Prespecified Definition of Stroke and TIAPrespecified Definition of Stroke and TIA(CEC Adjudicated)(CEC Adjudicated)
Stroke is a neurological deficit lasting ≥ 24 hours, or lasting < 24 hours with a brain imaging study showing infarction
A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a fully reversible neurologic event that lasts less than 24 hours and if an imaging study is performed, shows no evidence of infarction.

Summary
• Trial met primary statistical non-inferiority endpoint (mortality non-inferiority delta 7.5%)
• Assessment of Risk/Benefit needs to include consideration of neurological events, aortic insufficiency, vascular complications, gender, and access approach.
• Due to limited clinical data, long term durability still remains in question

Reminder
• The discussion of a PAS prior to FDA determination of device approvability should not be interpreted to mean FDA is suggesting the device’s safety and effectiveness have been established.
• The plan to conduct a PAS does not decrease the threshold of evidence required by FDA for device approval.
• The premarket IDE data submitted to the Agency and discussed today must stand on its own in demonstrating a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness.
79
Need for Post-Approval Studies for PMA
• Gather postmarket information– Long-term performance including effects of re-
treatments & device changes– Broader device performance (patients and clinicians) – Effectiveness of training programs– Sub-group performance
– Outcomes of concern (safety and effectiveness)
• Account for Panel recommendations
80
Post-Approval Study Components
• Fundamental study question or hypothesis
• Safety endpoints and methods of assessment
• Safety & effectiveness endpoints and methods of assessment
• Duration of follow-up
81
Summary of Postmarket Concerns for SAPIEN THV
• Long term device durability
• Long term patient quality of life (QoL)
• Learning curve assessment
• Comparison of
– Postmarket patients with premarket cohort
– Patient populations (gender & race) and outcomes
– Device performance
82
Important Postmarket Concerns for SAPIEN THV
• Long term (5-year) performance– Most IDE patients already have 2-3 years of follow-up data
– Analyses of echo data (durability) & QoL data (yrs. 2-5)
• Learning curve consists of:1) Technical aspects of procedure
• Technical complexity may vary by approach (TA and TF)
2) Appropriate patient selection
83
Important Postmarket Concerns for SAPIEN THV (cont.)
• Performance in gender and minority groups– Gender interaction: Males – Control better, Females – SAPIEN
better
– <10% of IDE patients were minorities, though minorities have poorer outcomes following AVR.1
• Assess valve-in-valve performance– Valve-in-valve implant method rarely seen premarket study
– Reports of this method in literature
[1] Taylor NE, O'Brien S, Edwards FH, Peterson ED, Bridges CR. Relationship between race and mortality and morbidity after valve replacement surgery. Circulation. 2005 Mar 15;111(10):1305-12.
84
Important Postmarket Concerns for SAPIEN THV
• Association between mortality and aortic regurgitation (AR) severity (no/trace vs. mild/moderate/severe) – 1 year: 53% of TAVR pts had mild-severe AR vs.14% AVR
– Increased hazard of mortality for mild-severe AR compared to no/trace AR in TAVR pts (HR – 2.1) premarket

FDA Assessment of Sponsor’s Proposed PAS
• PAS 1: The follow-up duration of the IDE is 5 years. FDA finds the sponsor’s plans to assess long-term durability and QoL adequate.
PAS 2: The gender*treatment interaction was significant (p<0.10; not powered). FDA recommends that the premarket data be pooled with the postmarket data in order to further analyze the differences by gender.
90
FDA Assessment of Sponsor’s Proposed PAS
PAS 2: Valve-in-valve procedures may occur postmarket. FDA recommends that the PAS be used to monitor short-term and long-term effects of safety and effectiveness of valve-in-valve implantation.
PAS 2: Premarket data showed an increased hazard of mortality in TAVR patients with mild-severe AR compared to those with no-trace AR. The FDA recommends that the PAS include a plan to analyze the association between AR severity and mortality.

Primary EndpointPrimary Endpoint
• Primary endpoint met statistical non-inferiority with 7.5% delta
• Consider additional factors when assessing benefit-risk:– Long-Term Performance and Outcomes– Trial Conduct– Patient Treatment– Neurological Events– Aortic Insufficiency– Vascular Complications
93
Long-Term and Trial ConductLong-Term and Trial Conduct
• Long-term Performance – Valve durability and performance– Patient outcomes
• Trial Conduct– Screening and enrollment– Patient selection– Missing data
94
Patient TreatmentPatient Treatment
• Trial– Open AVR versus Open TAVR?– Concomitant operations– Delay in treatment
• Interpretation of the Data– Males versus Females– Transapical versus Transfemoral
95
SafetySafety
• Neurological adverse events– Higher events in TA– Mitigate risk?
• Aortic Insufficiency– Aortic regurgitation is appreciable at 1-2 years – The long-term clinical significance is unknown
• Vascular complications– 1st generation device/delivery system– Does the training program adequately address
ways to minimize this risk?
96
Additional ConsiderationsAdditional Considerations
• Informed Consent– How much information is enough to convey benefit
versus risk to patients?
• Need for post-approval study– TVT Registry– Determine “real world” use– Interpretation of subjective measures such as
quality of life data in unblinded trials– How long should these patients be followed?

102
CMS data & TVT registry
• The TVT registry requirement is for 1 year of follow-up1
– Registry collects all strokes, and does not distinguish between disabling and non-disabling strokes.
• CMS records linked with PAS patient study for 5 year study data– Patients matched on demographics, history of stroke
and heart disease. – However, the sponsor does not account for multiple
CMS records that can serve as a match for one patient.

Death and Missing on 6MWT (Sponsor Claim)
• Sponsor Claim: “Refer to Table 8.4 in Updated Clinical Report, AVR: 87/268 (32.5%), SAPIEN 24/269 (16.4%).”
• Inconsistencies in the sponsor’s calculation: – Number of death (Number of Alive patients)– Missing number among alive patients (Missing due to protocol or
medical reason are NOT counted as “missing”)
111
Death and Missing on 6MWT (FDA Calculation)
– Total: 351 for AVR and 348 for SAPIEN– Death at 1 year: 89 for AVR and 84 for SAPIEN– Observed 6MWT at 1 year: 150 for AVR and 198
for SAPIEN– Missing among alive:
• AVR: (351-89-150)/(351-89) = 112/262=43%• SAPIEN: (348-84-198)/(348-84) = 66/264=25%
