Intended Use
The WiSE CRT System is indicated for adult patients who are at least 22 years of age, are indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), have an existing or are eligible for an implanted right ventricular pacing system, and are in one of the following two categories: Patients in whom previous coronary sinus (CS) lead implantation was unsuccessful, or where an implanted lead has been turned off, referred to as "previously untreatable"; Patients with previously implanted pacemakers or Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICDs) in whom standard CRT upgrade is not advisable due to known relative contraindications for CS lead or CRT device implantation, referred to as "high risk upgrades".
Device Story
WiSE CRT System provides leadless endocardial left ventricular (LV) pacing for CRT. System components: subcutaneous Transmitter, subcutaneous Battery, and endocardial Receiver Electrode. Transmitter generates ultrasound pulses synchronized with co-implanted RV pacemaker/ICD; Receiver Electrode converts ultrasound to electrical energy to stimulate LV endocardium. Used in clinic/hospital settings by electrophysiologists. System synchronizes with co-implant to achieve biventricular pacing. Programmer tablet used for parameter adjustment and follow-up. Benefits include improved heart function and symptoms for patients where standard CS lead placement is impossible or high-risk.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective, multi-center, multi-national pivotal trial (SOLVE-CRT, n=214). Primary safety endpoint: freedom from Type I complications at 6 months (80.9% rate, LCB 73.4%, p<0.001 vs 70% goal). Primary effectiveness endpoint: mean relative change in LVESV at 6 months (-16.4%, 95% CI -21.0% to -11.7%, p=0.003 vs -9.3% goal). Secondary endpoints included KCCQ score improvement, BiV pacing percentage (93.1%), and LVEF improvement.
Indicated for adults >=22 years old requiring cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) who have/are eligible for an RV pacing system and are either 'previously untreatable' (failed CS lead or lead turned off) or 'high risk upgrades' (standard CRT upgrade not advisable). Contraindicated in patients on triple anticoagulation who cannot tolerate therapy interruption, or those allergic/hypersensitive to procedural anticoagulation, contrast agents, or post-procedural antiplatelet regimens.

Date(s) of Panel Recommendation: None
Approval Application (PMA) Number: P240028
Date of FDA Notice of Approval: TBD
Breakthrough Device: Granted breakthrough device status on July 18, 2019, because the WiSE-CRT System met the criteria.
## II. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The WiSE CRT System is indicated for adult patients who are at least 22 years of age, are indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), have an existing or are eligible for an implanted right ventricular pacing system, and are in one of the following two categories:
- Patients in whom previous coronary sinus (CS) lead implantation was unsuccessful, or where an implanted lead has been turned off, referred to as "previously untreatable";
- Patients with previously implanted pacemakers or Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICDs) in whom standard CRT upgrade is not advisable due to known relative contraindications for CS lead or CRT device implantation, referred to as "high risk upgrades".
These categories are defined as follows:
### Previously Untreatable:
Patients who have a full or partial CRT system and are deemed as 'previously untreatable' for one of the following reasons:
- CS lead implant was attempted but abandoned due any of the following: difficult CS access or anatomy, inadequate lead location, inadequate pacing thresholds, phrenic nerve stimulation (PNS), or other procedural challenges;
- Left ventricular (LV) lead that was implanted but not operational including patients in whom the LV lead is inoperative or programmed off due to improper function such as high threshold, non-capture, PNS, lead failure, lead dislodgement, or suboptimal LV lead location.
{1}
High Risk Upgrades:
Patients in whom standard CRT upgrade is not advisable due to known relative contraindication to CS lead implant, for example:
- Risk of venous occlusion or lesion precluding implant (e.g., multiple existing leads in situ);
- Risk of pocket infection at co-implanted device site (e.g., co-implant initial placement or battery change within last 12 months);
- Considered high risk for CS implant due to co-morbidities (e.g., history of Ischemic Cardiomyopathy or Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) with risk of epicardial pacing induced VT).
There is insufficient evidence to support the use of the WiSE CRT System in prior CRT non-responders. The safety and effectiveness of the WiSE CRT System has not been established with leadless pacemaker co-implants that utilize conductive communication (e.g., Abbott Aveir).
III. CONTRAINDICATIONS
The WiSE CRT System is contraindicated for the following:
i. Patients on triple anticoagulant who cannot tolerate peri-procedural stopping of anticoagulation therapy.
ii. Patients who cannot tolerate, or are allergic or hypersensitive to, procedural anticoagulation or contrast agents, or to the post-procedural antiplatelet regimen.
IV. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Warnings and precautions are provided in the associated WiSE CRT System labeling.
V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The WiSE CRT System is an implantable, cardiac device capable of pacing the heart without a lead. The WiSE CRT System is not intended to be a life-sustaining device. A subcutaneously implanted Transmitter generates ultrasonic pulses that travel to a receiver implanted in the heart. This Receiver, also known as the Receiver Electrode or Electrode converts ultrasonic waves into electrical energy to stimulate cardiac tissue.
The WiSE CRT System applies this leadless technology to stimulate the endocardial surface of the left ventricle. Working in conjunction with standard, commercially-available implanted pacemakers (with or without leads) or defibrillators already implanted in the patient, the WiSE System replaces the pacing function of a coronary sinus lead to achieve cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The WiSE CRT System synchronizes with the co-implant using sensing electrodes in the Transmitter and Battery. As the co-implant paces the right ventricle, the Transmitter generates ultrasound pulses that are received by the Electrode and converted to electrical energy to pace the left ventricle. The sequence of sensing, transmitting, receiving, and stimulating the LV is essentially simultaneous with the co-implanted device's RV pacing output and provide biventricular (BiV) pacing, an operation analogous to standard CRT pacing devices.

## B. Animal Studies
EBR has conducted in vivo animal studies on goats using the WiSE CRT System devices in order to evaluate the acute and chronic performance and safety of the system in the animal model. These studies were non Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) studies.
### i. 30-day, 45-day and 90-day Chronic Electrode Implant Study
A study was conducted to assess the safety of chronic implantation of the Receiver Electrode (RE) component of the WiSE CRT system. A total of 33 REs were implanted into the Left Ventricles of 17 goats such that each of 16 goats were implanted with two REs and the remaining 1 goat was implanted with one RE. The primary objective of this safety study was to determine the time course and the extent of device coverage for endothelialization of the devices in the Left Ventricle. The secondary objective of the study was to assess the chronic attachment of the devices. The end time-points selected were 90 days ± 7 days (13 goats), 45± 5 days (two goats), and 30 days ± 3 days (two goats). The histopathological evaluations demonstrated that the REs implanted in the Left Ventricle were tolerated in the hearts of goats at 30, 45, and 90 days post implantation. Complete endothelialization was evident in the two 30 day animals. No REs were embolized.
### ii. Chronic Electrode Pacing Sub-Study
The Chronic Electrode Pacing study was a sub-study of the Chronic Electrode Implant study described above. In this study, the pacing capture threshold (PCT), which is the minimum pacing energy required to produce a depolarization of the left ventricle by the RE, was evaluated in 5 goats that had been implanted with functional REs in the left ventricle during the Chronic Electrode Implant study. The objective of this pacing study was to observe whether any changes occur in PCTs from the time of implant through maturation of connective tissue at the interface between tissue and the cathode of the RE. The PCTs were evaluated at implant and at up to four time points following implantation: 4-6 days, 11-13 days, 27-29 days and 42 days. RE PCT were stabilized in two to six weeks post implantation in the goat model.
### iii. Acute and Chronic Delivery Catheter Safety Study
An acute and chronic Delivery Catheter Safety study was conducted to obtain
PMA P240028: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{12}
evidence that the WiSE-CRT Delivery System (Model 1000 Catheter and Model 2000 Sheath) can be used to safely implant the RE in the endocardium of the left ventricle in goats.
A total of 53 Catheters were inserted into Sheaths under conditions of nominal implant and simulated failures. 42 of the 53 total REs were implanted consecutively in 42 delivery attempts into the left ventricles of 10 goats. The 10 goats included 8 acute goats (N= 34 electrodes) and 2 chronic goats that were survived for 30-days prior to necropsy (N= 8 electrodes). The remaining 11 delivery systems were used for simulating failure modes or for removal of the REs after it was anchored but not yet released. At necropsy, all REs were embedded with no evidence of excessive tissue trauma or injury. No REs were dislodged or embolized. REs were able to be removed by the Delivery System.
## iv. Chronic System Validation in Animals
The System Validation in Chronic Animals study was conducted to obtain evidence that the WISE CRT System can be used to synchronize to a co-implant pacing pulse and to chronically capture the LV.
The objective of the study was to demonstrate system functionality while emulating use of the system with chronically implanted Electrodes and Pulse Generator Systems in their final designs. Two adult goat models were implanted with Receiver Electrodes, Model 4000 Transmitters and Model 3000 Batteries in their final design forms. One goat was implanted for 110 days, and the other was implanted for over 600 days. Follow-up procedures, emulating the use of the Programmer (Model 5000) during clinical follow-up, were used to validate complete system operation in the chronically implanted animals throughout the implantation period.
In this study, the WiSE CRT System provided consistent chronic detection of the co-implant RV pacing output, searching for and targeting the RE, transferring ultrasound energy to the RE, pacing capture of the LV with the Electrode, and optimizing system parameters by testing/programming parameters through the radio link of the Programmer.
## v. System Validation using Model 4100 Transmitter
The System Validation using Model 4100 Transmitter study was conducted to obtain evidence that the functional and performance requirements of the WiSE-CRT system are satisfied using the Model 4100 Transmitter.
The study was conducted on one adult goat model which had been implanted with the RE, Battery (Model 3000) and Model 4100 Transmitter for 170 days. The WiSE-CRT system using the Model 4100 Transmitter satisfied functional and performance requirements meeting the validation test acceptance criteria in the protocol.

Data from this clinical study was the basis for the PMA approval decision. A summary of the clinical study is presented below.
The SOLVE-CRT Study was a prospective, multi-center, multi-national clinical evaluation of the WiSE CRT System. The treated population included patients who had previously failed conventional CRT, who had not responded to conventional CRT, or who were high risk upgrades (HRU) for conventional CRT. The study was a global trial including investigational sites from the United States (US), European Union (EU), United Kingdom (UK), and Australia (AU).
## A. Study Design
Patients were treated between January 17, 2018, and February 9, 2023. The database for this PMA reflected data collected through February 15, 2023, and included 214 patients. There were 68 investigational sites.
The SOLVE-CRT Study was a prospective pivotal clinical trial comprised of three separate, multi-center, multi-country parts:
- Part I Roll-In (n=31), single-arm, open label
- Part II Randomized (n=108), two-arm, randomized 1:1, double-blind
- Part III Single-Arm (n=75), single arm, open label
Part I Roll-In of the Study was introduced to provide physicians with implant experiences prior to enrolling patients in the Randomized Part of the trial. After enrolling 31 participants, the Roll-In Part was concluded as the results demonstrated low complication rates. Enrollment into Part II Randomized was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and was paused in March 2020 after 108 patients were enrolled at 36 centers. The trial was modified to include a Single-Arm, non-randomized Part to complete the study (Singh 2021).
All Part II Randomized participants underwent implantation of the WiSE CRT System which was initially programmed to 'Off. The participants in Part II Randomized were then assigned, employing a 1:1 randomization, to either the Treatment arm ('WiSE On') or the Control arm ('WiSE Off'). After 6 months of follow-up, the Control arm patients would cross over to the Treatment arm. Part I Roll-In participants and Part III Single-Arm participants were programmed to 'WiSE On' following the procedure. All patients in Parts I, II, and III adhered to the same 6-month follow-up schedule.
Participants were followed-up for six months after implantation of the WiSE CRT System for primary endpoint analyses. Primary endpoint analyses were from the pivotal Parts of the Study—Part II (Randomized) and Part III (Single-Arm).
The trial used an independent Clinical Events Committee (CEC) and a Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB):

## Clinical Events Committee (CEC)
A CEC was established to provide independent review and adjudication of adverse events (AEs) reported during the investigation. The CEC consisted of five medical experts relevant to HF, CRT, and electrophysiology including the CEC chairperson. They were independent of the Sponsor and study investigators, and do not have any significant investment in the Sponsor.
## Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB)
A DSMB was established to assess the continuing safety of participants, ongoing scientific integrity of the Study and effectiveness of the study device. The DSMB consisted of five non-EBR employed physicians and scientists who were not participating investigators for the Study, including a DSMB Chairperson.

## 2. Follow-up Schedule
All participants had to meet the Inclusion/ Exclusion criteria and undergo a screening transthoracic echocardiograph (TTE) to assess left ventricular (LV) wall thickness and presence of adequate acoustic windows for implantation of the WiSE CRT Transmitter. All assessments and procedures had to be done within 45 days before implant, except NT-proBNP which was required < 24 hours prior to implant of the first WiSE CRT System device. For Part I Roll-In and Part II Randomized in CIP v1.9
PMA P240028: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{17}
and prior versions, the required window was within 30 days prior to implant. A post-implant visit (< 24 hours from implant) was required per clinical investigation plan (CIP) v1.9 and prior versions, but it was subsequently removed from CIP v2.0.
## Pre-Discharge
In Part II Randomized, participants who had a successful WiSE CRT System implant were randomized to one of the two arms, Treatment or Control, prior to discharge. All assessments and procedures, including randomization, had to be completed within 7 days after implant. For the Part III Single-Arm patients, the visit at six months was ± 20 days.
## Follow-Up Visits
Participants were followed up at one month (± 21 days), three months (± 15 days), six months (± 15 days), 12 months (± 45 days), 18 months (± 45 days), 24 months (± 45 days) and then annually through five years (± 60 days) from the time of Electrode implant. For the Part III Single-Arm patients, the visit at six months was ± 20 days. For Part II Randomized, participants were unblinded at the six-months visit after all assessments and procedures were completed. The 24-hour ambulatory Holter monitor was required for the first consecutive 125 participants in the Randomized Treatment arm. Subsequently, this assessment was removed from CIP version 2.0. The required assessments and procedures are outlined in Table 2.

# 3. Clinical Endpoints
Per the CIP, the Study was considered a success when both the primary safety endpoint and the primary Effectiveness endpoint were achieved. Success was evaluated using a group sequential design with one interim safety analysis.
1. Fixed sample size Effectiveness analysis and interim safety analysis after completion of six-month follow-up of all Part II and first 75 Part III participants
2. Final safety analysis after completion of follow-up of final 117 Part III participants
# Primary Safety Endpoint (Part II and Part III)
The primary Safety endpoint for the SOLVE-CRT Study was freedom from Type I complications at six months post implant compared to a performance goal of 70% for all participants in Part II and Part III of the Study (n = 183). Type I complications included AEs caused by any component of the investigational system or specific procedure-related events.
The null and alternative hypotheses:
$$
\mathrm{H}_0:\mathrm{p} \leq 70\% \text{ vs } \mathrm{H}_a:\mathrm{p} > 70\%
$$
where 70% is the objective performance criterion and p the percentage of patients who are free from Type I complication at six months.
The analysis consisted of calculating a one-sided lower bound from the exact binomial distribution and comparing the lower bound to the performance goal. The width of the confidence interval was determined by the nominal alpha at the interim analysis.
# Primary Effectiveness Endpoint (PU-HRU of Part II and Part III):
The primary Effectiveness endpoint for the SOLVE-CRT Study was the mean relative (%) change in Left Ventricular End-Systolic Volume (LVESV) as assessed by echocardiography at six months post implant compared to a performance goal of -9.3%. All echocardiograms were evaluated by a blinded echocardiographic core lab. The relative (%) mean change in LVESV from baseline to six months was calculated as follows:
$$
\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} \left( \left( x_{i \text{ LVESV}6m} - x_{i \text{ LESV}bl} \right) / x_{i \text{ LVESV}bl} \right) * 100\%}{n}
$$
The null and alternative hypotheses:
$$
\mathrm{H}_0:\mu_{\text{txt}} \geq -9.3\% \text{ vs } \mathrm{H}_a:\mu_{\text{txt}} < -9.3\%
$$
where $\mu_{\text{txt}}$ is the mean % change in LVESV in the Treatment arm from baseline through six months.
The comparison of the mean % change in LVESV to the performance goal of -9.3% was based on the upper bound of a 95% two-sided confidence interval (CI) constructed for the estimated mean change using the t-distribution. The estimated upper bound of the confidence interval was compared to the performance goal. If the upper bound was less than 9.3%, then this endpoint was successfully achieved.
# Secondary Effectiveness Endpoints (PU-HRU of Part II and Part III)
The secondary Effectiveness endpoints were based on the Effectiveness population at
{20}
six months post implant. No formal testing of the secondary Effectiveness endpoints was performed. All secondary endpoints were summarized with descriptive statistics. Secondary Effectiveness endpoints included the proportion of participants with an acoustic pacing capture threshold (APCT) less than 2.9 mJ, the proportion of participants with APCT stability (defined as a less than a 3x relative change in APCT from baseline), percent BiV pacing, ejection fraction (EF) responder analysis for ≥ 5% absolute increase, and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) responder analysis for ≥ 5 points absolute increase.
## B. Accountability of PMA Cohort
At the time of database lock, a total of 214 patients were enrolled in the PMA Study across 68 international centers in four geographies (US, EU, UK, AU). For the interim analysis at six months post implant, data included all (100%) of the 183 participants from Part II and Part III of the Study.
## Patient Disposition & Analysis Groups
The Safety population was made up of all 108 patients enrolled in Part II (Randomized) and 75 participants enrolled in Part III (Single-Arm) of the Study.
For the Effectiveness analysis, only a portion of participants from Part II who represented the same population as those in Part III were included in the Effectiveness analysis. As such, the Effectiveness population was made up of 25 previously untreated (PU) and High-Risk Upgrade (HRU) participants who were randomized to the Treatment arm of Part II and 75 PU and HRU participants from Part III.
PU patients had a full or partial CRT system but were not receiving CRT because of a failed LV lead implantation or other lead issue. HRU patients included those in whom standard CRT upgrade was not advisable due to known relative contraindication to coronary sinus lead implant.

# C. Study Population Demographics and Baseline Parameters
# Baseline CRT Indication
The demographics and baseline characteristics of the study population were comparable to the population indicated for CRT. Indication classes were defined as:
Class I: NYHA II, III, IV, EF $\leq 35\%$ LBBB, QRS $\geq 150\mathrm{ms}$
Class IIa (1): NYHA II, III, IV, EF $\leq 35\%$ LBBB, QRS $\geq 130$ to $< 150\mathrm{ms}$
Class IIa (2): NYHA II, III, IV, EF $\leq 35\%$ non-LBBB, QRS $\geq 150\mathrm{ms}$
As shown in Table 3, indications for CRT in the Safety population were Class I (68.9%), Class IIa (1) (13.7%), and Class IIa (2) (17.5%). Twenty-four percent (24%) of participants in the Safety population were Non-Responders (NRs), 60.1% were PUs, and 15.8% were HRUs.
For the Effectiveness population, indications for CRT were Class I (64.0%), Class IIa (1) (14.0%), and Class IIa (2) (22.0%). Seventy-five percent (75.0%) of participants in the
PMA P240028: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{22}
Effectiveness population were PUs and
25.0\%
were HRUs.

| High Risk Upgrade | 29/183 (15.8%) | 25/100 (25.0%) |
# Patient Enrollment by Geography
The SOLVE-CRT Study was a global trial including patients enrolled in the United States (US) and Outside United States (OUS). Table 4 summarizes the geographic region of participants in the Study. Of the 183 total enrolled patients, 92 $(50.3\%)$ patients were from the US and 91 $(49.7\%)$ patients were from OUS. In the Effectiveness population, the majority of the patients enrolled were from US (73, $73\%$ ) vs OUS $(27,27\%)$ .
Table 4. Patient Enrollment by Geography
| Geography | Safety Population (N=183) n/N (%) | Effectiveness Population (N=100) n/N (%) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| US | 92/183 (50.3%) | 73/100 (73%) |
| OUS | 91/183(49.7%) | 27/100 (27%) |
# Baseline Demographics & Medical History
Table 5 summarizes the baseline demographics and medical history of participants in the SOLVE-CRT Study. Overall, there were no significant differences in demographics or medical history between the Safety and Effectiveness populations.
The mean age in the Safety population was $68.1 \pm 10.28$ years and $68.2 \pm 10.47$ years in the Effectiveness population, with $66.7\%$ and $67.0\%$ over 65 years of age, respectively. Most patients were male ( $77.0\%$ in the Safety population and $76.0\%$ in the Effectiveness population) and white ( $85.8\%$ in the Safety population and $82.0\%$ in the Effectiveness population).
PMA P240028: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{23}
Most had NYHA class III symptoms (65.4% Safety, 65.0% Effectiveness). In addition, about half of the participants in each population had a history of atrial tachyarrhythmia and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, and about one-third in each population had a history of ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Study participants in both populations had histories of coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, renal dysfunction, pulmonary disorder, or other medical conditions. These characteristics of the study population are consistent with advanced HF with multiple comorbidities and a poor prognosis.

## Baseline Endpoint Measurements
Baseline measurements for clinical variables used for primary safety and Effectiveness endpoints are presented in Table 6.
In the Safety population, mean LVESV was 151.1 ± 67.21 ml, mean LVEDV was 210.4 ± 77.8 ml, and mean LVEF was 29.8 ± 7.9%.
In the Effectiveness population, mean LVESV was 146.3 ± 71.5 ml, mean LVEDV was 206.8 ± 83.6 ml, and mean LVEF was 31.1 ± 7.9%. Mean intrinsic QRS, paced QRS, KCCQ score, NT-proBNP level, and APCT are also presented in Table 6.
The baseline endpoint measures were similar between the two study populations and describe a population of patients with advanced HF.

## D. Safety and Effectiveness Results
### 1. Primary Safety Results
The safety analysis was based on all 108 participants from Part II Randomized and 75 participants from Part III Single-Arm of the Study for a total of 183 patients. The key safety outcomes for this study are presented in Table 8 to Table 11.
Adverse effects are reported in Table 10 and Table 11.
In the Safety population, there was an 80.9% rate (148/183 patients) of freedom from Type I complications with a lower bound of the one-sided 98.8% confidence interval of 73.4%, above the 70% performance goal (p < 0.001). Thus, the primary safety endpoint was achieved.
Further, a Kaplan-Meier sensitivity analysis was conducted, showing a freedom from Type I complications of 80.6%, with a lower confidence bound of 72.8%, above the performance goal of 70% which confirmed the success of the primary safety endpoint.

## Adverse Effects that occurred in the study
Adverse events reported from baseline to six months post implant were adjudicated by the CEC. The key safety outcomes for this study are presented in Table 10. Both observations and complications were reported.
An observation was defined as an AE that does not result in invasive intervention or could be corrected by simple adjustments.
A complication was defined as an AE that resulted in injury, or significant or permanent disability and fulfilled any one or more of the following:
1. An event that cannot be treated or resolved by simple adjustments/ treatments and requires invasive intervention, intravenous medication, blood product administration, hospitalization or re-hospitalization after discharge, or prolonged hospitalization (> 48 hours) prior to discharge, or any combination thereof
2. A procedure- or device-related pericardial effusion or pseudoaneurysm resulting in a procedure
3. An event that results in significant or permanent loss of device function
4. An event that results in death
Complications were further defined by Type I, II, III, or IV.
Type I complications were those that were caused by a component of the study device system (the WiSE CRT System Transmitter, Battery, Electrode, Catheter, Sheath, and/or Programming Software), or specific procedure-related events including vascular events, stroke, pericardial effusion, and pocket events. Note that failure to implant or a failed implant attempt did not count as a Type I complication unless it was associated with an event that was classified as such.
Type II complications were other procedure-related events not specifically caused by a component of the study device system, but that would not have occurred in the absence of the study implantation procedure.
Type III complications were events that were caused by a change in the participant's condition unrelated to the implanted study device system or the implantation procedure.
Type IV complications were pre-existing medical conditions or conditions that occurred while the participant was not enrolled in the Study.
Table 10 shows CEC-adjudicated AEs that occurred through six months post implant in the Safety population of the SOLVE-CRT Study. There were no
PMA P240028: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data

{29}
unanticipated adverse device effects (UADEs).
Overall, 177 complications occurred in 86 of 183 participants in the Safety population (47.0%). Of the 86 participants who experienced a complication, 19.1% (35/183) had a Type I, 7.7% (14/183) had a Type II, 12.6% (23/183) had a Type III, and 25.7% (47/183) had a Type IV complication.
Of the 35 participants who experienced a Type I complication, 6.6% had a study device system event, 2.7% had a vascular event, 1.6% had a stroke or other thromboembolic event, 3.8% had a cardiac perforation, and 6.6% had a pocket event. Four (4) cardiac perforations required surgical intervention and three (3) were treated with pericardiocentesis of which two (2) appeared to be related to the transseptal puncture. The cardiac perforations requiring surgical intervention occurred early in the study and prompted some additional safety measures for the implant, including the use of real time echocardiography during the Electrode implant. No LV perforations requiring surgical intervention were observed after the implementation of this mitigation.
In addition, the CEC adjudicated 169 observations in 82 of the 183 participants (44.8%) in the Safety population.

## 2. Primary Effectiveness Results
The Effectiveness analysis was based on a total of 100 participants at six months post implant, 25 PU-HRU Part II participants randomized to the Treatment arm and 75 PU-HRU Part III Single-Arm participants at the 6-month time point. Key effectiveness outcomes are presented in Table 12. The primary Effectiveness endpoint for the SOLVE-CRT Study was the mean relative (%) change in LVESV from baseline to six months compared to a performance goal of -9.3%.
Table 12 shows the absolute and relative changes in LVESV at six months post implant in comparison to baseline using imputed data. With imputation, measurements of LVESV were available at baseline and six months for 92 of 100 participants (92.0%) in the Effectiveness population. The mean relative change in LVESV among those participants was -16.4 ± 22.5% (95% CI, -21.0% to -11.7%) with an upper confidence bound below the -9.3% performance goal (p = 0.003), meeting the primary Effectiveness endpoint. The absolute change in LVESV was -22.8 ± 36.2 ml (95% CI: --30.3, --15.3) which was also statistically significant (p < 0.001).

‡Effectiveness population = 100 subjects consisting of all Previously Untreatable (PU) and High-risk Upgrade (HRU) Part II subjects randomized to Treatment and up to first 75 subjects enrolled in Part III.
*Imputation groups were established based on the following baseline characteristics: indication for CRT (PU or HRU), sex, age group (≥65 vs. < 65) and baseline LVESV quartile. The worst-case relative change (%) in LVESV from the matching imputation group for subjects with missing not at random (MNAR) data was used as the imputed datapoint.
The primary Effectiveness endpoint was also evaluated in the As Treated and Per Protocol analysis populations, and results were similar to the Effectiveness population; namely, the primary Effectiveness endpoint was met in both of these analysis populations.
## Data Poolability
Data Poolability was tested for the primary safety endpoint and the primary Effectiveness endpoint by three poolability factors: 1) Study Part (Randomized vs Single-Arm), 2) Geography (US, EU, UK, AU), and 3) Study Site. Both primary endpoints passed (p > 0.05) poolability testing across all three factors. Since both the primary Effectiveness and safety endpoints met the pre-specified stopping rules for interim analysis, the trial was concluded as a success.
## Secondary Effectiveness Results
Secondary Effectiveness endpoints were not formally tested. Proportion of participants or descriptive statistics are summarized.
Key secondary Effectiveness outcomes are presented in Table 13 to Table 17 below. Secondary endpoints included KCCQ responders, percent BiV pacing, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) responders, and acoustic pacing capture threshold (APCT).
## KCCQ Score
Among the 87 participants with KCCQ scores, 57 (65.5%) had an absolute increase of ≥ 5 points in their KCCQ score.

Among the 83 participants with available data, 79 (95.2%) achieved an APCT of $< 2.9 \mathrm{mJ}$ indicating that in greater than $95\%$ of participants, the WiSE CRT System could be programmed as intended to deliver BiV pacing for CRT.

| Effectiveness Population | 79/83 (95.2%) |
| Per Protocol | 79/83 (95.2%) |
| As Treated | 79/83 (95.2%) |
# APCT Stability
Among 75 participants with available data, 61 (81.3%) had a relative increase in APCT from pre-discharge to six months that was less than $3\mathrm{x}$ , characterizing the stability of energy usage to maintain pacing through this period.
