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 98-03 study was a multi-center (19 sites), nonrandomized, prospective, concurrent controlled trial, which compared standard open surgical repair (n=99) to endovascular treatment with the EXCLUDER (n=235). The 99-04 study was designed to compare the modified EXCLUDER device to surgical controls with respect to safety and to the original EXCLUDER device with respect to effectiveness. One hundred and ninety three (193) subjects were enrolled between April 2000 and April 2001. Eighty eight (88) additional subjects were enrolled in the continued access protocol
Study Population Subjects implanted with the Gore EXCLUDER device.The EXCLUDER Bifurcated Endoprosthesis is intended to exclude the aneurysm from the blood circulation in patients diagnosed with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms disease and who have appropriate anatomy inluding: 1) adequate iliac/femoral access, 2) infrarenal aortic neck treatment diameter range of 19-26 inm and a minimum aortic neck length of 15 nim, 3) proximal aortic neck angulation greater than or equal to 60 degrees, and 4) Iliac artery treatment diameter range of 8-13.5 mm and iliac distal vessel seal zone length of at least 10 mm
Sample Size 565 patients, 99 surgical controls
Key Study Endpoints The primary clinical endpoints included major adverse events and major device events.
Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up Follow-up at 1-month, 3-months, 6-months, 12 months, and annually thereafter, for a total of 5 years.
Interim or Final Data Summary
Interim Results Study completed, see final results.
Actual Number of Patients Enrolled 565 patient
Actual Number of Sites Enrolled 19 or more sites
Patient Follow-up Rate 73%
Final Safety Findings The final analysis showed 81% survival at 5 years in the control group and 70% survival in the combined pre-market cohort. Survival from aneurysm-related mortality at 5 years was 98% in both groups, with no statistically significant difference.
Study Strengths & Weaknesses The strengths of the study included the prospective cohort study and concurrent control group.
Recommendations for Labeling Changes None
