Intended Use

The MediBeacon® Transdermal GFR System (TGFR) is intended to assess the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) in adult patients with impaired or normal renal function by noninvasively monitoring fluorescent light emission from an exogenous tracer agent over time. This device has been validated in patients with stable renal function. The MediBeacon® TGFR is not approved for use in patients with GFR <15 ml/min/1.73 m², GFR >120 ml/min/1.73 m², patients on dialysis, or anuric patients. The use of this device in patients with dynamic and rapidly changing renal function has not been validated. This device is not intended to diagnose acute kidney injury (AKI). The MediBeacon® TGFR Sensor and exogenous tracer agent, Lumitrace® injection, are single use and are only used with the MediBeacon® TGFR. The MediBeacon® TGFR Sensor is a single use device intended to attach to the patient's skin and excite fluorescence in Lumitrace® injection, the tracer agent, and measure the returning light intensity. The data is sent to the MediBeacon® TGFR Monitor.

Device Story

System assesses GFR at point-of-care using noninvasive transdermal fluorescence detection. Process: 1) Sensor attaches to upper chest; 2) Lumitrace® (relmapirazin) injected intravenously; 3) Sensor excites tracer with LEDs and measures returning fluorescent light intensity; 4) Monitor digitizes signals, compensates for tissue properties (e.g., blood volume), and calculates renal decay time constant. Output: Average Session GFR (ml/min/1.73m²). Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers. Benefits: avoids radioactive agents/waste; provides measured GFR vs. estimated GFR. Requires IV access and limited patient movement during monitoring.

Clinical Evidence

Pivotal multi-center, open-label study (n=249) compared transdermal GFR (tGFR) to plasma-derived indexed GFR (nGFR). Primary endpoint: P30 (proportion of tGFR within 30% of nGFR). Results: P30 estimate 94.0% (95% CI: 89.4-96.9%), meeting the 85% performance goal. Safety: 10.4% AE rate (mostly mild/moderate, e.g., extravasation, headache); no serious device-related AEs. Bench testing confirmed biocompatibility, electrical safety, and software validation.

Technological Characteristics

System includes: 1) Lumitrace® (relmapirazin) fluorescent tracer; 2) Single-use transdermal sensor (LEDs, photodetectors, medical-grade adhesive); 3) Monitor (data acquisition, processing, GUI). Connectivity: Wired sensor-to-monitor. Software: Proprietary algorithms for fluorescence decay analysis. Sterilization: Aseptic filtration for tracer; sensor is non-sterile. Standards: ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), IEC 60601-1 (electrical safety), IEC 62471 (optical safety), ISO 14971 (risk management).

Indications for Use

Indicated for GFR assessment in adult patients with stable renal function (15-120 ml/min/1.73 m²). Contraindicated in patients on dialysis, anuric patients, or those with dynamic/rapidly changing renal function. Not for AKI diagnosis.

CONTRAINDICATIONS There are no known contraindications. ## IV. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS The warnings and precautions can be found in the MediBeacon® Transdermal GFR System labeling. ## V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The MediBeacon® Transdermal GFR System (TGFR) provides an assessment of GFR at the point of care. Noninvasive transdermal fluorescence detection of the agent clearance rate is converted by the system into GFR indexed by body surface area. The MediBeacon® Transdermal GFR System is comprised of three distinct parts: 1. Lumitrace® (relmapirazin) injection is the novel and proprietary fluorescent tracer agent, intravenously administered to a patient and then subsequently excreted from the body by the kidneys. 2. The MediBeacon® TGFR Sensor contains the light source and photo detector for noninvasively detecting Lumitrace fluorescence transdermally. This sensor is attached to the upper chest using a biocompatible adhesive. This sensor has a built-in cable that connects to the monitor. 3. The MediBeacon® TGFR Monitor provides power to the sensor, digitizes the data acquired from the sensor, contains the algorithms to convert sensor output to GFR (ml/min/1.73m²), and reports GFRs to the clinician.

The rate of decrease in the emitted fluorescence from Lumitrace® injection is automatically calculated and displayed on the monitor (Figure 1). At the completion of a TGFR session, a validated GFR result is displayed as “Average Session GFR.” # A. Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient The active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) used in the MediBeacon TGFR is the compound relmapirazin. The 3,6-diamino-2,5-bis $\{\mathrm{N} - [(1\mathrm{R}) - 1$ -carboxy-2-hydroxyethyl]carbamoyl}pyrazine, is a water-soluble fluorescent tracer agent with a molecular weight of 372.3. In a buffered phosphate solution, the tracer agent is soluble. The chemical structure of relmapirazin is in Figure 2 below. The molecular formula is $\mathrm{C_{12}H_{16}N_6O_8}$ . ![img-1.jpeg](img-1.jpeg) Figure 2: Chemical Structure of Relmapirazin PMA 230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {4} Lumitrace® is provided as a sterile, pyrogen-free, clear orangish solution in a single concentration. Each milliliter of Lumitrace® injection contains 18.6 mg of relmapirazin with a pH adjusted between 7.0 and 7.6 with hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. All solutions are sterilized by sterile filter and contain no preservatives. Unused portions must be discarded. Table 2: Lumitrace® Concentration and Osmolality | Concentration (mg/mL) | Osmolality (mOsm/kg) | | --- | --- | | 18.6 | 275-350 | Lumitrace® has osmolarities from approximately 0.9 to 1.2 times that of plasma (285 mOsm/kg water) as shown in the above table. PMA 230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {5} # B. Principles of Operation The transdermal sensor is first attached to a skin surface, upper chest region, and background fluorescence is gathered by the display monitor for approximately twenty minutes. Lumitrace® is then intravenously administered, and the display monitor continues to acquire fluorescence data as a function of time. Data analysis algorithms in the display monitor convert the acquired signal into a normalized GFR value after Lumitrace® injection administration. The GFR is then updated subsequently until the algorithm detects a fluorescence intensity too low for conversion into an accurate GFR. A validated Average Session GFR value is displayed on the monitor. The transdermal sensor also has components to measure diffusely reflected light, which is used to compensate for local time-varying tissue properties, such as changes in local blood volume. This sensor is intended for a single use on a patient (must be replaced between patients). # VI. ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES Alternate methodologies and the advantages and disadvantages are outlined in Table 3. Table 3: Alternate Methodologies | Alternative Diagnostic Method | Description | Advantages/ Benefits | Disadvantages/ Limitations/ Risks | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Blood testing for creatinine, and/or blood urea nitrogen | Quantification of endogenous markers such as creatinine, or urea nitrogen in the blood is used to estimate GFR. | Does not require the IV administration of exogenous tracers. Does not require intravenous line placement or prolonged patient immobility. | Relies on estimation equations to determine GFR and can be inaccurate due to variation in laboratory assays and/or physiological factors (e.g., muscle mass, diabetes, age, etc.). | | Cystatin C | Blood measurement | Is not muscle mass or race dependent. Does not require the IV administration of exogenous tracers. Does not require intravenous line placement or prolonged patient immobility. | Not a measured GFR value Clinical availability | PMA 230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {6} PMA 230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 7 of 50 | Alternative Diagnostic Method | Description | Advantages/ Benefits | Disadvantages/ Limitations/ Risks | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Urine test for albumin-to-creatinine ratio | A single sample of urine is collected to measure both albumin and creatinine to calculate an albumin-to-creatinine ratio. This is done to provide an accurate indication of how much albumin is being released into the urine, an indication of early kidney disease. | Utilizes a relatively simple technique to assess kidney function. | Timed urine samples provide accurate assessments of kidney function but can delay diagnosis and interventions. Elevated albumin levels can result from factors other than altered kidney function, such as vigorous exercise, blood in the urine, urinary tract infection, dehydration, and some drugs. | | Radioactive 125-I iothalamate (Glofil) is an exogenous radioactive agent for real-time measurement of GFR when administered to the patient intravenously | Plasma clearance of this radioactive material measured via timed blood samples through an IV catheter or urine samples is used to measure kidney function. | Provides an accurate measure of kidney function. | Use of this substance should be avoided in patients with potential allergies to iodinated contrast media or iodine and iodide containing products. | | Blood testing for clearance of iohexol (Omnipaque) following injection | Following IV administration, plasma and urine concentrations of this nonionic low-osmolar contrast medium can be used for establishing GFR. | Provides an inexpensive non-radioactive marker that can act as a renal clearance agent that is simple and practical to measure in the clinic. Requires only a single IV injection of the marker (5ml in 2 min) with minimal sampling over subsequent 4-8 hours depending on renal function. | Use of this substance should be avoided in patients with potential allergies to iodinated contrast media or iodine and iodide containing products. | {7} | Alternative Diagnostic Method | Description | Advantages/ Benefits | Disadvantages/ Limitations/ Risks | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Blood testing for radioisotope activity following administration of radioactive chromium-51 ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (Cr-EDTA) | Following IV administration, plasma concentrations or renal clearance of this radioisotope can be used for establishing GFR. | Provides high accuracy measurement of GFR, even for patients with GFR≤ 15 ml/min | Requires administration of a radiolabeled substance and repeated blood samples. | | Renal imaging following administration of radioactive Tc-99m diethylene triamine pentaacetate (99mTc-DTPA) | Following IV administration, renal imaging can be used to assess relative function (GFR), blood flow, and possible obstruction to the kidneys. | Renal clearance of Tc-DTPA correlates well with inulin clearance. | Requires administration of radiolabeled substance along with access to imaging facilities and trained radioimaging personnel. This technique can be time consuming and cost prohibitive. | Each alternative has its own advantages and disadvantages. Patients should thoroughly discuss the alternatives with their physician to choose the method that best suits individual expectations and lifestyles. # VII.

Animal Studies In vivo studies with Relmapirazin were performed in the Sprague-Dawley rat model. On the basis of the fluorescence properties, plasma protein binding, recovery in the urine, and the renal PMA 230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {25} tubular secretion Relmapirazin was determined to be an acceptable agent to determine GFR. Additionally, probenecid inhibition studies were performed demonstrating that clearance is the same with and without probenecid. ## C. Additional Studies ### 1. Stability and Shelf-Life Studies Finished product shelf life was established utilizing American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D3330 test methods for the adhesive on the device and per the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines for drug products. The data supports the following expiration dates. - The MediBeacon® TGFR sensor has a two-year shelf life and the TGFR monitor has a five-year service life. - Lumitrace® injection has a 12-month expiry date when stored at 2-8° C. ## X. SUMMARY OF PRIMARY CLINICAL STUDIES The applicant performed a clinical study to establish a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with the MediBeacon® Transdermal GFR System (TGFR) in the US under IDE # G130129. Data from this clinical study were the basis for the PMA approval decision. A summary of the clinical study is presented below. ### Study Design Patients were treated between June 14, 2022, and February 15, 2023. The database for this P230019 PMA reflected data collected through May 22, 2023, and included 505 patients. There were 8 investigational sites (5 US sites and 3 sites in China). The MediBeacon® TGFR pivotal study was a multi-center, open-label study comparing transdermal glomerular filtration rate (tGFR) to plasma-derived indexed GFR (nGFR) with Lumitrace® (relmapirazin) injection as the fluorophore. Participants spanned the GFR range of values from normal to stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) and spanned the entire range of human skin colors as defined by the Fitzpatrick Skin Scale (FSS). The safety and pharmacokinetics of Lumitrace® and the safety of the MediBeacon® TGFR were also evaluated. During the study, MediBeacon® convened an internal team to evaluate the performance of the TGFR and to ensure site compliance with all study procedures relating to device usage. This monitoring also allowed MediBeacon to evaluate subject exclusions in accordance PMA 230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 26 of 50 {26} with the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) and determine if enrollment should continue based on evaluability of study subjects. Levels of Lumitrace® in the patient’s blood plasma (plasma derived indexed GFR, nGFR) were measured in the control group. A prior pilot study compared relmapirazin pharmacokinetics and excretion to the standard iohexol and established relmapirazin as a renal tracer agent. 1. Clinical Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria Enrollment in the TGFR pivotal study was limited to patients who met the following inclusion criteria: - Eligible female non-pregnant participants who are either not of child-bearing potential or willing to use adequate contraception during the trial. - Males must be willing to practice abstinence or utilize adequate contraception from dosing day to at least 7 days post-dose. - For women of child-bearing potential, the participant should have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening, and agrees to one of the following acceptable contraceptive methods used consistently and correctly; i.e. abstinence, oral contraceptive either combined or progesterone alone; injectable progesterone; implants of levonorgestrel; estrogenic vaginal ring; percutaneous contraceptive patches; intrauterine device (IUD) or system or male partner sterilization. - Men will not donate sperm during the study and for 1 month following the last dose of study drug. - Participants who are capable of directly providing informed, consent and who can comply with the requirements and restrictions required by the protocol. - Adequate venous access sufficient to allow blood sampling per protocol requirements. Patients were not permitted to enroll in the TGFR Pivotal study if they met any of the following exclusion criteria: - Participants positive via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for COVID-19 (Vaccinated participants without symptoms of COVID-19 are not required to undergo PCR testing but may be tested at the discretion of the study site). - Recent donation or loss of blood or plasma: 100 mL to 499 mL within 30 days prior to the initial dose of the study medication; or more than 499 mL within 56 days prior to the initial dose of study medication. - Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) use within 3 days of Lumitrace® injection dosing. - Participant has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational product within the following time ranges: prior to the first PMA 230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 27 of 50 {27} dosing day in the current study: either 30 days or 5 half-lives of the investigational product (whichever duration is longer). - History of skin sensitivity to adhesives (e.g. Band-Aids, surgical tape). - History of severe allergic hypersensitivity reactions (unacceptable adverse events) or anaphylactoid reaction to any allergen including drugs, Lumitrace® injection or other related products (intolerance to a drug is not considered a drug allergy). - Any characteristics which, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the participant a poor candidate for participation in the clinical trial. Significant scaring, tattoos or alterations in pigmentation on the sternum. or other sensor location testing areas that would alter sensor readings versus other areas of the skin. - Any serious or uncontrolled medical disorder, active infection, physical exam finding, laboratory finding, or psychiatric condition that in the opinion of the investigator would limit the participant's ability to complete study requirements or may put the participant at increased risk or compromise the interpretability of study results. Currently receiving dialysis. Currently anuric. Positive serum pregnancy test. - Participants with an eGFR $&gt;120 \mathrm{~mL} / \mathrm{min} / 1.73 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ . # 2. Follow-up Schedule All patients were scheduled to return for follow-up examinations at $7 \pm 3$ days of dosing. Clinical assessments during follow-up included: - Physical Assessment (at a minimum: Assessment of head, ears, eyes, nose, throat, (HEENT) respiratory, cardiovascular, abdominal systems). - Vital signs including blood pressure, respiration rate, heart rate and temperature. - Concomitant medications administered through follow-up. - Adverse events.

Pre-screening consent could be used to evaluate skin color only. Full informed consent was required prior to any study-related procedures was conducted. b. Negative pregnancy serum human chorionic gonadotropin test at screening for WOCBP was required for eligibility. On dosing day, a urine pregnancy test was conducted for WOCBP who agreed to use an acceptable method of birth control c. A full PE was required at the screening visit. A full PE or limited PA could be conducted prior to dosing. (Limited PA included assessments of HEENT, respiratory, cardiovascular, and abdominal systems). A full or limited exam could be conducted at the follow-up visit. d. Vital signs included blood pressure, respiration rate, heart rate, and temperature. Note: temperature was collected at screening, pre-dose, and at the follow-up visit (and not during multiple timepoints on dosing day). Whenever possible, subjects were resting for approximately 5 minutes prior to all measurements. Vital signs were collected at screening, pre-dose and at the following post-dose timepoints: 90, 250, 500, and 710 minutes (±5 minutes). For subjects followed PMA 230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 29 of 50 {29} for 24 hours, an additional measurement was taken at 1450 minutes. e. Height and weight were measured at screening; weight was also measured on the day of dosing. f. Clinical laboratory assessments were analyzed by a central laboratory and consisted of standard chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis parameters per Table 3 of the protocol. Coagulation panel was conducted at Screening only. g. MediBeacon Transdermal GFR Measurement System data collection was done prior to dose administration. At least 20 minutes prior to dosing, sensors were placed on the subject and the MediBeacon® Transdermal GFR Measurement System started. Data collection was continued through 12 to 24 hours of PK sampling. Once tGFR was measured, sensors might have been removed while PK sampling continues. h. The subject was given 240 mL of ambient water to drink the night prior (if brought in the night before dosing), the morning of dosing, and just prior to MB-102 dose administration. i. MB-102 was administered as a dose of 130 mg (7 mL) via IV injection over a 30 to 60 second injection period. This was followed by a saline flush over 30 to 60 seconds. Time of administration was recorded. j. Stratum 1: PK sampling was collected pre-dose and at 5, 15, 30, 60, 90 (±2 minutes), 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 480, 600 (±5 minutes) and 720 minutes post-dose (12-hour collection period). Stratum 2: PK sampling was collected pre-dose and at 5, 15, 30, 60, 90 (±2 minutes), 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 480, 600, 720, 960, 1200, and 1440 (±5 minutes) minutes post-dose (24-hour collection period). Blood draws were via a venous catheter and were processed in accordance with instructions available in the Study Procedure Manual. k. A 12-lead ECG was performed at Screening, prior to dosing, and at 700 minutes post dosing (±5 minutes). Subjects were resting quietly for 10 to 15 minutes prior to the ECG collection. l. Concomitant medications administered within 3 days prior to baseline through the final follow-up visit were recorded. m. Adverse events were collected from the time of sensor placement (for baseline measurement) through the follow-up visit. n. Fitzpatrick Skin Scale was assessed by evaluating the skin on the upper chest (where sensors were placed). ## 3. Clinical Endpoints With regards to safety, the Lumitrace® injection safety was evaluated through treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), where treatment emergence is defined with respect to the dosing of Lumitrace® injection. Safety of the MediBeacon® TGFR was evaluated through treatment-emergent adverse events, where treatment emergence is defined with respect to the start time of Transdermal GFR Measurement System use (placement of the sensor on the skin). Additional safety variables include physical examinations, clinical laboratory assessments, ECGs, and concomitant medication use. All safety analyses were done for subjects receiving a single dose of Lumitrace® injection. With regards to effectiveness, the primary endpoint was the proportion P30 of average session transdermal-derived GFR (TGFR) results within 30% of plasma-derived indexed GFR normalized to body surface area (nGFR), with a 95% confidence interval (CI) used to assess the pre-specified performance goal of 85%. Success for the study was defined by the lower limit of the 95% CI for P30 being greater than 85%. ## A. Accountability of PMA Cohort At the time of database lock, 505 subjects were screened and enrolled in the United States and China, of whom 249 (49.3%) subjects were dosed and 243 (48.1%) subjects completed PMA 230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 30 of 50 {30} the study. Reasons for not completing the study included screen failures (62.2%), cohort full (41.4%) and lost to follow-up (1.6%). ![img-2.jpeg](img-2.jpeg) Figure 3: Subject Accountability ## B. Study Population Demographics and Baseline Parameters The demographics of the study population are typical for a prospective study performed in the US. Subject demographics and baseline characteristics are provided in Table 10. As targeted, the modified intent to measure (mITM) population of subjects with impaired PMA 230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {31} and normal renal function equally in the study; 49% with an eGFR ≥ 70 mL/min/1.73m² and 50% with an eGFR &lt; 70 mL/min/1.73m². Likewise, in the United States, the modified intent to measure population was studied across the spectrum of the Fitzpatrick Skin Scale (FSS) with 55% of subjects with a FSS of I-III and 45% of subjects with a FSS of IV-VI. Note that in the total study population 27% of subjects in the mITM population were from China. Of 249 subjects included in the Safety Population, 201 (80.7%) subjects had at least one current medical history record. The most common (≥20% of subjects) medical histories were cardiovascular (57.8%), genitourinary (51.0%), endocrine metabolic (41.4%), gastrointestinal (27.7%), musculoskeletal (23.7%), neurologic (22.9%), head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat (HEENT) (22.1%), and other (20.1%) conditions.

Effectiveness Results The analysis of effectiveness was based on the 249 evaluable patients at the end of the TGFR session. Key effectiveness outcomes are presented in Tables 11 to 15. The primary objective of this study was a P30 estimate with a lower $95\%$ confidence interval that was greater than $85\%$ . P30 estimates represent the percentage of average session GFR values that were within $30\%$ of the measured GFR values. The device met its primary objective in the clinical trial where it was shown that $94.0\%$ of the average session GFR values obtained using this device were within $30\%$ of the measured GFR values with a $95\%$ confidence interval of $89.4 - 95\%$ . Table 12 below represents the P30 comparison with measured GFR. Table 12: Average session GFR results comparison with measured GFR results. | P30 Estimate | 95% CI lower limit | 95% CI upper limit | | --- | --- | --- | | 94% | 89.4% | 96.9% | The rate of decrease of Lumitrace® fluorescence measured on the skin has been shown in clinical studies to be highly correlated with nGFR as determined via Lumitrace® plasma clearance. ![img-3.jpeg](img-3.jpeg) Figure 4. Establishment of the correlation between Average Session GFR and nGFR. PMA 230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {35} Through post hoc analysis, average session GFR values obtained in the pivotal trial using this device were also compared with estimated GFR (eGFR) values (creatinine based 2009 CKD-EPI equation¹). The results of this comparison are summarized in Table 13. While 94.0% of the average session GFR values obtained using this device were within 30% of the measured GFR values; 92.9% of the eGFR values were also within 30% of the measured GFR values. Additionally, the 95% confidence intervals for the average session GFR overlap with the 95% confidence intervals for the eGFR (Table 13). This suggests that the accuracy of the average session GFR results obtained using this device is very similar to the accuracy of the eGFR results obtained using creatinine based 2009 CKD-EPI equation¹. Table 13: Average Session GFR results comparison with estimated GFR (eGFR) results: | | Average Session GFR | eGFR* | | --- | --- | --- | | P30 Estimate | 94.0% | 92.9% | | 95% Confidence Interval | 89.4-96.9% | 88.1-96.1% | *The eGFR results were obtained via a post hoc analysis, (which was not a predetermined outcome measure of the study). ## 3. Subgroup Analyses Patients were grouped into Stratum 1 (eGFR ≥70 mL/min/1.73m2) and Stratum 2 (eGFR &lt; 70 mL/min/1.73m2) based on the screening estimated GFR results (Table 14) Table 14: Subgroup Analyses based on eGFR Screening | Patient Population | P30 Estimate | 95% CI lower limit | 95% CI upper limit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Stratum 1 (eGFR ≥70 mL/min/1.73m2) N=90 | 95.6% | 89.0% | 98.8% | | Stratum 2 (eGFR < 70 mL/min/1.73m2) N=92 | 92.4% | 84.9% | 96.9% | The pivotal trial P30 target value was that the lower 95% confidence interval should be greater than 85%. Table 14 shows that the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for PMA 230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 36 of 50 {36} P30 estimate was above the target value for stratum 1 and just below the target value for stratum 2. This suggests that the device performance is consistent and acceptable in both eGFR strata. Note that in the total study population 27% of subjects in the modified intent to measure (mITM) population were from China. Results in Table 15 show data classified according to the eGFR strata (Stratum 1 and 2) subgroups globally and for each region (USA and China). Since the P30 estimate for all the subgroups is greater than 90%, this suggests consistency of the performance measure, suggesting that the device performance is consistent and acceptable across all subgroups.

The modified intent to measure (mITM) population was studied across the spectrum of the Fitzpatrick Skin Scale (FSS) with 42.3% of subjects with a FSS of I-II, 37.9% of subjects PMA 230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 37 of 50 {37} with FSS of III-IV and 19.8% of subjects with a FSS of IV-VI. The study was not specifically powered for skin color subgroup analysis.

The P30 estimates did not exhibit a statistically significant trend across FSS (exact p value from 2-sided Cochran-Armitage trend test is 0.1397). Table 17: Proportion of average session GFR results within 30% of nGFR stratified by FSS. | Fitzpatrick Skin Scale (FSS) | P30 Estimate n/N (%) | | --- | --- | | Type I | 37/38 (97.4) | | Type II | 37/39 (94.9) | | Type III | 41/43 (95.3) | | Type IV | 23/26 (88.5) | | Type V | 18/18 (100.0) | | Type VI | 15/18 (83.3) | | Overall | 171/182 (94.0) | The accuracy of TGFR measurements did not decrease significantly across the FSS groups in Table 17 (Cochran-Armitage trend test exact p value was 0.4136). The darker skin patients fall short of the trial performance goal of 85% since the lower 95% confidence intervals of the FSS III-VI patients are less than 85%. Also, the P30 estimate of the Type VI patients is 83.3% compared to (88.3-100%) in the lighter skin color categories. However, the point estimates per FSS level are uncertain and the 95% confidence intervals per FSS level are wide because the pivotal trial was not powered to detect statistically significant differences in average session GFR accuracy among skin color groups.

Continuous monitoring window expected to range from 6 to 12 hours | | MediBeacon has developed a robust and accurate assay for the measurement of Lumittrace® clearance in plasma. The PK of Lumitrace® was described using 2-compartment model regardless of kidney function. Lumitrace® clearance is comparable to that of iohexol. Lumitrace® is a human GFR tracer agent. Plotting of GFR derived from the Lumitrace® plasma concentrations against the GFR derived from the iohexol concentrations showed a linear regression of the data yields and r-squared correlation of 0.99. Based on the fluorescent analysis, results show that the MediBeacon® Transdermal GFR Measurement System (TGFR), formerly known as the Optical Renal Function Monitor [ORFM]) can measure the Lumittrace® transdermal fluorescence reduction rate which is consistent with Lumittrace® plasma concentration depletion rate. This will be further tested in a pivotal study. Lumitrace® was well tolerated in the population studied. No serious adverse events have been reported and all reported AEs were mile or moderate in severity. All device related AEs were also mild or moderate in severity.

This high correlation qualified Lumitrace® to be used as a renal tracer agent in the MediBeacon® TGFR.² ![img-4.jpeg](img-4.jpeg) Figure 5. Establishment of Lumitrace® as a renal tracer. ## XIII. PANEL MEETING RECOMMENDATION AND FDA'S POST-PANEL ACTION In accordance with the provisions of section 515(c)(3) of the act as amended by the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, this PMA was not referred to the Gastroenterology and Urology, an FDA advisory committee, for review and recommendation. ## XIV. CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM PRECLINICAL AND CLINICAL STUDIES PMA 230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {45} PMA 230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 46 of 50 # A. Effectiveness Conclusions The pivotal trial concluded that the MediBeacon® Transdermal GFR Measurement System (TGFR) provides GFR assessment in healthy and renally compromised patients with a certain level of accuracy in the GFR range 15-120 ml/min/1.73m². Specifically, 94% (171/182) of the average session GFR values were within 30% of the plasma derived indexed GFR (nGFR) (gold standard) with a 95% confidence interval of 89.4-96.9%. Additionally, the accuracy of the GFR results obtained from the TGFR is similar to the accuracy of GFR results obtained via serum creatinine (2009 CKD-EPI equation based¹). # B. Safety Conclusions The risks of the device are based on data collected in a clinical study conducted to support PMA approval as described above. The pivotal trial demonstrated that the MediBeacon® TGFR is safe to use. There were no study device-related treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), or Unanticipated Adverse Device Effect (UADE)s. The Lumitrace® intravenous injection was well tolerated, with a low incidence of transient mild or moderate TEAEs like injection site extravasation, ecchymosis, headache, hypertension, or cardiac murmur in very few patients. There were no serious TEAEs and or TEAEs leading to death. Patients exposed to Lumitrace® did not show hypersensitivity. Overall, 26/249 (10.4%) of patients had at least one adverse event reported and of these adverse events 0 (0.0%) were considered serious adverse events. # C. Benefit-Risk Determination The probable benefits of the device are based on data collected in a clinical study conducted to support PMA approval as described above. Use of the MediBeacon® TGFR provides the clinician with a GFR assessment. In the pivotal trial, a pre-specified endpoint was established to evaluate the primary effectiveness by comparing the performance of the transdermal average session GFR with plasma measured GFR (gold standard for GFR). This pre-specified primary endpoint was P30, the proportion of average session GFR measurements made by the TGFR system that are within 30% of the gold standard. In the pivotal study, the estimate of P30 was 94% (171/182) with 95% CI (89.4-96.9%). The pre-specified performance goal of 85% for P30 was met with statistical significance because the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (CI) on P30 is greater than 85%. In a post hoc analysis of the data obtained from the clinical trial, the performance of transdermal average session GFR was compared with the participant estimated GFR (eGFR), which is one of the many other modalities available for GFR assessment (Table 3). The performance of creatinine based eGFR (CKD-EPI 2009 equation¹) was found comparable with the performance of the transdermal average session GFR in the pivotal study. {46} The MediBeacon TGFR provides a point-of-care GFR assessment due to the transdermal detection of the novel fluorescent tracer agent. This methodology avoids issues associated with some other methods of GFR assessment or measurement (Table 3). For example, radioactive agents such as Glofil (I125 labeled iothalamate), 99mTc-DTPA, and 51Cr-EDTA involve handling and waste concerns that limit their routine use in the clinic. Cold iohexol requires blood draws over hours and subsequent laboratory processing to yield a GFR result, while the proposed device is much less invasive in measuring the decay of a fluorescence signal through the patient's skin. There are uncertainties associated with these benefits. Average session GFR obtained from the subject device was compared with measured GFR normalized to body surface area (nGFR), the acceptance limit of the average session GFR being within 30% of nGFR in the pivotal study. While this acceptance limit was chosen based on a similar acceptance limit for serum creatinine-based method of GFR determination (2009 CKD-EPI equation), there are other methods of GFR measurement that could have been used. Although the trial was not statistically powered to detect differences in accuracy between skin types, there were no statistically significant differences observed in GFR accuracy between patients of different skin color types. However, there was less representation in certain skin types raising potential uncertainty of generalizability across skin color types (Tables 16 &amp;17). While the device technology of measuring transdermal fluorescence to assess a patient's GFR is new, there is some concern about how well the study results will generalize, since eGFR in the current study (93%) is higher than the previously known estimate (84%) based on the CKD-EPI 2009 study (Levey et al., 2009¹). While this device does offer some practical advantages, it also requires placement of an intravenous (IV) line for administration of the exogenous tracer agent, produces results in 8-24 hours depending on the kidney function, and necessitates limited patient movement during the baseline measurements. Additionally, comparison of the accuracy of this device with eGFR assessment using cystatin C blood level concentration was not presented. The risks of the device include errors in GFR assessment and subsequent clinical implications, interference with other necessary clinical chemistry testing, and potential for device misuse. The MediBeacon® TGFR is a diagnostic device that is intended to be used as a standalone (and not adjunctive) device for GFR assessment. Therefore, errors in GFR assessment could potentially lead to patient harm as would be the case for any other standalone diagnostic device. For example, patient harm could occur with the possibility of misclassifying a patient's chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage. The GFR results obtained from this device will be used to determine a patient's CKD stage. A patient misclassified to an inaccurate CKD stage could receive inappropriate treatments or interventions, which may have serious PMA P230019: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 47 of 50 {47} deleterious health consequences. As interim snapshot values were not validated in the pivotal trial, the following warning was placed above the graph display of Snapshot GFR versus time from injection “Limitation: Graph Values Not Validated.” The limitation statement reduces the potential device misuse in which an unvalidated Snapshot GFR value will be obtained from the TGFR and used in clinical decision making. The PMA application submitted in support of this device did not include sufficient testing of potential Lumitrace® interference with the most common analytes and technologies used in other diagnostic tests used in the intended patient population. Therefore, the risks of Lumitrace® interference with other clinical diagnostic tests are unknown. Lumitrace® may be present in the blood and urine of patients with impaired kidney function for 72 hours following injection. Thus, there remains a risk that Lumitrace® may impact results from other diagnostic tests. The potential risks of Lumitrace® interference are mitigated by prominent warnings in device labeling and Provider and Patient Fact Sheets, which must be provided to patients and healthcare providers. There are also some uncertainties in the risks associated with this device. The pivotal trial was a clinical performance study, which did not assess the clinical outcomes of patients who are managed according to TGFR results. However, the demonstrated accuracy of TGFR mitigates patient risks associated with the uncertainty of TGFR effects on patient outcomes when managed according to MediBeacon® TGFR results. In the clinical data submitted, the overall reported adverse events (AE) were low, and there were no serious AEs reported. However, certain potential AEs were not studied in the pivotal trial. For example, patients using this device are required to limit movement. This could potentially predispose the patients to the effects of prolonged immobility. 1. Patient Perspectives This submission either did not include specific information on patient perspectives or the information did not serve as part of the basis of the decision to approve or deny the PMA for this device. In conclusion, given the available information above, the data support that for the assessment of GFR in adult patients with stable renal function the probable benefits outweigh the probable risks. D. Overall Conclusions The data in this application support the reasonable assurance of safety…
