The Agili-C™ scaffold is indicated for the treatment of an International Cartilage Repair Society grade III or above knee-joint surface lesion(s), with a total treatable area of 1-7cm², without severe osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 0-3).
Device Story
Agili-C™ is a cell-free, off-the-shelf, bi-phasic scaffold composed of porous, biocompatible, biodegradable aragonite (calcium carbonate) derived from coral exoskeleton. Used for cartilage and osteochondral repair in traumatic and osteoarthritic joints. Implanted via arthrotomy; requires drilling to create an implantation site. Device provides a structural matrix for tissue regeneration. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings. Output is the physical scaffold which integrates into the defect site; clinical success measured by patient-reported outcomes (KOOS scores) and MRI defect fill. Benefits include improved pain, function, and cartilage regeneration compared to surgical standard of care (debridement/microfracture).
Clinical Evidence
Pivotal prospective, multicenter, randomized, 2-arm controlled IDE trial (N=251) comparing Agili-C™ to surgical standard of care (SSOC). Primary endpoint: change in KOOS Overall Score at 24 months. Results: Agili-C™ superior to SSOC (posterior probability 1.000). Mean improvement 42.65 vs 21.39. Confirmatory secondary endpoints (KOOS Pain, QoL, ADL, responder rate) also met superiority criteria. 88.5% of Agili-C™ subjects achieved ≥75% defect fill at 24 months vs 30.9% for SSOC. Safety profile favorable; lower AE and treatment failure rates (7.2% vs 21.4%) compared to SSOC.
Technological Characteristics
Bi-phasic, porous, biodegradable scaffold made of natural aragonite (calcium carbonate) from coral exoskeleton. Dimensions: 7.5-15mm diameter, 10mm length. Gamma sterilized per ISO 11137:2015. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1:2018. Standalone implant; no software or electronic components.

VI. ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES
There are several other alternatives for the correction of above knee-joint surface lesion(s), which may include non-operative and operative treatments.
Non-operative treatment options include the use of knee and leg braces, use of pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medicines, injections, hot/cold temperature baths, and limitation of activities.
Surgical treatment options for this indication include:
- Articular cartilage stimulation: drilling or micro-fracture of the subchondral bone. These are surgeries designed to disrupt the subchondral bone to stimulate new tissue formation.
- Debridement: a surgical procedure designed to clean out the joint and remove tissue that may be torn or detached.
- Osteochondral autograft transfer: a surgery that involves harvesting tissue from minimal weight-bearing areas of another joint in the patient’s body and transplanting it to replace existing defects in weight-bearing areas of the knee.
- Osteochondral allograft transfer: involves harvesting grafts from external donors (e.g., cadavers).
- Autologous chondrocyte implantation: involves placement of patient’s cultured chondrocytes in the articular cartilage defect. The procedure requires 2 surgeries: first for the biopsy and a second for implantation.
- Joint arthroplasty: either a total or partial replacement of the knee joint with metallic implants.
Each alternative has its own advantages and disadvantages. A patient should fully discuss these alternatives with his/her physician to select the method that best meets expectations and lifestyle.

2. CLN0002 – “Evaluation of the Agili-C™ Bi-phasic Implant Performances in the Repair of Cartilage and Osteochondral Defects”
In this Multi-Center, Prospective, Non-Randomized, Open-Label, Single Group Assignment trial, 53 patients were implanted with the Agili-C™ implant at 7 European centers, with 24 months follow-up.
3. CLN0019 – “Agili-C™ Implant Performance Evaluation in the Repair of Cartilage and Osteochondral Defects”
In this Multi-Center, Prospective, Non-Randomized, Open-Label, Single Group Assignment trial, 143 subjects were implanted with the Agili-C™ at 8 European centers, with 24 months follow-up.
Previous generation Agili-C™ devices were implanted in the 3 prior non-randomized clinical investigations above. These studies served to help improve the design of the device, including instrumentation. They also provided clinical experience with the device, which informed the design of the pivotal clinical trial. The current generation Agili-C™ device was evaluated in the pivotal trial described below. The primary data supporting this PMA are from the prospective, randomized controlled multi-center IDE trial performed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Agili-C™ device compared to the surgical standard of care treatment of subjects with ICRS grade III or above knee-joint surface lesion(s). A summary of this pivotal clinical trial is presented below.
The applicant performed a clinical study to establish a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of implantation with Agili-C™ for treatment of an ICRS grade III or above knee-joint surface lesion(s), with a total treatable area of 1-7cm², without severe osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 0-3), in the US, Belgium, Italy, Israel, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Serbia under IDE # G160205. Data from this clinical study were the basis for the PMA approval decision. A summary of the clinical study is presented below.
## A. Study Design
Patients were treated between 2017 and 2019. The database for this PMA reflected data collected through September 2021 and included 251 patients. There were 27 investigational sites, 11 in the US and 16 OUS.
The study was a prospective, multicenter, randomized, 2-arm controlled, open-label clinical study. The study enrolled subjects diagnosed with cartilage or osteochondral lesions of the knee (ICRS grade III or greater) with a total treatable area of 1-7cm² without severe osteoarthritis (no Kellgren-Lawrence grade 4). Patients between 21 and 75 years of age who had up to 3 lesions on the femoral condyles or trochlea were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the Agili-C™ device versus the active control group consisting of surgical standard of care (SSOC). Subjects were assigned to their treatment arm using by site, block randomization with variable random block sizes of
PMA P210034: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
8 of 42
{8}
3 and 6. Surgical standard of care consisted of treating each lesion with either debridement or microfracture. Debridement was used for lesion treatment in control patients older than 50 years of age if the lesion was larger than 3cm² or if the patient had arthritis grade greater than Kellgren-Lawrence 1. Debridement was used for lesion treatment in control patients less than or equal to 50 years of age if BOTH the lesion was larger than 3cm² AND the patient had arthritis grade greater than Kellgren-Lawrence grade 1. Microfracture was used for lesion treatment in control patients older than 50 years of age if BOTH the lesion was less than or equal to 3cm² AND the patient had earlier arthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 0-1). Microfracture was used for lesion treatment in all lesions of control patients less than or equal to 50 years of age unless BOTH the lesion was greater than 3cm² AND the patient had more advanced arthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 2-3). Up to 3 lesions could be treated in the index knee. In the device arm, up to 3 Agili-C™ devices could be used to treat each lesion in the index knee, with the objective of achieving >80% lesion coverage.
The adaptive trial design allowed a minimum of 250 subjects and up to a maximum number of 500 subjects to be randomized, with interim analyses that allowed for early stopping of the trial for futility, or for early stopping of enrollment, but continuing follow-up, for expected success. The interim analyses were conducted by an independent statistician and reviewed by an Endpoint Adjudication Committee.
The primary goal of the trial was to demonstrate superiority of the Agili-C™ device relative to SSOC using Bayesian analysis. The trial would be considered a success if the posterior probability exceeds 0.98 at the final analysis.

B. Accountability of PMA Cohort
At the time of database lock, of 251 patients enrolled in the PMA study, 95.6% (240) patients are available for analysis at the completion of the study, the 24 month post-operative visit (final visit evaluated for safety and effectiveness as the basis for the PMA submission).
Safety Analysis Set – 251 subjects: The safety analysis set includes N=167 subjects randomized and receiving Agili-C™ and N=84 subjects randomized and receiving SSOC.
Full Analysis Set (FAS) – 247 subjects: The FAS includes N=164 subjects randomized and receiving treatment with Agili-C™ and N=83 subjects randomized and receiving SSOC. 3 subjects were excluded in the Agili-C™ group and 1 in the SSOC group due to major entry violations.
Per Protocol (PP) Analysis Set – 246 subjects: There were no additional exclusions compared to the FAS due to a major protocol violation. There was 1 subject in the study, from the Agili-C™ arm, who withdrew consent prior to the 12 Month visit and did not perform the 12 Month visit. Therefore, the PP analysis set includes N=163 subjects randomized and receiving Agili-C™ and N=83 subjects randomized and receiving SSOC. Thus, all comparisons are nearly the same for the FAS and the PP analysis set.

## D. Safety and Effectiveness Results
### 1. Safety Results
Agili-CTM demonstrated a favorable safety profile in the pivotal study compared to the SSOC. Importantly, among the pre-specified adverse events summarized below
PMA P210034: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{19}
in Table 14 occurred in 23.4% of Agili-C™ patients in the pivotal study, compared to 50.0% of SSOC patients. Moreover, the rates of any AE, serious AE, and treatment failure were lower in Agili-C™ compared to SSOC.
The analysis of safety was based on the safety cohort of 251 total subjects treated (167 randomized and treated Agili-C™ subjects, and 84 SSOC subjects).
Adverse effects are reported in Tables 13 to 16. Treatment failures are presented below in Tables 17 to 18.
## Adverse effects that occurred in the PMA clinical study
The overall adverse event ("AE") rate was lower for the Agili-C™ group (58.7%) compared to the SSOC group (77.4%). At least 1 Severe AE was present in 9.6% of the Agili-C™ subjects compared to 20.2% in SSOC subjects, and at least 1 Serious AE was present in 15.6% of the Agili-C™ subjects compared to 20.2% of SSOC subjects. Overall, adverse event (AE) rates were lower for Agili-C™ subjects compared to SSOC subjects.

Table 16 presents the incidence rates and event counts of serious AEs. Group differences were negative (favoring Agili-CTM) or similar between groups. The most common serious AEs in the Agili-CTM group were COVID-19 (n=4, 2.4%), contusion (n=3, 1.8%), “increased transient or chronic pain in the operated joint, compared to baseline” (n=2, 1.2%), and arthralgia (n=2, 1.2%). The rate of “increased transient or chronic pain in the operated joint, compared to baseline” was substantially lower in the Agili-CTM arm compared to the SSOC group (n=7, 8.3%).
There were no unanticipated serious adverse device effects (USADEs).

# Treatment Failures
Treatment failures, including relatedness to the device or procedure, are summarized below in Tables 17 and 18. In the safety analysis set, 12 of 167 (7.2%) Agili-CTM subjects and 18 of 84 (21.4%) SSOC subjects experienced a treatment failure based on the prespecified definition of treatment failure (for both treatment groups: any secondary invasive intervention in the treated joint, regardless if related or unrelated to the original treatment; for Agili-CTM group only: failure to implant the device, unless patient was contraindicated) in the study protocol. The treatment group difference was statistically significant according to an unadjusted chi-square test $(p = 0.002)$ . 4of the treatment failures in the Agili-CTM group were due to knee trauma (zero in the SSOC group), while four of the treatment failures in the SSOC group were due to knee replacements and osteotomies (zero in the Agili-CTM group).
Among subjects with mild to moderate osteoarthritis (OA), $27.8\%$ of the subjects in the SSOC group were treatment failures compared to $5.3\%$ in the Agili-CTM group. A similarly high failure rate was noted in SSOC subjects with large lesions $(22.0\%$ of the subjects), compared to $5.1\%$ in the Agili-CTM group.

## Device Removals
The rate of treatment failures was 21.4% (n=18) in the SSOC arm and 7.2% (n=12) in the Agili-CTM arm. Among the 12 treatment failures in the Agili-CTM arm, 8 cases included a device removal (4.8%, 8/167). Of the 8 implant removal cases, five removals (representing 3% of the subjects in the study group) occurred due to knee trauma or subjects overdoing exercise early in the post-implantation period.
## 2. Effectiveness Results
The analysis of effectiveness was based on the 237 evaluable patients at the 24-month time point. Key effectiveness outcomes are presented in Tables 19 to 28.
The Bayesian analysis results for KOOS Overall (primary endpoint) and the KOOS subscales (confirmatory secondary endpoints and secondary endpoints) at 24 Months are summarized below in Table 19. Agili-CTM's performance was both statistically significant and clinically meaningful across all KOOS endpoints. As discussed in more detail below, results across the other secondary analyses, as well as sensitivity and covariate analyses, were similarly favorable. Thus, study success was established by meeting the primary endpoint and all secondary confirmatory endpoints, and was confirmed to be robust across several secondary analyses.

# Primary Endpoint Results
The primary endpoint was assessed as the change from baseline to 24 months in the average KOOS Overall Score in the Full Analysis Set (FAS) to evaluate the superiority of the Agili-CTM compared to the SSOC. The mean of the posterior distribution for changes from baseline to Month 24 in the KOOS Overall Score for subjects randomized to Agili-CTM was 42.65 (39.55, 45.54). For subjects randomized to SSOC, the mean of the posterior distribution was 21.39 (17.35, 25.71). The mean (95% credible interval) of the posterior distribution for the group difference (Agili-CTM minus SSOC) in change from baseline to Month 24 in the KOOS Overall Score was 21.27 (16.17, 26.60) (Table 19).
Based on these results, the posterior probability of superiority was determined to be 1.000. Since $1.000 > 0.98$ , the null hypothesis is rejected, and these results demonstrate that the Agili-CTM is superior to SSOC in terms of improvements from baseline to Month 24 in KOOS Overall Score.

A Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) was applied to changes in KOOS Overall Score over time for both the Agili-CTM and SSOC groups. The mean changes for each group and the group difference in mean changes (Agili-CTM minus SSOC) separately at every follow-up time period are provided in Table 20. The estimated group difference (95% CI) in mean changes from baseline to Month 24 is 21.35 (16.24, 26.47) and the treatment-by-visit interaction was statistically significant $(p < 0.0001)$ , demonstrating the increasingly larger group differences in mean improvements over time.

# Confirmatory Secondary Endpoint Results
The 4 pre-specified confirmatory secondary endpoints were:
- Change in KOOS Pain score from baseline to Month 24.
- Change in KOOS Quality of Life score from baseline to Month 24.
- Change in KOOS ADL score from baseline to Month 24.
- Response rate at Month 24 defined as an improvement in KOOS Overall Score ≥ 30.
The 4 pre-specified confirmatory secondary endpoints (Table 21) were to be tested in a hierarchical manner in order to control the type 1 error rate. Each of these secondary endpoints required a Bayesian posterior probability greater than 0.975 for declaring superiority. As shown in the summary table below, Agili-CTM demonstrated superiority on each of the confirmatory secondary endpoints.
The KOOS Overall responder rate, percentage of patients who had at least a 30 point gain at 24 months, showed the mean posterior distribution (95% credible interval) for the group difference was 0.443 (0.320, 0.557), corresponding to a 77.8% response rate for Agili-CTM compared to 33.6% for SSOC.

The results of the first confirmatory secondary endpoint, change in KOOS Pain score, from baseline to Month 24, are shown in Table 21. The mean posterior distribution (95% credible interval) for the group difference in KOOS Pain score change was 20.33 (15.37, 25.05). The posterior probability of superiority was 1.000, which is larger than the pre-specified 0.975. Therefore, the Agili-CTM is superior to SSOC from baseline to Month 24 in KOOS Pain score.
## Additional Secondary Endpoint Results
Table 22 summarizes the percentages of defect fill, with MRI analyses performed at Month 12 and at Month 24. In order to preserve the ordinal nature of the categories, group comparisons were performed using a Wilcoxon rank sum test at each time point.

The results of the MRI defect fill demonstrated statistically significant (<0.0001) differences between treatment groups. At 24 months, 88.5% of subjects treated with Agili-CTM had at least 75% defect fill compared to 30.9% among subjects treated with SSOC. Moreover, only 1.3% of the Agili-CTM subjects had less than 50% defect fill at 24 Months, compared to 50% in the SSOC group.
The change from baseline in the International Knee Documentation Committee ("IKDC") score was evaluated at 12, 18, and 24 months, as shown in Table 23. The group differences (95% CI) in mean change values increased from 12.0 (6.5, 17.5) at Month 12, to 16.3 (10.7, 21.9) at Month 18, and to 22.7 (16.8, 28.6) at Month 24.

As shown in the table above, the IKDC change from baseline in the Agili-CTM group was 24.0±18.8 at 6 months, 32.5±20.6 at 12 months, 38.1±20.8 at 18 months, and 43.0±21.2 at 24 months. These results show that the IKDC scores are substantially higher than a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of 16.7 at each timepoint, demonstrating that these patients reported clinically significant improvements in symptoms and function in daily living activities. These results are consistent with the improvement in KOOS assessed as the primary endpoint.
The change from baseline in the Tegner Score was evaluated at 12, 18, and 24 months, as shown in Table 24. The Tegner Score is a patient reported outcome that provides a standardized method for determining the patient's level of activity before and after a knee injury. The group differences (95% CI) in mean change values
