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.

Study Strengths & Weaknesses The PERSEUS Workhorse study was prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind, non-inferiority trial with a sample size of 1,262 subjects. The PERSEUS Workhorse study met its performance goals. The PERSEUS Workhorse PAS included only subjects with a study stent implanted (n=1,249) and followed them up to five years. Strengths of this PAS include randomized treatment assignment; a low rate of attrition in both treatment groups, thus minimizing selection bias; and a large sample size.
The PERSEUS Small Vessel study was a prospective, single-aim, superiority trial with an historical control. A total of 223 subjects were implanted with the TAXUS Element stent and compared with 125 matched bare metal (BMS) Express stent subjects from the TAXUS V trial. The subjects were followed-up to five years. Strengths of this PAS include a control group; and a low rate of attrition, thus minimizing selection bias.
Recommendations for Labeling Changes A labeling change is recommended to add a summary of the post-approval study results including study strengths and limitations. The updated label will reflect the long-term performance of the device from the pre-market cohorts.
