Statistical Overview Telba Irony, Ph. D. Mathematical Statistician Division of Biostatistics
Statistical Analyses: Core Study • Prospective • Multi-Center • 10–year study • Reported follow-up time points: • 4 weeks, 6 months, 1, 2, 3 years • All patients traversed the 2 -year window • A large fraction of patients traversed the 3 -year window 73
Core Study Augmentation § 494 patients and 83% traversed the 3 -year visit. § 398 patients were expected at 3 years. § Actual # of patients at 3 years: 322 (19% lost to follow-up) Reconstruction § 221 patients and 58% traversed the 3 -year visit. § 116 patients were expected at 3 years. § Actual # of patients at 3 years: 105 (9% lost to follow-up ) Revision § 225 patients and 91% traversed the 3 -year visit. § 192 patients were expected at 3 years. § Actual # of patients at 3 years: 160 (17% lost to follow-up) 74
Descriptive Nature of Studies n There were no claims, targets, or control groups in this study. n Descriptive statistics: No hypothesis tests. n Sample size: Reflected in the width (i. e. precision) of the confidence interval. n Decision makers should assess the adequacy of the precision of the results when weighing the risks and benefits of the implants. 75
Safety Endpoints - Rates § § Adverse Events Implant Rupture Reoperations Implant Replacement/Removal Employed Statistical Techniques 1. Kaplan - Meier analyses 2. “Prevalence” 3. “Incidence” 76
Kaplan-Meier Analyses Kaplan-Meier analyses were conducted on the time to first occurrence of each adverse event. Result: Estimated probability that a patient will experience the adverse event from the time of implant up to the considered time point. Advantage: Patients who were lost to follow -up provide information up to the time they left the study. Independence Assumption for Censoring 77
Kaplan-Meier Analyses (cont. ) n n n Days were used as units of time for the computation of the rates (alleviates interval censoring bias). Assumption: reporting is accurate to the date Correlation among adverse events: not taken into account Competing Risks Problem: To solve it, all patients that experienced a complication were returned to the “pool” of patients who could experience another complication. Exception: Implant Removal 78
Kaplan-Meier Analyses (cont. ) Reoperation: “ 95% Confidence Intervals for the chance of a patient experiencing reoperation by. . . ” (%) Aug 4 weeks 6 months 1. 9 ± 1. 1 6. 0± 2. 1 1 year 2 Years 3 years* 11. 2± 2. 8 17. 2± 3. 4 20. 6± 3. 8 Recon 4. 1± 2. 6 23. 7± 5. 7 32. 0± 6. 2 37. 2± 6. 6 45. 9± 9. 2* Rev 3. 6± 2. 5 16. 1± 4. 9 22. 7± 5. 6 29. 5± 6. 1 33. 4± 6. 5 * Correction by using Peto’s Formula 79
Other Statistical Techniques Prevalence: percentage of patients seen at a given follow-up visit, who are experiencing a specific adverse event. (given they returned to the follow-up) Incidence: percentage of patients seen at a given follow-up visit who are experiencing the adverse event not experienced at earlier visits (given they returned to the follow-up). Disadvantage: Both measures are very sensitive to biases generated by losses to follow up. 80
Additional Safety Information Connective Tissue Disease Signs and Symptoms • The frequencies of patients reporting 8 categories of signs and symptoms of CTD before implantation was compared to the frequencies 2 years after implantation. • For all cohorts, all 8 frequencies increased after implantation. The only exception was the urinary symptom: the frequency remained the same in the Reconstruction group. 81
Additional Safety Information Connective Tissue Disease Signs and Symptoms • To assess the statistical significance of the increases in the frequencies, the sponsor used a Bonferroni correction that was too conservative for this case. It did not take into account possible correlations among signs and symptoms. • Consequence: It was difficult to detect statistical significance. 82
Additional Safety Information Connective Tissue Disease Signs and Symptoms • Despite the conservative statistical analysis, the increase in the frequency of some signs and symptoms was statistically significant. • However, the clinical interpretation is problematic: no control group 83
Medical Device Surveillance & Literature Overview S. Lori Brown, Ph. D. , M. P. H. Office of Surveillance and Biometrics
Medical Device Reporting n What is Medical Device Reporting (MDR)? n MDR is the mechanism for the Food and Drug Administration to receive significant medical device adverse events from manufacturers, importers, and user facilities 85
CDRH Surveillance Databases n Manufacturer And User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database - MDR and Med. Watch reports are entered into database - 1992 -present n Alternative Summary Reporting (ASR) – 1995 -present n Device Experience Network (DEN) – 1984 -1996 86
Surveillance is NOT the equivalent of a clinical study: n Rates cannot be calculated because of under-reporting of adverse events n Number of individuals at risk (denominator) is unknown. It is not appropriate to use the number of devices sold as the denominator! 87
Surveillance does not always establish causality: n Accuracy and completeness not verified n Cannot always establish a causal link between a death or injury and the listed device(s) 88
Surveillance Reports Are n Important for providing a signal of a potential problem with a regulated medical product 89

Panel Questions
Panel Question 1 Prospective MRI screening for asymptomatic rupture was conducted in a subset of Core Study participants (approximately 34%). Complete MRI screening data are available for the 1 -year post-operative timepoint for each indication and partial 3 year data are available for the augmentation indication at the time of database closure. Continued MRI screening of this Core Study subset is planned for at years 3, 5, 7, and 9 after implantation. Of the 15 implant ruptures that Inamed reports as confirmed at the time of database closure, the majority--9 implants (60%)--were initially detected by MRI screening and were asymptomatic: Core Augmentation, 0 of 3 ruptures; Core Reconstruction, 6 of 8 ruptures; and Core Revision, 3 of 5 ruptures. Additionally, published literature on silicone gel implant rupture, although not specific to Inamed’s implants, indicates that rupture rate increases significantly with implant age and that depending on implant type, manufacturer, and age, between 26% (median implant age 12 years) and 55% (median implant age 16. 4 years) of implants assessed by MRI had MRI evidence of rupture. Please discuss the adequacy of the information to determine the safety of this product with respect to asymptomatic rupture. 113
Panel Question 2 Potential long-term and general health effect issues for these implants include the risk of cancer(s), connective tissue disorders (typical and atypical), gel migration, interference of implant on ability of mammography to detect tumors in implanted breasts, interference with breast feeding, reproductive/teratogenic effects, and the later effects on offspring from women with implants. To address these issues, Inamed utilized historical published literature, which is not specific to Inamed’s implants, as well as animal studies on their product. Please discuss the adequacy of the literature and preclinical testing to determine the safety of this product with respect to long-term and general health 114 effects.
Panel Question 3 Considering the safety data reported for the augmentation group: n local complications reported in Core Study, Adjunct Study, and AR 90 Study n asymptomatic/silent rupture information based on approximately 30% of the patients in the Core Study with only the first of 5 prospective serial screenings with complete data n published historical literature and animal data to address long term and general health effects. Given these data, and that the augmentation patient generally has breast implant surgery at a younger age which includes childbearing years compared to the other indications, is there reasonable assurance that the device is safe for augmentation patients? 115
Panel Question 4 Considering the safety data reported for the reconstruction and revision groups: n local complications reported in Core Study, Adjunct Study, and AR 90 Study n asymptomatic/silent rupture information based on approximately 30% of the patients in the Core Study with only the first of 5 prospective serial screenings with complete data n published historical literature and animal data to address long term and general health effects. Given these data, and that reconstruction and revision patients generally undergo breast implantation at an older age than augmentation patients, is there reasonable assurance that the device is safe for reconstruction and revision 116 patients?
Panel Question 5 To evaluate device effectiveness, Inamed collected data on patient satisfaction and health status/quality of life (e. g. , SF-36, MOS-20, Body Esteem Scale, etc. ). Based on these data, has Inamed adequately demonstrated reasonable assurance of effectiveness of the implants for each of the augmentation, reconstruction, and revision indications? 117
Panel Question 6 Given the information in question 1 and if you recommend approval of the PMA, please address the following with respect to labeling for the device: n Provide your recommendations for the frequency and method of screening for asymptomatic rupture, given that prospective screening for asymptomatic rupture in not currently routinely performed. n Provide your recommendations for the necessity of explantation of asymptomatic implant ruptures. 118
Panel Question 7 Inamed provided a brief description of their postapproval study plan. The Core Study protocol, as well as informed consent, currently requires yearly follow-up with a physician. Inamed is now proposing a change to the study requirements as follows. More specifically, Inamed is proposing a 2 -phase postapproval study. Phase I involves continued physician evaluation as per the IDE protocol through a patient’s 5 -year follow-up timepoint. Phase II involves mail-in surveys completed by the patient from their 6 to 10 -year follow-up timepoints. In the proposed Phase II protocol, for example, MRI screening for asymptomatic rupture would not be captured. Given this proposal and if you recommend approval of the PMA: n Please comment on the method of data collection (mailed survey) from the 6 -10 -year timepoints, given that the Core Study protocol as well as informed consent currently calls for prospective yearly follow-up. n In addition, please describe any other specific endpoints that should be captured as part of their postapproval study. For example, in the proposed protocol, silent rupture would not be captured. 119
