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.

Final Effect Findings RCT
Key effectiveness outcomes are summarized as follows, in subjects who were evaluated for each outcome measure at the 5-year visit:

NYHA Classification: There was improvement in NYHA classification from baseline to 5-years. At 30 days, improvement by at least 1 class was seen in 80% of assessed Lotus subjects and 78% of assessed CoreValve subjects; this improvement was sustained for both groups at 5 years (82% for Lotus and 74% for CoreValve) for evaluable subjects.
KCCQ: Improvement was observed in both overall and clinical summary scores through five years. Among assessed subjects in the Lotus cohort, the overall summary score improved from 51.9 +/-5 at baseline to 73.0+/-3 at 30 days and remained high at 5 years (73.5+/-6). Similar results were seen in the CoreValve cohort.
Valve Performance Outcomes:
Mean aortic gradient improved in both cohorts from baseline values of 43.85+/-31 mmHg (CoreValve) and 44.64+/-35 mmHg (Lotus) to discharge values of 8.19+/-9 mmHg (CoreValve) and 12.20+/-1 mmHg (Lotus). Values remained low out to 5 years at 7.79+/-0 mmHg (CoreValve) and 12.64+/-8 mmHg (Lotus).
Mean EOA improved from 0.70+/-9 cm2 (CoreValve) and 0.69+/-9 cm2 (Lotus) at baseline to 1.96+/-2 cm2 (CoreValve) and 1.65+/-7 cm2 (Lotus) at discharge and remained high out to 5 years at 1.57+/-6 cm2 (CoreValve) and 1.42+/-2 cm2 (Lotus).
At 30 days, fewer subjects in the Lotus group compared to the CoreValve group had moderate or greater Paravalvular Regurgitation (0.6% vs. 7.2%). This result was maintained at 1 year (0.9% vs. 6.8%) through 5 years (0% vs. 1.9%).
Roll-in
NYHA Classification: There was improvement in NYHA classification from baseline to 5-years. At 30 days, improvement by at least 1 class was seen in 82.4% of assessed subjects; this improvement was sustained at 1 year (87.2%) and to 5 years for 73.3% of subjects.
KCCQ: Improvement was observed in both overall and clinical summary scores through five years. Among assessed subjects, the KCCQ overall summary score improved from 52.7+/-6 at baseline to 69.9+/-0 at 30 days and remained high at 1 year (75.6+/-3), 3 years (71.5+/-5), and 5 years (68.6+/-1).
Valve Performance Outcomes:
Mean aortic gradient improved from 47.9+/-3 mmHg at baseline to 12.1+/- mmHg at discharge and remained low out to 1 year (12.3+/- mmHg) and 5 years (11.8+/- mmHg).
Mean effective orifice area improved from 0.67+/-0 cm2 at baseline to 1.70+/-9 cm2 at discharge and was 1.53+/-9 cm2 at 1 year and 1.830+/-562 at 5 years.
At 30 days, 1% had moderate or greater Paravalvular Regurgitation, 0% at 1 year and 5.9% at 5 years.
CAS
NYHA Classification: There was improvement in NYHA classification from baseline to 5-years. At 30 days, improvement by at least 1 class was seen in 79% of assessed subjects; this improvement was sustained at 1 year (86%), 2 years (82%), 3 years (75%), and 4 years (77.3%).
KCCQ: Improvement was observed in both overall and clinical summary scores through five years. Among assessed subjects, the KCCQ overall summary score improved from 53.5+/-8 at baseline to 71.8+/-6 at 30 days and remained high at 1 year (74.7+/-6) and 3 years (74.4+/-5).
Valve Performance Outcomes:
Mean aortic gradient improved from 44.3+/-8 mmHg at baseline to 12.5+/- mmHg at discharge and remained low out to 30 days (12.2+/- mmHg), 1 year (12.7+/- mmHg) and beyond.
Mean effective orifice area improved from 0.68+/-9 cm2 at baseline to 1.61+/-2 cm2 at discharge and was sustained at 30 days (1.55+/-1 cm2), 1 year (1.51+/-6 cm2), and beyond.
At 30 days, 1.5% had moderate or greater Paravalvular Regurgitation. This result was maintained at 1 year (1.2%) through 4 years (1.1%).

Study Strengths & Weaknesses These continued follow-up studies provide longer-term data on the safety and effectiveness of the Boston Scientific Corporation Lotus Valve System in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who are at extreme or high risk for standard surgical valve replacement.

These studies were intended to evaluate the longer-term safety and effectiveness of the Lotus and LOTUS Edge Valve Systems (through 5 years). Due to voluntary recall and discontinuation of the LOTUS Edge system, the study timeline was truncated for the CAS and LOTUS Edge Nested Registry studies and safety and effectiveness data is collected through 4-year and 30-day follow-up, respectively.

For the Randomized controlled trial, generally, outcomes suggest that safety and effectiveness is maintained through 5 years post procedure, with meaningful improvements shown for key effectiveness endpoints from baseline to 5 years.

Across all studies, it should be noted that some subjects did not complete all visit assessments (e.g., echocardiographic imaging, NYHA, KCCQ). Incomplete data may introduce bias to study outcomes.
Recommendations for Labeling Changes No labeling changes recommended. The device has been recalled and discontinued, and is no longer commercially available.
