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 Population Adult: >21
Detailed Study Protocol Parameters
Study Objectives This is a prospective, multicenter, single arm cohort study to evaluate long-term safety, long-term effectiveness, and survival rate in the continued follow-up of the premarket cohort for the remede System Pivotal Trial.
Study Population Subjects who were previously implanted with the remede System and participated in the remede System Pivotal Trial
Sample Size Up to 94 subjects are available for the extended follow-up
Key Study Endpoints 1. Evaluate the survival rate
2. Evaluate long-term three and five-year device-related SAEs
3. Evaluate long-term three and five-year therapy-related SAEs
4. Evaluate the AHI, CAI and obstructive apnea index (OAI)
5. Evaluate the change in quality of life from Baseline
Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up Follow-up is planned for five years from the date of implant. Since all subjects have already completed 24 months of follow-up, total study duration is estimated to be three years.
30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 months follow-up assessments planned
Interim or Final Data Summary
Actual Number of Patients Enrolled 53
Actual Number of Sites Enrolled 18
Patient Follow-up Rate 30 month (0%), 36 month (0%), 42 month (17%), 48 month (45%), 54 month (73%), 60 month (98%) follow-up assessments
Final Safety Findings There were no unanticipated adverse events or significant increase in events. There have been no deaths attributed to the device, procedure or delivered therapy, and the survival rates were comparable with other published data sets.
Final Effect Findings The results continue to show a sustained improvement at similar levels as demonstrated in the pivotal trial for apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), central apnea index (CAI) as well as Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS).
Study Strengths & Weaknesses Weaknesses: Poor enrollment (53 of 94 eligible subjects, 56%) and missed follow-up assessments due to slower than anticipated enrollment of subjects.
Strengths: There was a high follow up rate at the 60 month visit (52 of 53 subjects enrolled, 98%), and this visit included assessment of all endpoints for safety and effectiveness, including an in-lab PSG study.
Recommendations for Labeling Changes The safety and effectiveness data were similar to those previously reported in the pivotal trial and no new safety signal has been identified. Therefore, no labeling change is recommended.
