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.

Device Name SJM BIOCOR VALVE / SJM BIOCOR SUPRA VALVE
General Study Protocol Parameters
Study Design Prospective Cohort Study
Data Source New Data Collection
Comparison Group Objective Performance Criterion
Analysis Type Descriptive
Study Population Adult: >21
Detailed Study Protocol Parameters
Study Objectives Prospective cohort
Study Population Subjects requiring an aortic valve replacement were implanted with either the Biocor aortic valve or the Biocor Supra aortic valve
Sample Size A total of 800 patient- years of follow-up with a minimum of 100 patients followed for at least 5 years, enrolled across 25 sites.
Key Study Endpoints NYHA, hemolysis, nonstructural dysfunction, paravalvular leak, structural deterioration/failure, bleeding events, embolism, endocarditis, valve thrombosis, reoperation, explant and death (all and valve-related).
Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up >120 patients would be out 4 years or more, -50-70 patients will be out 6 years or more and of these 25-30 would be out 7 years.
Annually out to 8 years
Interim or Final Data Summary
Interim Results At one year the majority of subjects report none or trivial hemodynamic insufficiency. There were no mean gradients greater than 14.9 mmHg reported.
Actual Number of Patients Enrolled 300 (297 subjects met eligibility criteria)
Actual Number of Sites Enrolled 17
Patient Follow-up Rate at 5 years (114 eligible subjects) - 94.7% (108/114)
Overall cumulative follow-up - 959.4 late patient-years (average of 3.2± 1.9 years)
Final Safety Findings Early adverse event rate (? 30 days post implant) based on 297 subjects:
Bleeds 7.4% (7.1% major), Deaths 2.4% (0.3% valve-related), Embolism 0.7%, and 0.3% Paravalvular leak.

Linearized late adverse event rate (number per 100 late patient year) based on 959.4 late patient years are as follows:
Bleeds 4.48 (4.17 major), Deaths 3.86 (0.52 valve-related), Reoperation 1.36, Endocarditis 1.04, Embolism 0.83 (TIA 0.52, stroke 0.10), Nonstructural dysfunction 0.42, Structural deterioration 0.31, and Thrombosis 0.10.

The rates of freedom from event at 5 years post implant by Kaplan Meier analysis are

Structural valve deterioration - 97.7% Reoperation- 94.2%
Valve-related mortality- 97.5% Bleeding Event ? 76.1% Embolism- 95.2%
Endocarditis- 96.1%
Final Effect Findings The proportion of subjects in NYHA class I or II at 5 years: all Biocor valve positions - 91.5% (97/106), Aortic position - 93.1% (41/44), Aortic Supra position - 90.9% (40/44) and Mitral position- 88.9% (16/18)
Study Strengths & Weaknesses The study achieved a high follow-up rate of 94.7% at 5-year post implant, and an overall follow-up of
959.4 late patient years greater than the expected 800 late patient years. At least 100 patients were
followed out to 5 years as required per protocol.

Weaknesses
This was a single arm study without a comparator. Thus, the study result was not evaluated by a formal statistical test.
Recommendations for Labeling Changes Labeling change is recommended to reflect the long term data from the post-approval study. The labeling change should include a new section on the label showing a summary of the post-approval study methods (including study objectives, design, population, number of enrolled sites/subjects, key endpoints, follow ?up visits etc.), final results and study strengths and limitations of the PAS.
