3 Overview Problems of coronary intervention Review Point
Points of concern in review process –non clinical part Clinical evaluation Points of concern in review process –Clinical part Summary This slide shows overview about today’ presentation ; 1.Problems of remained coronary intervention 2.Review point 3.Points of concern in review process –non clinical part 4.Clinical evaluation 5.Points of concern in review process –Clinical part 6.Summary

4 Problems of coronary intervention with DES
Difficulty of treatment for Stent restenosis Required long dual antiplatelet therapy Late stent thrombosis As you know , we could take a paradigm shift about percutaneous coronary intervention by using drug eluting stents. But there are still remained these problems. 1) Difficulty of treatment for Stent restenosis 2)Required long dual antiplatelet therapy 3) Late stent thrombosis DES→BMSに比べて明らかな再狭窄抑制効果を示し、冠動脈血管内治療における標準療法としての地位を確立 残された問題点 ・未だ残るステント内再狭窄 ・長期間のDAPT ・遅発性ステント血栓症

5 What is the purpose of development?
Review point What is the purpose of development? What is expected in utilization of additional materials? What character/performance was expected in the design for the behavior of additional materials? What are the appropriate evaluation that additional material could achieve the purpose? In our pre-marketing review process, these items should be clarified; What is the purpose of development? And what kind of materials is utilized to achieve the concept? What character/performance are expected in the design for the behavior of additional materials? What are the appropriate evaluation that additional material could achieve the purpose?

6 Points of concern in review process non clinical part for innovative stent
Characterization of Novel products Efficacy mechanism Safety Biocompatibility Behavior/profile in coronary artery (implantation, intermediate change, long-term) General requirements for stent products See/Refer the MHLW notification regarding stent products In this slide, we would like to briefly introduce the point to consider in non-clinical data review for innovative stent. Especially innovative stent needs to be clarified in following points; The additional characteristics of novel products. The mechanism of its efficacy Biocompatibility Behavior/profile in coronary artery Basically, it is important to confirm the stent satisfy the prerequisite of conventional coronary stents. When you develop coronary stent in Japan, please refer to a MHLW notification regarding stent products.

7 Other related requirements
Materials for device stability and durability Materials for biocompatibility Evaluation using animal model Implant test in swine (pig) coronary arteries Nonclinical evaluation to determine if the device accomplish its purpose of development Off course following items that are general requirements for medical devices are required for coronary stent too: Device stability and durability, biocompatibility, and performance evaluation in animal study. And device concept validation by bench testing.

8 Review points –clinical evaluation
What is clinical positioning of innovative coronary stent? DES Equal (+probable benefit?) Complimentarily? Completely different ? BMS Next, we briefly introduce point to consider in clinical review of innovative stent. Innovative stent needs to be clarified its clinical positioning/FEATURE/CHARACTER?. Should it be used as a conventional DES or BMS? Should it be used with a conventional device complimentaly? Should it be use compassionatively? CABG Balloon angioplasty

9 Points of concern in review process –clinical part
Purpose of the clinical trial determine nonpriority to pre-existint DES? Subject patients similar population to pre-existing DES trials? Control arm comparison with DES arm may be applicable at present, with DES population as subject? Primary endpoints Clinical endpoints (e.g. TVF) ? The clinical positioning of the innovative stent could be clarified, we could be scientifically justified, objective of the study, study population, control arm, primary endpoints in clinical trial. When you compare the stent to existing DES, the study should be designed to make this comparison possible.

10 Points of concern in review process –clinical part
Important items Duration of antiplatelet therapy? How to establish approvable timeframe? Necessary secondary endpoints? Items to be observed? Additional topics, e.g. facility of retreatment Long term outcomes Innovative stent might have undetected risk, so we should evaluate its clinical benefit. So following items are important in the review of clinical trial; The duration of antiplatelet therapy and its justification Secondary endpoints Clinical items to be observed Facility in case of retreatment Long term outcomes The necessity of innovative device development is understandable. The device may be an option to solve various remaining problems in existing stents. On the other hand, its clinical efficacy and safety are not yet to be clarified in many aspects, because of its state-of-the-art technology.

11 Review point What is the purpose of development Clinical positioning
Risk Benefit Clinical positioning Alternative? or Unmet need? Various? or Brand new? Non-clinical test Clinical trial Purpose Study population Control endpoint Safety duration Nobel materials Efficacy Safety Device performance Appropriate study design and evaluation based on its clinical positioning Appropriate evaluation based on its concept As a summary, it is necessary to make clear what is the purpose of development. Should it increase the benefit or decrease the risk? If it would be clear , we could understand its clinical positioning. Regarding its clinical positioning, we could make clear patients population, suitable control, efficacy and safety measures. Off course, pre-clinical test and bench test are required.

12 Make clear the purpose or concept of the innovative stent
Take Home message Make clear the purpose or concept of the innovative stent Then we could make clear its clinical positioning and the purpose of clinical trial Take Home message is Make clear the purpose or concept of the innovative stent Then we could make clear its clinical positioning/FEATURE/CHARACTER and the purpose of clinical trial
