Why do we need this Benefit-Risk Guidance? “This guidance § clarifies this process for industry, which will § provide manufacturers with greater predictability, consistency and transparency in FDA decisionmaking while § allowing manufacturers and the FDA to use a common framework for benefit-risk determinations, ”* Jeffrey Shuren, M. D. , J. D. CDRH Director *http: //www. fda. gov/News. Events/Newsroom/Press. Announcements/ucm 297411. htm 4

What does the Guidance apply to? • Premarket approval applications (PMAs) • De Novo applications Note: Guidance does not apply to premarket approval notifications (510 ks) 5

What does this new Guidance do? § Summarizes factors the FDA considers when making the benefit-risk determination § Provides standardized method for making decisions and documenting in consistent manner § Also contains several hypothetical examples to illustrate the process § Appendices to the Guidance include the worksheet the FDA uses during review to summarize its analysis and sample worksheets based on hypothetical examples 6

What constitutes an “appropriate benefit-risk determination”? § Does not refer to device being “OK” to approve or clear § Utilizes consistent methods to conduct premarket reviews of benefit and risk § Considers both valid clinical and non-clinical data § Supported by data analysis which demonstrates whether or not probable benefits of a device outweigh probable risks § Includes completion of Worksheet for Benefit-Risk Determinations § Takes into consideration applicable factors described in the following slides 7

Factors FDA considers in assessing benefit § § Type of benefit(s) Magnitude of benefit(s) Probability a patient will experience benefit(s) Duration of benefit(s) 8

Factors FDA considers in assessing risk § Severity, types, number and rates of harmful events associated with use of device, including: § Device-related serious adverse events § Device-related non-serious adverse events § Complications from procedures § Probability of a harmful event; Duration § Risk of false-positive or false-negative results for diagnostics 9

Additional factors FDA takes into account § § § Degree of certainty of benefits and risks of a device Risk mitigation Post-market data Patient tolerance for risk and perspective on benefit Availability of alternative treatments or diagnostics Novel technology addressing unmet medical need 10

Patient Tolerance for Risk & Perspective on Benefit § § Patients with serious disease, advanced sx’s Permanent implant Mechanism of action unclear Data indicates – Improved symptoms – Increased mortality § Patient preferences survey 11

Novel Technology and Unmet Medical Need § Medically refractory condition – High morbidity and mortality § Permanent implant – Around vascular structures § Bench testing safety concern – Potential for damage/erosion into artery § Long-term animal study needed – Prior to clinical study or run concurrently? 12

Internal FDA Training § Premarket review staff received training prior to implementation § Periodic “Grand Rounds” – ODE and OIR (previously OIVD) – Led by Chief Medical Officers – Discuss current PMA and de novo applications 13
