

The primary effectiveness endpoint is target lesion revascularization (TLR) at 12 months.

Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up 36 months
1, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months
Interim or Final Data Summary
Actual Number of Patients Enrolled 1005 (418 female)
Actual Number of Sites Enrolled 74
Patient Follow-up Rate 79.3%
Final Safety Findings Freedom from Primary Safety Event

DCB Overall Population - 98.2% (937/954) [97.2%,99.0%]
DCB Female Subgroup - 97.8% (401/410) [95.9%,99.0%]
