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.

General Study Protocol Parameters
Study Design Prospective Cohort Study
Data Source External Registry
Comparison Group Concurrent Control
Analysis Type Descriptive
Detailed Study Protocol Parameters
Study Objectives Two-arm observational study – continued follow-up of subjects enrolled in the INSPIRE trial

Study Population All U.S. patients enrolled in the INSPIRE trial in the UNOS database and all OUS patients in INSPIRE who consent to participation

Sample Size A total of 349 patients were enrolled in the INSPIRE trial (mITT population). The sponsor has committed to aproaching all these patients to participate in the study and give Informed Consent. Additionally, the UNOS database will be queried to obtain endpoint data on all US INSPIRE patients in an anonymized fashion by arm.

Key Study Endpoints BOS-free survival (freedom from BOS and mortality) through 5 years post-transplantation
Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up Subjects will be followed for 5 years post-transplant. Interim post-approval reports will be submitted at 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 months after PMA approval.
Interim or Final Data Summary
Actual Number of Patients Enrolled 349 patients from the INSPIRE randomized trial
Actual Number of Sites Enrolled 17 sites
Patient Follow-up Rate 5-year follow-up rate: 99% (218/221)
Final Safety Findings There were 118 deaths and 14 re-transplantation over 5 years post initial lung transplant
Final Effect Findings 5-year BOS-free survival (BOS grade 1, 2, 3, or ungradeable) was similar in the OCS and SOC treatment arms (PP population: 53% OCS vs. 49% SOC, p-value=0.50; mITT population: 52% OCS vs. 49% SOC, p-value=0.57).
5-year patient survival was similar in the OCS and SOC treatment arms (PP population: 68% OCS vs. 65% SOC, p-value=0.84; mITT population: 67% OCS vs. 64% SOC, p-value=0.98).
5-year freedom from BOS (grade 1, 2, 3, or ungradeable) was similar in the OCS and SOC treatment arms (PP population: 67% OCS vs. 65% SOC, p-value=0.49; mITT population: 68% OCS vs. 65% SOC, p-value=0.35).
Study Strengths & Weaknesses Despite the acceptable number of patients and sites for a clinical study of this type and a high 5-year follow-up rate of 99%, it is concerning that the majority of participants were treated at a small number of sites. Of the 221 PAS patients, 124 patients (56%) were treated at 3 sites [Hanover (n=52); UCLA (n=47); and Leuven (n=25)]. This raises the concern that results of the overall trial may be driven by finding at these particular sites, thus limiting the generalizeability of the study findings to lung transplant patients at large. The PAS results need to be replicated in larger studies using real world evidence.
