Indications for Use

BT-001 is a prescription-only digital therapeutic device intended to provide cognitive behavioral therapy to patients 18 years or older with type 2 diabetes. The device targets behavior to aid in the management of type 2 diabetes in patients who are under the care of a healthcare provider. BT-001 provides cognitive behavioral therapy as a treatment that should be used adjunctively with standard of care.

Device Story

BT-001 is a prescription-only digital therapeutic software application for Android smartphones. It delivers self-directed cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to patients with type 2 diabetes to assist in behavioral modifications related to diabetes management (e.g., nutrition, exercise, medication adherence). The device allows users to self-report meals, exercise, medications, and biometrics, and provides goal setting and progress visualization. It is intended for use in 90-day increments as an adjunct to standard of care. The device does not provide real-time clinical intervention but may prompt users to contact their healthcare provider based on logged data. It is not a standalone therapy or a substitute for medication. Healthcare providers use the patient's progress and self-reported data to inform clinical decision-making. The device aims to provide secondary benefit by supporting adherence to diabetes management behaviors.

Clinical Evidence

Prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label trial (n=726; 668 analyzed). Intervention (n=325) used BT-001 + standard of care (SOC); control (n=343) used SOC. Primary endpoint: mean change in HbA1c from baseline at Day 90. Results: ITT population Day 90 HbA1c change was -0.27% (BT-001) vs 0.14% (control); Day 180 change was -0.37% (BT-001) vs -0.07% (control). Differences were statistically significant (p<0.0001). Adverse events were similar between groups; four events (tachycardia, thirst, pollakiuria, increased HbA1c) were possibly/probably device-related.

Technological Characteristics

Software-only device (mobile application) running on Android smartphones. Architecture includes smartphone App, Web Server, and Admin web application. Connectivity via APIs. No physical materials or energy sources. Cybersecurity controls include authentication and password retrieval.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients 18 years or older with type 2 diabetes under the care of a healthcare provider. Contraindicated for individuals with unstable psychiatric disorders.

### Study Sample Size

The sample size was calculated assuming a two-sided, two-sample t-test would be used to compare the difference in mean change from baseline in HbA1c between the intervention and control arm assuming a common standard deviation for both groups. The assumed common standard deviation of 1.4% and a clinically significant difference in means of 0.4% were used to determine that a nominal sample size, with 90% power, was 259 subjects per treatment group. However, the Applicant also considered a 20% attrition rate and thus calculated a sample size of 324 subjects per group.

### Pivotal Study Safety Results:

Better Therapeutics defined adverse events as follows:

- Any abnormal laboratory test result (e.g., hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) or . other abnormal safety assessment (e.g., electrocardiogram, radiological scan, vital sign

{5}------------------------------------------------

measurement), that worsens from baseline and is considered clinically significant in the medical and scientific judgement of the investigator

- . Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition, including either an increase in frequency and/or intensity of the condition
- New conditions that are identified or diagnosed after the study treatment was . administered, even if those conditions may have been present prior to the start of the study
- . Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected drug-drug interaction
- . Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of a concomitant medication. Overdose per se was not reported as an AE or serious adverse event (SAE) unless it was an intentional overdose taken with possible suicidal/self-harming intent. Such overdoses were to be reported regardless of sequelae.
- . "Lack of efficacy" or "failure of expected physiological action" per se were not to be reported as an AE or SAE. Such instances were captured in the efficacy assessments. However, the signs, symptoms, and/or clinical sequelae, resulting from lack of efficacy, were reported as an AE or SAE, if they fulfilled the definition of an AE or SAE

Better Therapeutics defined adverse events that occurred after the onboarding of the study as treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE).

A summary of the number of subjects with reportable TEAEs observed during the study (postrandomization) is provided in the following table:

| | Post - Randomization, Days 1-180 | | | |
|--------------------------|----------------------------------|-------------|-------------------|-------------|
| | Control<br>n = 343 | | BT-001<br>n = 325 | |
| | Subjects<br>n (%) | Events<br>n | Subjects<br>n (%) | Events<br>n |
| TEAE | 188 (55) | 324 | 135 (42) | 265 |
| Maximum Severity of TEAE | | | | |
| Mild | 117 (34) | 219 | 100 (31) | 215 |
| Moderate | 55 (16) | 87 | 30 (9) | 45 |
| Severe | 16 (5) | 18 | 5 (2) | 5 |
| Serious TEAE | 24 (7) | 26 | 9 (3) | 9 |

Table 1. Adverse Events by Study Treatment Group

The sponsor also provided their assessment of TEAEs that were adjudicated as being possibly or probably associated with intervention. The sponsor reported that four (4) TEAEs in three subjects were adjudicated to be possibly or probably related to use of BT-001 during the study. These events included tachycardia, thirst, pollakiuria, and increasing HbA Ic.

PHQ-9 scores were tracked throughout the study to evaluate the risks of worsening depression and suicidal ideation. Participants with scores ≥20 were excluded or discontinued from the study. Table 2 shows PHQ-9 scores that resulted in study discontinuation.

For the intervention group the magnitude of A1c reduction was not uniform across the participants. Participants that completed more lessons through device use observed greater reductions in % A 1 c from baseline at both day 90 and day 180. A post-hoc analysis of the data is shown in Table 4 where a range of completed lessons has a corresponding % A1c reduction.

| >20 at day 180; n=87 | -0.61 | 1.14 |

The second variable that correlated with differences in the magnitude of A 1c reduction was whether subjects had additional medical visits outside of the pre-planned visits for the study. The participants in the intervention group who had additional medical visits with a healthcare provider observed greater reductions in Alc compared to intervention group participants who did not have an additional medical visit with a healthcare provider. The data is shown in Table 5 with standard deviations.

# Pediatric Extrapolation:

In this De Novo request, existing clinical data were not leveraged to support the use of the device in a pediatric patient population.

# LABELING

{8}------------------------------------------------

Device labeling includes the device indications for use, a description of the device, warnings and precautions, a summary of the clinical testing with the device, and instructions for use of the device. The labeling is sufficient and satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR 801.109 Prescription Devices.

Per the special controls for this generic type of device, labeling includes a summary of the clinical testing with the device and certain limiting statements. The labeling includes the following statements to meet the special controls:

- . The device is not intended for use as a standalone therapy.
- . The device is not a substitute for a patient's prescribed therapy or medication.
- . The device should not be used by people with unstable psychiatric disorders.
- The device is not intended for use in the treatment of any psychiatric disorder or . symptoms.
- . Among those assigned to the device, the average change in %HbA Ic observed in the clinical study was -0.27 compared to baseline after 90 days, and -0.37% compared to baseline after 180 days.
- After 90 days of device use, while 179 patients (60%) saw numerically improved ー :: glycemic control (%HbA1c decreased compared to baseline), there were 118 patients (40%) who saw no change or numerically worsened glycemic control (%HbA1c increased compared to baseline). In comparison, 136 patients (43%) in the control group saw HbA1c improvement and 177 (57%) saw no change or worsened glycemic control. These differences between the device and control group were statistically significant (p<0.0001).
- -After 180 days of device use, while 159 patients (65%) saw numerically improved glycemic control after 180 days of device use (%HbAlc decreased compared to baseline), there were 85 patients (35%) who saw no change or numerically worsened glycemic control (%HbA lc increased compared to baseline). In comparison, 122 patients (45%) in the control group saw HbAlc improvement and 149 (55%) saw no change or worsened glycemic control. These differences between the device and control group were statistically significant (p<0.0001).
- . In the clinical study with the device, observed reduction in HbA1c was correlated with increased usage of the BT-001 app. In addition, for patients that used the BT-001 app. those with additional medical visits to a health care provider had average HbA1c reductions of -0.40% at day 90 and -0.38% at day 180. In comparison, patients in the control group with additional medical visits had an average HbA 1c increase of +0.06% at day 90 and average reduction of -0.07% at day 180. The difference between groups was -0.46% at day 90 and -0.31% at day 180. Patients without additional medical visits who used the BT-001 app had average HbA1c reductions of -0.05% at day 90, and an average increase of +0.01% at day 180. In comparison, patients in the control group without additional medical visits had an average HbA1c increase of +0.27% at day 90 and +0.17% at day 180. The difference between groups was -0.32% at day 90 and -0.16% at day 180.

{9}------------------------------------------------

- . Patients who used the BT-001 app were financially compensated for taking frequent blood glucose measurements, whereas patients who used a control app were treated according to standard of care. Patients who used a control app did not take study-directed blood glucose measurements, thus their compensation was not associated with blood glucose measurements. Total compensation was equal for subjects who used the BT-001 app and those who did not use the app.
### RISKS TO HEALTH

The table below identifies the risks to health that may be associated with use of a diabetes digital behavioral therapeutic device and the measures necessary to mitigate these risks.

| Risks to Health | Mitigation Measures |

| Ineffective treatment due to use error /<br>improper use of device / device software<br>failure | Certain labeling information, including<br>certain limiting statements |

### SPECIAL CONTROLS

In combination with the general controls of the FD&C Act, the diabetes digital behavioral therapeutic device is subject to the following special controls:

- (1) Design verification and validation must include documentation of:
- (i) Clinical data from a statistically and clinically justified sample size, fulfilling the following:
- (A) Appropriately validating the model of therapy as implemented by the device using a clinically defined endpoint, and
- (B) Demonstrating that use of the device does not adversely impact the health outcomes or health status of the intended use population. A device hazard analysis must consider all device-related adverse events observed from the clinical data collected and must demonstrate that patient risk from use of the device is minimal.

{10}------------------------------------------------

- (ii) Software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must demonstrate that the device performs as intended.
- (2) The labeling must include:
- (i) A summary of the clinical testing with the device, including a discussion of the limitations of the clinical significance of the results.
- (ii) Limiting statements that indicate:
- (A) The device is not intended for use as a standalone therapy.
- (B) The device is not a substitute for a patient's prescribed therapy or medication.
- (C) The device should not be used by people with unstable psychiatric disorders.
- (D) The device is not intended for use in the treatment of any psychiatric disorder or symptoms.

# BENEFIT-RISK DETERMINATION

### Summary of Benefits:

The probable benefits of the device are related to supporting user behaviors to better adhere to known diabetes management skills. The benefits of the device are based on data collected in a clinical study described above. On average, study subjects who used BT-001 experienced a reduction in %A1c of -0.37 compared to an average reduction of -0.07 in the control group at day 180 (ITT population).

Factors that increase uncertainty in determining probable benefits for BT-001 include:

- . Improvement in %A1c was not uniform across study subjects who used BT-001. While an average improvement of -0.37 from baseline was observed at day 180 for BT-001 users, the range of %A1c change from baseline was (-4.40, 5.95) with a standard deviation of 1.36. While 159 patients (65%) saw numerically improved glycemic control after 180 days of device use (%HbA 1c decreased compared to baseline), there were 85 patients (35%) who saw no change or numerically worsened glycemic control (%HbAlc increased compared to baseline). In comparison, 122 patients (45%) in the control group saw HbA1c improvement and 149 (55%) saw no change or worsened glycemic control. As a result, there is moderate residual uncertainty regarding whether a particular user of BT-001 will experience improvement of glycemic control following device use.
- . The magnitude of the Alc reduction may be dependent on various factors, including adjustment and adherence to glycemic control medications, adherence to device use, frequency of medical visits, and adherence to other standard of care treatments such as frequent blood glucose monitoring.

- . The clinical study was limited to 6 months (180 days) in duration. As a result, the durability of the treatment effect is unclear. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition and clinical benefit is only expected from sustained improvement in %A1c over the long term.
- . There were patients that missed the day 90 and day 180 study visits where measurements of %A1c were made for evaluation of device efficacy. The number of BT-001 users with missing %A1c measurements was 28/325 (8.6%) at day 90 and 81/325 (25%) at day 180 in the treatment group (ITT population).
- . Patients who used the BT-001 app were financially compensated for taking frequent blood glucose measurements, whereas patients who used a control app were treated according to standard of care. Patients who used a control app did not take study-directed blood glucose measurements, thus their compensation was not associated with blood glucose measurements. Total compensation was equal for subjects who used the BT-001 app and those who did not use the app.

# Summary of Risks:

The probable risks of the device are based on data collected in a clinical study described above. Specifically:

- . Types of adverse events observed during the study were similar between groups, with BT-001 users experiencing numerically fewer events overall compared to the control group.
- . There were four (4) adverse events in three (3) subjects reported during the study that were judged to be possibly device-related, one of which was for worsening of glycemic control. In the observed case of worsening glycemic control, the subject only opened 1 lesson in BT-001 prior to day 90. and self-reported non-compliance with prescribed medication. Tachycardia reported by one subject was associated with increased physical activity as part of the BT-001 program. Pollakiuria and thirst were reported by one subject who had completed 26 lessons in BT-001.
- . Overall, device-related adverse events were not serious, and the rate and deeree of adverse events was not worse than those experienced by subjects in the control group.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy is associated with a class-effect risk of worsening . depression and suicidality. BT-001 users experienced numerically fewer of such events overall compared to the control group.

As described above, there were several factors that increased the uncertainty in determining the probable benefits that a patient is expected to experience from using the BT-001 device. Notably, 35% of patients using BT-001 saw either no change or worsening glycemic control after 180

{12}------------------------------------------------

days of use. However, given that the rate of no change or worsening glycemic control was observed to be higher in the control group (where 55% of patients saw no change or worsening control), and there were numerically fewer adverse events in the BT-001 group, it appears that the device may offer limited secondary benefit compared to standard of care alone.

# PATIENT PERSPECTIVES

The clinical study described above included use of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) as a patient-reported outcome to evaluate the presence and severity of depression. PHQ-9 scores were evaluated at baseline and throughout the study. PHQ-9 scores of ≥20 or reported suicidal ideation were exclusion criteria for the study and subjects reporting a score of ≥20 or suicidal ideation at days 90 or 180 were removed from the study.

At baseline, PHQ-9 scores were similar between the two treatment arms (2.5 ± 2.9 in the Control group versus 2.6 ± 3.0 in the BT-001 group). At Day 90, 3 subjects in the Control group and 1 subject in the BT-001 group had scores ≥20 and were withdrawn from the study. At Day 180, 2 subjects in the Control group and 1 subject in the BT-001 group had scores >20.

### BENEFIT/RISK CONCLUSION

In conclusion, given the available information above, for the following indication statement:

BT-001 is a prescription-only digital therapeutic device intended to provide cognitive behavioral therapy to patients 18 years or older with type 2 diabetes. The device targets behavior to aid in the management of type 2 diabetes in patients who are under the care of a healthcare provider. BT-001 provides cognitive behavioral therapy as a treatment that should be used adjunctively with standard of care.

The probable benefits outweigh the probable risks for the BT-001 device. The device provides benefits and the risks can be mitigated by the use of general controls and the identified special controls.

### CONCLUSION

The De Novo request for the BT-001 is granted and the device is classified as follows:
