Indications for Use
The Cartiva Synthetic Cartilage Implant is intended for use in the treatment of patients with painful degenerative or post-traumatic arthritis (hallux limitus or hallux rigidus) in the first metatarsophalangeal joint with or without the presence of mild hallux valgus
Device Story
Cartiva SCI is a molded, cylindrical, viscoelastic hydrogel implant composed of polyvinyl alcohol and saline. It is designed to replace focal areas of damaged cartilage in the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint. The device is implanted via a minimally invasive, press-fit procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons. It functions as a bearing surface to reduce pain and maintain joint range of motion, serving as an alternative to arthrodesis (joint fusion). The device does not regrow or replace native cartilage. Healthcare providers assess patient outcomes post-operatively through pain (VAS) and function (FAAM) scores. By preserving joint motion, the device aims to provide a faster recovery and maintain the option for future surgical interventions compared to fusion.
Clinical Evidence
Pivotal prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center MOTION study (n=202). Compared Cartiva SCI to arthrodesis. Primary endpoint: composite of VAS pain reduction (≥30%), FAAM ADL function maintenance, freedom from major complications/SSSI, and radiographic success at 24 months. Results: 79.8% Cartiva success vs 78.7% arthrodesis (mITT completers). Non-inferiority met (LB 95% CI -10.29%). Secondary endpoints showed arthrodesis had greater pain reduction, while Cartiva maintained joint motion.
Technological Characteristics
Molded cylindrical hydrogel implant composed of polyvinyl alcohol and saline. Two sizes: 8 mm and 10 mm diameter/depth. Press-fit implantation. Instrumentation includes stainless steel Placer, Introducer, and Metatarsal Drill Bit. Sterilized via E-beam radiation (ISO 11137-2). Shelf life 24 months.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients ≥18 years with painful degenerative or post-traumatic arthritis (hallux limitus or hallux rigidus) of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, with or without mild hallux valgus (≤20°). Contraindicated in patients with active foot infection, polyvinyl alcohol allergy, inadequate bone stock (avascular necrosis, large osteochondral cysts >1 cm), lesions >10 mm, gout with tophi, or conditions eliminating implant support (e.g., cancer, osteoporosis, systemic metabolic bone disorders).

# V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Cartiva SCI device is a polymer-based biomaterial implant for treatment of first metatarsophalangeal joint osteoarthritis. The viscoelastic hydrogel implant's material properties are conducive to replacing focal areas of damaged cartilage, providing pain reduction, and maintaining range of motion. The Cartiva SCI device does not regrow or replace cartilage. The device is intended as an alternative to fusion procedures, hereafter referred to as arthrodesis.
The device is a molded cylindrical implant composed of polyvinyl alcohol and saline that is placed into the metatarsal head in the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint via press-fit implantation. This biocompatible material is widely used in other FDA cleared and approved medical devices, such as contact lenses, permanently implanted injectable embolic spheres, and nerve cuffs. The Cartiva SCI device is implanted during a short and minimally invasive implantation procedure that allows for faster recovery, preservation of joint function compared to the surgical fusion of the MTP joint, and preserves the option for future surgical treatment in the event of complications.

# B. MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION TESTING
A summary of the mechanical characterization testing of the Cartiva SCI device is presented below in Table 3.
Table 3: Mechanical Characterization Testing of the Cartiva SCI Device
| Test | Purpose | Results |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Confined Compression (aggregate modulus) | To characterize the aggregate moduli or stiffness at equilibrium. | The mean aggregate modulus for the Cartiva SCI device was 6.7 ±1.0 MPa. This value supported selection of wear test parameters. |
PMA P150017: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{6}
| Test | Purpose | Results |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Unconfined Compression (Young's modulus) | To characterize the deformation resistance of the device to an applied load and determine the compatibility with surrounding native tissues. | The compressive moduli and equilibrium elastic moduli observed for the Cartiva SCI device was (0.31 to 0.80 unconfined compression moduli3; equilibrium elastic moduli mean .677 ± .223 MPa4), which is less than traditional hard joint replacement materials. |
| Shear | To obtain a baseline characterization of the simple shear properties as the device functions as a cartilage replacement material. | Fatigued devices exhibited no change in shear properties and resistance to mechanically induced degradation properties. All devices exhibited full 100% lateral shear strain without tearing or showing shear fracture. |
| Creep | To characterize the creep and creep recovery responses of the device under clinical loading conditions. | The compressive creep observed was due to water loss with compressive loading, which resulted in an average mass loss of 21% across all samples. Under clinical loading, the device still had sufficient mass to serve as a bearing surface for the joint. All samples demonstrated significant recovery swelling upon the removal of the compressive load, as anticipated for a porelastic hydrogel material and thus is expected to tolerate clinical loading and unloading of the joint. |
| Dynamic Axial Compression (S-N Analysis) | To determine the fatigue endurance limit of the device (the maximum axial compression stress amplitude that will not cause fatigue failure in 5,000,000 cycles). | This study demonstrates that catastrophic failure of the Cartiva SCI device does not occur even when the device is subjected to stresses approximately 6 times greater than the 4 MPa anticipated peak load for the first MTP. |
| Particulate Implant Testing | To assess the bioreactivity of device-generated wear debris. | Wear debris representing 5 years of expected debris was implanted in a rabbit model. There were no complications on injection. No test article-related adverse changes occurred. No significant findings on clinical observation, gross pathology, histomorphometry, or histopathology of localized tissue. Systemic tissues showed no microscopic changes related to the treatment. Overall, no local or systemic response was evident. |

C. PERFORMANCE TESTING
Performance testing was conducted to evaluate the device in simulated clinical use conditions or under simulated worst-case conditions. These are described below:
Fatigue Testing
The purpose of dynamic fatigue testing of the Cartiva SCI device was to assess if the device has adequate compressive strength to survive the repetitive, compressive loads that occur clinically in the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Mechanical fatigue was carried out utilizing the anticipated clinical loading. Cartiva SCI devices withstood the equivalent of 5 years of continual cyclic loading without fracturing, indicating a mechanical durability representing 5 years of continuous use.
Wear Testing
Cartiva SCI devices were subjected to loading parameters reflecting the normal gait cycle and opposing surfaces that were intended to simulate the wear environment of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. The Cartiva SCI devices sustained only minor damage during the 5,000,000 cycles under worst-case wear conditions under maximum loading that simulated 5 years of continuous walking.
To assess the long-term effect of the material and possible wear debris, a worst-case 5-year amount of Cartiva SCI device particulate was injected intra-articularly into the rabbit knee in amounts 9 times greater than that identified during wear testing. The test conditions applied incorporated the use of excessive quantities of potential wear debris in a bolus application. The rabbit particulate implant study demonstrated a lack of local or systemic toxicity to the Cartiva SCI device particulate at both 3-months and 6-months. The particulate implant testing results demonstrated no toxic or adverse reactions to the wear debris from the hydrogel material.
The average total mass of debris collected per specimen over the 5 million cycles was 1.64 mg (0.18% of average initial mass of the test articles) based on the worst-case assumption that all of the debris was of Cartiva device origin. The morphology of the particulate recovered was generally granular, oval in shape and with average aspect ratios < 1.8. The associated volumetric wear rate was determined to be 0.53 mm³/yr. The amount of wear produced under these testing parameters indicates a low rate of wear compared with other polymers utilized in bearing surfaces of orthopedic implants. However, the threshold wear rate to induce osteolysis in the vicinity of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is unknown.
One-Year Animal Implant Study
A one-year animal implant study was conducted in accordance with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) in a load-bearing large animal model (goat). The intent of the study was to evaluate the integrity of the implanted device after 1 year and to assess local and systemic toxicity of the Cartiva SCI device, as well as to, determine whether the implants elicit any inflammatory
PMA P150017: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{8}
reaction in a load-bearing environment. The test animals received Cartiva SCI devices while the controls received empty defects. Both groups were followed out to one year with an interim assessment at six months. The surgical procedure was well tolerated by all animals. There were no obvious differences observed between the two groups following necropsy. There were no instances of device failure, such as dislodgement or fragmentation. There were non-significant changes to the opposing tibial surface in both groups. No differences in presence of subarticular cysts between test animals that received Cartiva SCI device, as compared to the control, were observed. No implant wear and no particulate migration were observed. The results of the study demonstrated that there was no local or systemic toxicity, no ongoing chronic inflammatory reaction around the implant, and no osteolytic bone loss.
## Conclusion
These data fully characterize the mechanical properties and performance of the device in simulated clinical use conditions or under simulated worst-case conditions.

## X. SUMMARY OF CLINICAL STUDIES
This PMA presents data from a prospective, randomized, controlled multi-center clinical trial performed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Cartiva SCI device compared to arthrodesis for the treatment of subjects with painful degenerative or post-traumatic arthritis (hallux limitus or hallux rigidus) involving the first metatarsophalangeal joint, with or without the presence of mild hallux valgus. A summary of the clinical trial is presented below.
## A. STUDY DESIGN
The pivotal clinical study (the "MOTION" Study) compared the Cartiva SCI device to the control treatment, arthrodesis. The study was a prospective, randomized (2:1), multi-center, two arm, unmasked, concurrently controlled, non-inferiority clinical study in 202 subjects treated at 12 sites in the United Kingdom and Canada. The study was conducted in compliance with ICH guidelines and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All sites had Ethics Approval and subjects were required to sign an Informed Consent in compliance with 21 CFR Part 50 and ICH guidelines. Subjects were treated between October 2009 and February 2013. The database for this PMA reflected data collected through February 2015 and was updated with a retrospective analysis of peri-operative data in October 2015.
The study employed a composite primary endpoint that reflected three outcomes (pain, function, and safety). The individual components of the primary outcome measures were a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to assess pain, the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) to assess function, and the absence of major complications and subsequent surgical interventions to assess safety.
PMA P150017: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{10}
This was a frequentist, non-inferiority study with a pre-specified endpoint of the proportion of subjects achieving success (i.e., meeting all criteria of the primary composite endpoint) and a non-inferiority margin of 15%. The statistical model for this endpoint was two independent binomial proportions.
Letting $p_{\text{Cartiva}}$ and $p_{\text{Fusion}}$ represent the proportions with 24-month success for the Cartiva SCI device and arthrodesis groups, respectively, and $\delta = 0.15$ being the non-inferiority margin, the statistical hypotheses for the pre-specified primary endpoint were:
$$
\begin{array}{l}
\mathrm{H}_0: \mathrm{p}_{\text{Cartiva}} - \mathrm{p}_{\text{Fusion}} \leq -\delta \\
\mathrm{H}_a: \mathrm{p}_{\text{Cartiva}} - \mathrm{p}_{\text{Fusion}} > -\delta \\
\end{array}
$$
These statistical hypotheses were assessed via one-sided 95% confidence intervals on the difference in the proportion of responders in the Cartiva group minus the proportion of responders in the arthrodesis group, see Table 27 for details regarding the definition of a "responder".
In addition to the outcomes comprising the primary composite endpoint, other functional and quality-of-life outcomes scores were studied, and included active MTP dorsiflexion, Revised Foot Function Index (FFI-R), and SF-36 Physical Function Scores. Fisher's Exact test was used to calculate all p-values.
The initial two subjects enrolled and treated at each site were not randomized to ensure surgeons were adequately familiar with the procedure.
Upon confirmation of eligibility, subjects were randomized into one of two treatment groups: (1) Cartiva SCI device into the MTP joint, or (2) arthrodesis, a procedure in which the two sides of the MTP joint are held together with plates and/or screws so that the bones grow together and no longer move.
The investigators, who were fellowship-trained and board-certified orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons, performed clinical and radiographic assessments in accordance with the protocol to monitor subject outcomes. A radiographic assessment was performed by an independent core lab with an independent radiologist who assessed subjects in both treatment arms according to a pre-specified protocol.

## Clinical Endpoints
The effectiveness of the Cartiva SCI device was assessed and compared to treatment with arthrodesis using a composite clinical endpoint. Success required freedom from subsequent secondary surgical interventions (SSSI), a clinically meaningful reduction in pain (≥30% based on VAS), maintenance in function (FAAM), and a safety component defined as presence versus absence of any of an a priori selected set of device-specific radiographic findings.
The safety of the Cartiva SCI device was assessed by comparison to the arthrodesis control group with respect to the nature and frequency of adverse events (overall and in terms of seriousness and relationship to the implant/procedure), the need for subsequent secondary surgical intervention, and presence versus absence of any of an a priori selected set of radiographic findings.

# Study Protocol Pre-specified Endpoint
The pre-specified primary endpoint of the study was individual subject success defined as follows:
- Improvement (decrease) from baseline in VAS Pain of ≥30% at 12 months;⁵
- Maintenance of function from baseline in FAAM Sports score (inclusive of decrease <9) at 12 months; and,⁶
- Freedom from major complications⁷ and SSSIs through 24 months.
- No radiographic failure, which for each arm is defined separately:
- Cartiva SCI - device displacement, device fragmentation, and/or development of avascular necrosis
- Arthrodesis - mal-union, non-union, and/or hardware failure. The radiographic assessment for non-union and mal-union will only be included from 3 months to 24 months after surgery.
# Revised Primary Endpoint
After review of the data submitted in the PMA, FDA requested additional analysis using a revised primary endpoint. The FDA requested revised endpoint is similar to the pre-specified composite endpoint with the following differences: 1) evaluate all efficacy outcomes at 24 months and 2) evaluate the FAAM ADL subscale instead of the FAAM Sports subscale. There were no changes to the definition of the safety prong.
The revised composite endpoint was defined as follows:
- Improvement (decrease) from baseline in VAS Pain of ≥30% at 24 months;
- Maintenance in function from baseline in FAAM ADL score (inclusive of decrease <8) at 24 months; and,
- Freedom from major complications⁸ and SSSIs through 24 months
- No radiographic failure, which for each arm was defined separately as:
- Cartiva SCI: device displacement, device fragmentation, and/or development of avascular necrosis
⁵ The criterion for the success for pain was based on the work conducted by Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (IMMPACT) consensus group. Dworkin and the IMMPACT consensus group evaluated the level of improvement in pain reported in clinical studies and recommended that a decrease in pain of ≥30% be reported in future clinical trials. This level of response was defined as a clinically important change and represented a moderate level of improvement.
⁶ Martin et al. reported in the validation of the Foot and Ankle Mobility Scale (FAAM) that 9 points was the minimal clinically important difference in the Sports subscale and 8 points in the ADL subscale. The individual success criterion for the function component ensures there is no clinically significant worsening in function in order for subjects to be considered a responder in the primary endpoint.
⁷ Major complications were defined from radiographic findings and were assessed by an independent radiographic reviewer. These included absence of device displacement, device fragmentation, and avascular necrosis in the Cartiva group and the absence of mal-union, non-union, and hardware fractures in the control (arthrodesis) group.
PMA P150017: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{15}
○ Arthrodesis: mal-union, non-union, and/or hardware failure. The radiographic assessment for non-union and mal-union will only be included from 3 months to 24 months after surgery.
The proportion of successes in each group was determined and the difference (Cartiva minus arthrodesis) and one-sided 95% confidence interval for the difference between treatment groups was calculated. If the one-sided 95% lower confidence interval is greater than the equivalence limit (-15%), the primary endpoint will have been met.
## Secondary Endpoints and Assessments
Secondary endpoints, measured in both treatment groups, included VAS Pain scores, FAAM Sports and ADL scores, range of motion as assessed by active MTP peak dorsiflexion, subject satisfaction, SF-36 Physical Functioning Scale, and FFI-R.
Other radiographic findings beyond the assessments included in the primary endpoint analysis were evaluated to determine their effect on subject outcomes.
## B. ACCOUNTABILITY OF PMA COHORT
A total of 236 subjects were enrolled including n=17 subjects who withdrew prior to randomization, n=22 non-randomized roll-in subjects, and 197 randomized subjects (132 to Cartiva SCI device and 65 to arthrodesis). Among randomized subjects, 2 of 132 (1.5%) subjects randomized to the Cartiva SCI device withdrew prior to receiving treatment, as did 15 of 65 (23.1%) subjects randomized to arthrodesis, leaving 130 and 50 subjects, respectively, included in the Cartiva SCI device and arthrodesis mITT analysis set. The primary reason associated with withdrawal prior to treatment (66.7%) were subjects randomized to arthrodesis who wanted the Cartiva SCI device. The total number of treated Cartiva SCI device subjects included in the Safety Analysis was 152 including 22 non-randomized roll-in subjects. A summary of subject accountability data is provided in Figure 2 and Table 6 below.

1The Safety population includes all treated subjects.
2The ITT population includes all randomized subjects. Subjects who dropped out prior to treatment are considered study failures.
3The mITT population includes all randomized subjects who received the treatment to which they were randomized.
4The mITT completers population includes all randomized subjects who received the treatment to which they were randomized and have 24M data available.
5The PP population includes all randomized subjects who received the treatment to which they were randomized with subjects having major inclusion/exclusion deviations excluded.
# C. STUDY POPULATION DEMOGRAPHICS AND BASELINE PARAMETERS
Subject demographics are summarized below in Table 8. These data show that the treatment groups were well balanced and no statistically significant differences were noted. The baseline demographics of the study population are consistent with baseline demographics reported in the literature for hallux rigidus subjects treated with cheilectomy, hemiarthroplasty, and/or arthrodesis. The majority (80%) of the subjects enrolled in the study were females, consistent with the literature that shows that women have a higher incidence of MTP osteoarthritis compared to men. The majority of MOTION subjects treated (77%) presented with angular alignment of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, within a normal range (less than $15^{\circ}$ ) and 23% presented with angular deformity of the first metatarsophalangeal joint between $15^{\circ}-20^{\circ}$ (mild hallux valgus) Table 11.

D. PERI-OPERATIVE INFORMATION
Surgical timing information was available for 112 (74% of treated) Cartiva SCI device subjects and 39 (78% of treated) arthrodesis subjects, and length of anesthesia information was available for 137 (90%) Cartiva SCI device subjects and 44 (88%) arthrodesis subjects (Table 12).
Table 12: Length of Surgical Procedure and Anesthesia (minutes) for the Safety Cohort
| | Cartiva | | | Arthrodesis | | | p-value |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | N | Mean | SD | N | Mean | SD | |
| Procedure Time (minutes) | 112 | 34.7 | 12.3 | 39 | 57.8 | 21.5 | <0.001 |
| Length of Anesthesia (minutes) | 137 | 67.0 | 27.8 | 44 | 95.3 | 41.1 | <0.001 |
The Cartiva SCI device surgical implantation procedure time is, on average, 40% shorter (23 minutes) than arthrodesis. Due to the shorter surgical procedure, as expected, the length of anesthesia administration for Cartiva SCI device subjects was, on average, 28 minutes shorter than that for arthrodesis subjects (p<0.001).
There were no significant differences observed in the type of anesthesia regimen with 92% of subjects in both treatment arms receiving general IV sedation combined with a regional ankle nerve block anesthetic.
E. SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS RESULTS
Safety
The analysis of safety was based on the Safety Cohort of 202 total subjects treated (22 Cartiva SCI device roll-in subjects, 130 randomized and treated Cartiva SCI device subjects, and 50 arthrodesis control subjects).
PMA P150017: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{20}
Adverse events were classified by the Investigator for relationship to the device, severity, and for seriousness of the event. The overall adverse event rate was similar for the Cartiva SCI device group (69.1%) and the arthrodesis control group (72.0%). The majority of the events were mild or moderate in nature as classified by the Investigator for the Cartiva SCI device subjects (86.2%) and arthrodesis control group (78.0%).

From the table above, there are three categories of adverse events for Preferred Term in which the Cartiva SCI device group is greater than or equal to approximately $4\%$ points higher for the number of subjects in the study experiencing these adverse events than compared to the arthrodesis group. These PT categories include: Implant site pain (10.5% vs 0%); Arthralgia (9.9% vs 6.0%); and Pain in the Extremity (6.6% vs 2.0%). Specifically, a higher percentage of Cartiva SCI device subjects had adverse events involving pain. The correlation between subjects with high rates of pain adverse events and primary outcome measures for device effectiveness were seen in 8 out of 16 subjects with device related pain events that were counted as overall successes.
There were two PT categories where the number of subjects experiencing an adverse event was greater in the arthrodesis group: Fracture Non-union (4.0% vs 0%), Medical Device Breakage (2.0% vs 0%), and Medical Device Complications (8.0% vs 0%), which also is defined as including non-union and delayed union for the arthrodesis group.
Among the SOC categories, there are a greater percentage of Cartiva SCI device subjects (15.1% vs 4.0%) who experienced “General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions.” The PT

{26}
categories under this SOC category shows that there were a greater percentage of Cartiva SCI device subject were observed with Implant Site Pain (10.5% vs 0%), Gait Disturbance (1.3% vs 0%), and Implant Site Swelling (1.3% vs 0%).

The verbatim event term for the event device migration in the Cartiva group indicated the device shifted within the implant cavity. The device did not migrate outside of the cavity or dislodge the cavity or joint. This event was not observed by the independent radiographic reviewer and did not correlate to any independent radiographic findings.
## Serious Adverse Events
A summary of the total number of Serious Adverse Events (SAE) is shown in Table 16. To evaluate that Cartiva SCI device is safe, the company collected all adverse event data and had safety data reviewed by the Medical Monitor. A SAE was defined as follows: 1) death or threat to life; or, 2) permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to a body structure; or, 3) an event requiring medical or surgical intervention to preclude permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to a body structure. During the MOTION study, there were a total of 37 SAEs in 30 subjects (19.7%) in the Cartiva SCI device arm and 12 serious adverse events in 9 subjects (18.0%) in the arthrodesis arm.
