Indications for Use
The TherOx DownStream System, is indicated for the preparation and delivery of SuperSaturated Oxygen Therapy (SSO₂ Therapy) to targeted ischemic regions perfused by the patient's left anterior descending coronary artery immediately following revascularization by means of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting that has been completed within 6 hours after the onset of anterior acute myocardial infarction (AMI) symptoms caused by a left anterior descending artery infarct lesion.
Device Story
System delivers SuperSaturated Oxygen Therapy (SSO₂) to ischemic myocardium post-PCI. Inputs: hospital-supplied oxygen gas and sterile saline. Console (DS-1) controls mixing/metering in disposable cartridge (DSC-2) to create hyperoxemic solution (pO2 760-1240 mmHg). Solution mixed with autologous arterial blood in extracorporeal circuit; hyperoxemic blood (100 ml/min) infused via 5F catheter into left main coronary artery ostium for 60 minutes. Used in cath lab by interventional cardiologists. Output: hyperoxemic blood delivery to target vessel. Effect: reduces infarct size; improves myocardial health. Benefits: potential reduction in infarct size adjunct to PCI.
Clinical Evidence
Evidence from two clinical trials: AMIHOT II (prospective, randomized, multicenter, N=301) and IC-HOT (single-arm, N=100). AMIHOT II showed superiority in median infarct size (20.0% vs 26.5% control, p=95.1% Bayesian probability). IC-HOT confirmed safety with 7.1% 30-day NACE rate, meeting pre-specified threshold of 10.7%. Adverse events included bleeding, stent thrombosis, and myocardial rupture, with higher rates in SSO₂ arm in AMIHOT II; IC-HOT safety profile was consistent with benchmarks. Bench testing verified system performance, biocompatibility, and sterilization.

## IV. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
The warnings and precautions can be found in the Therox DownStream System labeling.
## V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Therox DownStream System includes three components: the re-usable electromechanical console DownStream System (Model DS-1), the single-use disposable DownStream Cartridge (Model DSC-2), and the 5F SSO₂ Catheter. These component devices are supplied by TherOx exclusively for use in delivering SSO₂ Therapy. These components work in unison to perform the processes of SSO₂ Therapy delivery and blood circulation to support hyperoxemic blood delivery. A detailed description of these components follows.
### The DownStream System
The DownStream System (Model Number DS-1) is the medical electrical device (console) that controls the DownStream Cartridge and monitors performance and safety during administration of SSO₂ Therapy (see Figure 1). The DownStream System has a touch-screen display interface to guide the health care professional through setup and clinical operation. The system is non-sterile and has no direct patient contact. The DownStream System is intended primarily to be mains operated (AC-powered) and stationary during use, but it has handles and wheels to facilitate movement and is internally powered by a battery for operation during transport (note: the patient is not to be transported/moved while therapy is being provided). The DownStream System has several integrated subsystems mounted upon a single system chassis. The major subsystems are the Cartridge Control Subsystem (CCS), Display Subsystem (Display), Power Supply Subsystem (Power Supply), and Oxygen Supply Subsystem (Oxygen
PMA P170027: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
Page 2
{2}
Supply). The CCS includes a housing to control mixing and metering operations for the oxygenated saline within the DownStream Cartridge. The CCS incorporates a peristaltic blood pump to control extracorporeal circuit blood flow rate; circuit pressure and bubble detection are monitored by the CCS. The CCS also includes a safety interlock which continuously monitors parameters critical to safe system operation and can safely stop therapy if necessary. The Display is the user interface for the DownStream System. The Display includes an LCD screen for user messages, a speaker for audible feedback and a keypad for user operation. The Power Supply is the power source for all system electronics, while the Oxygen Supply provides regulated oxygen to the CCS for cartridge operation.

Figure 1. DownStream System
## The DownStream Cartridge
The DownStream Cartridge (Model Number DSC-2) is a sterile, single-use device that is inserted in the DownStream System to support $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ Therapy (see Figure 2). The DownStream Cartridge comprises the blood-contact fluid flow path together with the $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ delivery catheter. The DownStream Cartridge, when controlled by the DownStream System, creates $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ solution from inputs of hospital-supplied oxygen gas and sterile saline solution. The DownStream Cartridge delivers and mixes autologous arterial blood from the patient with $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ solution in a carefully designed extracorporeal circuit to create oxygen-enriched hyperoxemic blood with an elevated $\mathrm{pO}_2$ level of $760 - 1240\mathrm{mmHg}$ . Because the $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ solution has a high oxygen concentration, the flow rate
PMA P170027: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{3}
of $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ solution is only $3.5\mathrm{ml / min}$ out of a total return flow rate of $100\mathrm{ml / min}$ ; the fluid loading to the patient is thus minimal.
The DownStream Cartridge weighs less than one pound and is constructed primarily from injection-molded polycarbonate. The tubing material is polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The draw and return tubing have approximately 8 feet of working length. The blood priming volume of the DownStream Cartridge is approximately $60~\mathrm{ml}$ . The DownStream Cartridge is individually packaged.

Figure 2. DownStream Cartridge
# $\mathbf{SSO}_2$ Delivery Catheter
The qualified $\mathrm{SSO_2}$ Catheter ("catheter") is a 5F (O.D.) over-the-wire TherOx-supplied catheter that is equipped with a standard luer fitting at the proximal end for attachment to the return line of the cartridge. The $\mathrm{SSO_2}$ Catheter has been qualified by TherOx for delivery of $\mathrm{SSO_2}$ Therapy. The catheter has a 5F outer diameter, a length of $100\mathrm{cm}$ , and a single endhole for fluid output. The catheter is provided in Judkins Left (JL) tip shapes to facilitate placement in the left main coronary ostium using a femoral or radial access site. The catheter produces a nominal circuit pressure between 1000 to $1400\mathrm{mmHg}$ at a return blood flow rate of $100\mathrm{ml/min}$ . The catheter is placed in the ostium of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) using a guidewire by the trained physician and is connected to the cartridge after blood priming. Figure 3 shows the $\mathrm{SSO_2}$ Catheter.

Figure 3. $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ Catheter
# Patient Connections
The DownStream Cartridge draw tubing connects to a femoral arterial sheath. This sheath may be the same sheath used for the index PCI procedure and subsequent placement of the $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ Catheter – this is the single access site approach. For the single access site approach placement is coaxial (using one femoral arterial access site) with the catheter inserted through a 7F or larger sheath and the draw tubing hooked up to the sheath sidearm. Alternatively, a dual access site approach may be used, requiring a single 5F femoral sheath for blood withdrawal, and catheter placement through a second 5F or larger sheath placed in either the radial artery or the contralateral femoral artery. The $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ Catheter is placed at the ostium of the left main coronary artery using standard catheterization laboratory techniques. When extracorporeal blood flow is initiated, the delivery catheter and DownStream Cartridge return tubing are wet-connected to ensure that no gaseous emboli are introduced to the patient during priming. The cartridge return tubing luer fitting connects to the luer hub of the delivery catheter.

Figure 4 provides a schematic of the patient connections during $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ Therapy administration.

# Principle of Operation
- Hospital-supplied oxygen gas is dissolved in physiologic saline under high pressure; the resultant highly oxygenated solution is called $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ solution.
- $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ solution (3.5 ml/min) is combined with the autologous arterial blood (96.5 ml/min) in an extracorporeal circuit, providing hyperoxemic blood at a flow rate of 100 ml/min with an elevated $\mathrm{pO}_2$ level of 1000 mmHg. A sixty-minute procedure requires 210 ml of fluid loading.
- Hyperoxemic blood is infused into the target coronary artery through the $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ delivery catheter for sixty minutes. Existing patient connections, including the femoral introducer sheath, can be used for blood withdrawal and coronary access. It is also possible to place the delivery catheter using radial artery access, using femoral access for blood withdrawal.

PMA P170027: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{7}
system operates in conjunction with two single-use disposable devices, the TherOx DownStream Cartridge and the $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ Catheter.
The ISO 10993-1 standard, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part-1: Evaluation and Testing" and the FDA's Blue Book Memo G95-1 were used as guidance in selecting the appropriate tests.
Per the ISO 10993-1 standard, the DownStream Cartridge is categorized as an "External communicating device" contacting circulating blood. Duration of contact is categorized as "Limited exposure", or less than 24 hours.
Biocompatibility and toxicity testing were performed on sterile finished devices and included the following battery: Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Intracutaneous Reactivity, Systemic Toxicity, Hemolysis, and Genotoxicity. Table 1 provides a summary of the performed tests and corresponding document numbers. Each of these tests was conducted in compliance with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). Results demonstrated that the DownStream Cartridge passed all required tests.
Table 1. Summary of DownStream Cartridge Biocompatibility/Toxicity Testing
| Biocompatibility/Toxicity Test | Pass/Fail |
| --- | --- |
| Cytotoxicity | Pass |
| Sensitization | Pass |
| Intracutaneous Reactivity | Pass |
| Systemic Toxicity | Pass |
| Hemolysis | Pass |
| Genotoxicity | Pass |
| LAL Test | Pass |
In addition, as part of the product sterile release system, pyrogen testing utilizing the Kinetic-Chromogenic LAL assay method has been performed for all sterilization loads with acceptable results.
Based on the results of these tests, the DownStream Cartridge materials were determined to meet the biocompatibility/toxicity requirements for the device.
# B. Animal Testing
Controlled studies were performed in both porcine and canine AMI models to investigate the safety, effectiveness, and mechanism of action of $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ Therapy. Key studies are summarized in Table 2. The findings of these studies demonstrated improved LV function, infarct size reduction, a microvascular mechanism of action, and that supersaturated oxygen therapy is non-toxic.

Table 2. Summary of Key Animal Studies
| Description | Sample size | Measures | Results |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Canine AMI model
Post-induced AMI comparison: SSO2 Therapy vs. autoreperfusion vs. normoxemic (pump) reperfusion (3 groups) | N=26 | Myocardial blood flow (radiolabeled microspheres), left ventricular function (ECHO), ECG changes | LVEF and ECG improvement in SSO2 group with increased microvascular blood blow compared to controls |
| Porcine AMI model
Post-induced AMI comparison: SSO2 Therapy vs. autoreperfusion vs. normoxic (pump) vs. pump with membrane oxygenator (4 groups) | N=59 | Left ventricular function (ECHO), infarct size (histology), myeloperoxidase assays in at-risk myocardium | LVEF improvement with reduced infarct size and reduced myeloperoxidase levels in SSO2 group compared to controls |
| Porcine AMI model
Post-induced AMI with stenting safety comparison: SSO2 Therapy vs. sham infusion (2 groups) | N=40 | Left ventricular function, infarct size, full pathology of heart and other end organs at 7 and 28 days | LV functional improvement and smaller infarct size in SSO2 group compared to controls with no toxicity noted in coronary arteries, myocardium, or other organs |
The key summary points from animal studies are:
- SSO₂ Therapy administration post-AMI acutely improves left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and regional wall motion as compared with non-treated controls.
- Control animals exhibited larger infarcts than SSO₂-treated animals as determined by post-sacrifice histological measurements of infarct size
- SSO₂ Therapy was non-toxic to the coronary arteries, myocardium, and end organs in randomized, controlled swine studies with or without induced acute myocardial infarction.
- SSO₂ Therapy administration post-AMI has exhibited regional myocardial blood flow improvement in treated animals as compared to controls.
- A significant reduction in myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels was observed in SSO₂ - treated animals versus controls; reduced MPO levels indicate improvement in underlying myocardial hypoxia.
- Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) photographs showed amelioration of endothelial cell edema and restoration of capillary patency in ischemic zone cross-sectional histological examination of SSO₂-treated animals; non-treated controls exhibit significant edema and vessel constriction at the microvascular level.
The pre-clinical animal studies conducted with the TherOx DownStream System in AMI models have demonstrated acute improvements in cardiac function and metabolic indicators of myocardial health, as well as infarct size reduction versus controls.

## Sterilization
The DownStream Cartridge is ethylene oxide sterilized at a contracted sterilization facility. The sterilization cycle uses an Ethylene Oxide/ Carbon Dioxide gas mixture (8.5% and 91.5% respectively) with a minimum EO gas concentration of 230 mg/l. The nominal gas dwell time is 14.5 hours.
The sterilization cycle was validated using the "overkill" method outlined in ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135. The validation consisted of three half-cycles, one fraction cycle, and three full cycles. The validation demonstrated that a sterility assurance level (SAL) of at least 10⁻⁶ is achieved. The sterilization cycle is requalified annually.
The SSO₂ Catheter is supplied to TherOx by the contract manufacturer pre-sterilized using Ethylene Oxide with SAL of 10⁻⁶ and this cycle has been qualified.
## Packaging
The DownStream Cartridge is placed in a custom thermoformed tray made of high impact styrene. A clear PETG lid snaps into the tray, keeping the Cartridge securely in place. The lid is well vented and does not interfere with the EO sterilization process. The tray is then placed in a Tyvek/poly pouch. The pouch is heat sealed, labeled, and placed in a unit box. The unit box is labeled and placed in an outer case. The cases are palletized and terminally sterilized with an ethylene oxide sterilant and carbon dioxide gas mixture. The packaged Cartridge has a three-year shelf life. The DownStream System is packaged separately, and has a three-year shelf life.
The SSO₂ Catheter is pre-packaged by the contract manufacturer with five catheters provided per box in the same JL tip shape configuration. Final labeling is applied by TherOx for use of the catheter in delivering SSO₂ Therapy. The SSO₂ Catheter has a two-year shelf life.
## X. SUMMARY OF CLINICAL STUDIES
## AMIHOT II Clinical Trial
The applicant performed a clinical study to establish a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of SSO₂ Therapy with the TherOx DownStream System for reducing infarct size in anterior AMI patients treated within six hours of symptom onset in the US under IDE G980257. Data from this clinical study were part of the basis for the PMA approval decision. A summary of the clinical study is presented below.

## A. Study Design
The study enrollment was conducted from September 13, 2005, the date of the first patient enrollment, to June 28, 2007, the date of completion for the last 30-day patient follow up at 20 investigational sites.
The study was a prospective, multicenter randomized clinical study of SSO₂ Therapy with the TherOx DownStream System compared to PCI/stenting alone to determine whether intracoronary perfusion of hyperoxemic blood SSO₂ Therapy group immediately after successful PCI/stenting for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction reduces the area of infarction (% left ventricle) at 14 days post-PCI, with no more than a 6% (absolute) increase in the incidence of Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE), death, re-infarction, target vessel revascularization, and stroke at the latter of either 30 days post-PCI or hospital discharge.
The AMIHOT II Clinical Events Committee (CEC) was responsible for comprehensive adverse event adjudication on an ongoing basis throughout the study. CEC membership was comprised of three (3) interventional cardiologists who did not participate in the study.
A Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) was utilized for safety monitoring in this trial. No formal statistical rule for stopping the trial was defined, but comprehensive review of adjudicated adverse event reporting was performed during the study. DSMB membership consisted of three (3) interventional cardiologists, one (1) non-interventional cardiologist and one (1) biostatistician.

# 2. Follow-up Schedule
Arterial blood gas (ABG) readings were taken before and during $\mathrm{SSO_2}$ Therapy administration in order to ensure adequate blood oxygenation for the procedure. Routine physiological parameters including blood pressure, ACT levels, and heart rate and rhythm measurements were taken immediately after completion of PCI for all patients and at 30, 60, and 90 minutes during $\mathrm{SSO_2}$ infusion for the $\mathrm{SSO_2}$ Therapy group. Cardiac enzyme levels and diagnostic information were collected from blood samples obtained at 8, 16 and 24 hours post-PCI. Table 6 summarizes the required schedule for AMIHOT II study assessments.

## 3. Clinical Endpoints
The Primary Effectiveness Endpoint was infarct size as measured by percent of left ventricular mass, assessed by Tc-99m Sestamibi SPECT imaging at 14 days post PCI/stenting. The primary effectiveness endpoint was evaluated using a pre-specified superiority hypothesis.
The Primary Safety Endpoint was a composite safety endpoint based on the incidence of death, reinfarction, target vessel revascularization, and stroke occurring less than or equal to one month (30 days) after enrollment or until hospital discharge, whichever is later. The composite primary safety endpoint was evaluated using a pre-specified non-inferiority hypothesis. All Serious Adverse Events (regardless of device-relatedness) were reported.
Infarct size was measured by Tc-99 sestamibi SPECT imaging at 14(±7) days by the independent SPECT core laboratory at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN). Primary safety endpoint adjudication was performed by the independent Clinical Events Committee (CEC).
The AMIHOT II trial had a Bayesian statistical design that allows for the informed borrowing of data from the previously completed AMIHOT I trial. The AMIHOT I trial examined both inferior and anterior AMI patients treated within 24 hours. The Bayesian statistical model was pre-specified; the model required that the posterior probability for success to be greater than 95.0% for both the primary effectiveness and safety endpoints. An unbalanced randomization ration of 2.8:1 (SSO₂ Therapy: Control) was utilized to satisfy the power requirements of the statistical model.
## B. Accountability of PMA Cohort

Table 8 shows that the study groups are well matched in terms of catheterization laboratory procedural characteristics as well. Time interval data for door-to-balloon, symptom onset to emergency room arrival, and symptom onset to reperfusion times are longer for the $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ Therapy group. Other procedural characteristics, including infarct lesion location, baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), stent implantation, and incidence of rescue PCI cases showed similarity between the study groups. TIMI Grade 3 flow was more prevalent in the Control group pre-PCI, while Grade 0/1 flow was more prevalent in the $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ arm. TIMI Grade 3 flow was more prevalent in the Control arm after PCI.
# D. Safety and Effectiveness Results
# a. Effectiveness
The AMIHOT II study results demonstrated superiority of $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ Therapy compared to Control in median infarct size (26.5% of the left ventricular mass in the Control group; 20.0% in the $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ Therapy group). The Bayesian posterior probability of superiority is 95.1% for study success based on an analysis of available data; when the study results for missing data were imputed using pre-specified methods, the posterior probability of superiority is 96.9%. These results are shown below in Table 9.

## b. Safety
The primary safety endpoint evaluated for non-inferiority using a Bayesian hierarchical model that considered 30-day MACE data from the AMIHOT I and II studies. The primary safety analysis demonstrated statistical non-inferiority, with the Bayesian posterior probability of non-inferiority being 99.5%, successfully achieving the study endpoint. In the AMIHOT II trial, the 30-day MACE rates were 3.8% in the Control group and 5.4% in the SSO₂ group. The MACE component rate data are displayed in Table 11.

| SSO_{2} Therapy (n = 222) | 4 | 6 | 9 | 0 | 12 (5.4%) |
Overall 30-day adverse event data for the AMIHOT II trial are presented in Table 12.
During the 30-day follow-up period 118/222 (53.2%) patients in the SSO₂ Therapy group and 37/79 (46.8%) patients in the Control group experienced one or more adverse events. SSO₂ Therapy subjects received an additional 90 minutes of catheterization time, were administered increased anticoagulation therapy (heparin), and required either a larger single arterial access sheath or a second femoral arterial access site. These factors may have contributed to the higher adverse events rate observed in the SSO₂ arm (Table 12).

After completing improvements to the hardware console and simplifying the catheter delivery system, additional data for $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ Therapy was obtained from follow-up clinical studies.
## IC-HOT Clinical Trial
The IC-HOT clinical trial was designed to confirm the safety and efficacy results of $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ Therapy in 100-patient IDE study in the target patient population.
## A. Study Design
Patients were treated between February 16, 2016 and May 2, 2017. The data were collected through May 17, 2018 and included 100 patients. There were 15 investigational sites.
IC-HOT was a non-randomized, single-arm study. Subjects with anterior STEMI requiring stent placement in the proximal and/or mid LAD who met all inclusion and exclusion criteria were treated with primary PCI with stenting; if successful and uncomplicated, PCI with stenting was immediately followed with post-procedure delivery of $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ Therapy for a duration of 60 minutes.
An independent Clinical Events Committee (CEC) reviewed and adjudicated all key, pre-specified adverse events.
An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) reviewed and assessed overall study safety both during and at the conclusion of the study.
The Cardiovascular Research Foundation’s Angiographic and MRI Core Laboratories evaluated patient angiographic and MRI scan data for the IC-HOT study.

# 3. Clinical Endpoints
The primary endpoint for the IC-HOT study evaluated safety, using the 30-day rate of the composite Net Adverse Clinical Events (NACE). NACE events were the following:
Death (all-cause)
Reinfarction
- Target Vessel Revascularization (clinically driven)
- TIMI major or minor bleeding
- New onset severe heart failure or rehospitalization for heart failure
- Stent thrombosis (ARC definite or probable)
PMA P170027: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{29}
This composite endpoint includes safety categories that are of significance in contemporary AMI studies. The IC-HOT study used well-established clinical event definitions for the component NACE event categories.
The threshold for assessing success of the Primary Endpoint was that the observed 30-day NACE rate in IC-HOT be no greater than the 30-day NACE rate observed in the control arm of a contemporaneous study, INFUSE-AMI¹. The INFUSE-AMI study included a similar population of anterior wall STEMI patients with anticipated time to reperfusion less than five hours. INFUSE-AMI included a 2×2 treatment matrix with subjects receiving PCI w/stenting standard of care, with or without intracoronary abciximab and with or without intracoronary aspiration. The threshold rate of 10.7% was derived from a post hoc analysis of 112 INFUSE-AMI control subjects who had received neither aspiration nor intracoronary abciximab.
In addition, the specific 30-day NACE event categories of death, stent thrombosis, myocardial rupture, and bleeding were examined as individual events. Table 16 below shows FDA-recommended 30-day event rate benchmarks for these individual adverse events.
Table 16. FDA Guidelines for Acceptable Adverse Event Rates
| 30-Day NACE Event | IC-HOT Trial
FDA Guideline |
| --- | --- |
| Death | ≤3.0% |
| Stent Thrombosis | ≤3.0% |
| Myocardial Rupture | ≤1.0% |
| TIMI Major and Minor Bleeding | ≤3.0% |
## B. Accountability of the PMA Cohort
At the time of database lock, of the 100 patients enrolled in the IC-HOT study, 100% (n=100) of patients were available for analysis at the completion of the study, the 30-day post-procedural visit.
## C. Study Population Demographics and Baseline Characteristics
The patient baseline characteristics shown in Table 17 are consistent with an anterior STEMI population and the previously conducted AMIHOT II study.

# D. Safety and Effectiveness Results
As shown in Table 18, IC-HOT had a median door-to-balloon time of $62\mathrm{min}$ and a median time from symptom onset to reperfusion of $138.5\mathrm{min}$ . Patients were evenly distributed between proximal or mid-LAD target lesion location. Angiographic core laboratory analysis of TIMI flow grade data showed that $16.2\%$ of subjects remained with TIMI Grade 2 flow after PCI and stenting.

# 1. Safety Results
The results for the primary composite safety endpoint (Table 19) show that $7.1\%$ (7/98) of subjects experienced a qualifying NACE event within 30 days of the index procedure (two subjects were lost to follow up). The point estimate of NACE rate was below the threshold limit of $10.7\%$ .

# Propensity-Matched Comparison between IC-HOT and INFUSE-AMI
The IC-HOT study pre-specified that cardiac MRI-derived infarct size data be compared to results obtained in propensity-matched INFUSE-AMI control subjects. The analysis included 52 subjects with 4-day MRI scans and 78 subjects with 30-day cardiac MRI scans from INFUSE-AMI who were matched to IC-HOT subjects. Methodology for the propensity matching was not pre-specified, and covariate imbalances may exist within the analysis. In addition, lack of area at risk data for INFUSE-AMI is a limitation. Results for the comparison of infarct size are shown in Table 24. This pre-specified comparison failed to demonstrate, at either time point, a reduction in median or mean percent of infarct mass of myocardial mass when using adjunctive $\mathrm{SSO}_2$ .

# Changes in Left Ventricular Volumes, EF over 30 Days
The IC-HOT left ventricular changes over 30 days are displayed in Table 25 for patients with measurable scan data from both the day 4 and day 30 time points. Results are shown for all available data for day 4, day 30, and the per-patient changes from day 4 to day 30. Data were obtained for $n = 79$ subjects who had two readable scans. The median (Q1, Q3) changes over 30 days in EDV (ml) and ESV (ml) were -2.0 (-16.0, 9.0) and -7.6 (-16.9, 1.4), respectively, representing changes of -1.1% and -8.1%. Median results for IC-HOT subjects demonstrated a reduction in left ventricular volume over 30 days and no remodeling.
Ejection fraction results are also presented in Table 25, showing a median (Q1, Q3) EF recovery from day 4 to day 30 of $+3.4\%$ , with a 30-day median (Q1, Q3) EF (\%) of 45.2 (39.3, 51.3) (see Table 23).
