Device Story
BioMimics 3D Vascular Stent System is a self-expanding Nitinol stent with a helical centerline design, delivered via a 6F-compatible catheter. The device is used by physicians in an endovascular setting to treat peripheral artery disease. The stent is deployed at the lesion site to improve luminal diameter. The helical shape is intended to accommodate vessel morphology. Clinical outcomes are monitored via duplex ultrasound, ABI, and walking tests. The device benefits patients by restoring blood flow, reducing claudication, and improving functional status. The system includes radiopaque markers for fluoroscopic guidance during placement.
Clinical Evidence
Pivotal MIMICS-2 study: prospective, multi-center, single-arm trial (N=271). Primary safety endpoint (freedom from MAE at 30 days) was 99.6% (lower 97.5% CI 97.7%), exceeding the 88% performance goal. Primary effectiveness endpoint (12-month primary stent patency) was 73.0% (lower 97.5% CI 67.1%), exceeding the 66% performance goal. Secondary outcomes included improvements in Rutherford Clinical Category, ABI, and Walking Impairment Questionnaire scores. No stent fractures reported at 12 months. Supplemental Mimics study (randomized, N=60) provided additional safety/performance data.

# Description of the Delivery System
The BioMimics 3D Vascular Stent System is shown in Figure 2 and consists of the inner shaft (2) and outer shaft (5) secured together via the Tuohy Borst valve (3). The operating length of the stent delivery system (SDS) is $113~\mathrm{cm}$ . All stent sizes are delivered in the same delivery system, which is compatible with 6 French introducer sheaths and recommended for delivery over a $0.035''$ guidewire.
The inner shaft (2) and Luer hub (1) acts as the guidewire lumen. The outer shaft includes a bifurcated Luer (4) with a Tuohy Borst valve (3). The bifurcated Luer allows for flushing through the system while the valve is opened to facilitate stent deployment. The BioMimics 3D Stent (7) is crimped and loaded into the space between the inner shaft and the outer sheath at the distal end of the SDS. Radiopaque markers are positioned proximal (6) and distal (8) to the stent to facilitate stent placement at the treatment site.

# VI. ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES
Atherosclerotic disease of the superficial femoral and proximal popliteal arteries can be treated by a range of alternative practices and procedures. Non-invasive approaches include exercise and drug therapy. Minimally-invasive approaches include endovascular intervention using percutaneous transluminal angioplasty using a plain or drug-coated balloon, stents (bare metal, drug-eluting and covered) and various modalities of atherectomy. Invasive approaches include surgical bypass. Each approach has its own advantages and disadvantages. A patient should discuss these alternative approaches with a physician to select the method that best meets expectations and lifestyle.

# X. SUMMARY OF PRIMARY CLINICAL STUDY
A prospective, multi-center, single arm clinical study (“MIMICS-2 Study”) was conducted to establish a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of stenting with the BioMimics 3D Vascular Stent System for peripheral artery disease of the femoropopliteal arteries in the US, Germany and Japan under IDE #G140182. Data from this clinical study were the basis for the PMA approval decision. Results from an additional clinical study (“MIMICS Study”) performed in Germany were used to evaluate the subject device. A summary of the MIMICS-2 clinical study is presented below, followed by the Mimics Study in Section XI.
## A. Study Design
Patients were treated between June 29, 2015 and October 18, 2016. The database for this PMA reflected data collected through November 8, 2017 and included 271 patients at 43 investigational sites (31 in US; 6 in Germany; and 6 in Japan).
The study was a prospective, multi-center, single-arm clinical study. Safety and effectiveness outcomes in the MIMICS-2 Study were compared to established performance goals defined by VIVA Physicians, Inc. for the clinical evaluation of safety and effectiveness of Nitinol stents used in the treatment of symptomatic disease of the femoropopliteal artery. The primary safety endpoint was a composite of major adverse events (MAE) comprising death, any major amputation performed on the index limb or clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (CDTLR) through 30 days. The primary effectiveness endpoint was primary stent patency rate at 12 months as defined as no significant reduction in luminal diameter (i.e. < 50% diameter stenosis) since the index procedure, or where angiography reveals >50% stenosis, or intervening CDTLR.
Statistically powering the primary effectiveness endpoint at the 85% level required 230 subjects, evaluable at 12 months. For a sample size of 230 subjects, the power for the primary safety endpoint was >99%, keeping the overall study power at approximately 85%. To declare trial success, both primary endpoint hypotheses were required to be satisfied, thus no adjustment to alpha was necessary to account for multiple endpoints. Allowing for 15% attrition, 271 subjects were enrolled in the MIMICS-2 Study to obtain 230 evaluable subjects.
Independent core laboratories conducted reviews of duplex ultrasound, X-ray and angiographic images from index procedure and follow-up visits. In addition, all adverse events potentially contributing to determination of primary outcome measurement, were reviewed by an independent and experienced Clinical Events Committee (CEC). Events were evaluated as to a relationship with the BioMimics 3D stent placement procedure and/or the BioMimics 3D stent and whether any revascularization events during follow-up were clinically-driven. A range of secondary outcome measures were defined in the MIMICS-2 Study Protocol including longer-term assessment of safety and stent patency, together with clinical and functional outcomes.

# 2. Follow-up Schedule
All patients were scheduled to return for follow-up examinations at 30-days $(\pm 7)$ , 12 months $(365$ days $\pm 30)$ and 24 months $(730$ days $\pm 60)$ postoperatively. A 36-month $(1095$ days $\pm 60)$ surveillance visit shall be completed at the clinic or remotely by telephone. At follow-up visits to the site, subjects are assessed for vascular patency (Duplex ultrasound); clinical status (medical history / physical exam; adverse event assessment; ankle-brachial index; Rutherford clinical category); exercise capability and capacity (walking impairment questionnaire; 6-minute walk test (in a sub-group of investigational sites)), and X-ray of the treated area.
A summary of the schedule of MIMICS-2 Study follow-up assessments is provided in Table 6. Adverse events and complications were recorded through the Month 12 visit. Thereafter, only Major Adverse Events (MAE), Serious Adverse Events (SAE), revascularizations in the target leg and unanticipated adverse device effects (UADE) were recorded.

9 X-ray imaging was permitted at a facility remote to the investigational site.
10 WIQ obtained 30 days prior to index procedure through the peri-procedural period (e.g., within 24 hours of index procedure.)
## 3. Clinical Endpoints
The primary safety endpoint was measured as a composite of independently-adjudicated major adverse events (MAE) comprising death, any major amputation performed on the index limb, or CDTLR through 30 days. The primary safety objective is achieved if the one-sided lower 97.5% Agresti-Coull confidence limit for the proportion of subjects treated with BioMimics 3D who are free from MAE through 30 days, is greater than the VIVA Physicians' performance goal of 88%.
The primary effectiveness endpoint was primary stent patency rate at 12 months. Patency was defined as no significant reduction in luminal diameter (i.e. < 50% diameter stenosis) since the index procedure or intervening CDTLR. Luminal diameter was determined by the independent core laboratory. Loss of primary stent patency is deemed when Doppler ultrasound (DUS) peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) >2.0, or where angiography reveals >50% diameter stenosis, or where the subject undergoes CDTLR. When both DUS and angiography imaging modalities were available, angiography took precedence. Success in the primary effectiveness objective was established if the one-sided lower 97.5% Agresti-Coull confidence limit for the proportion of subjects treated with BioMimics 3D that continue to have treated segment patency through 12 months was greater than 66%.
With regard to success/failure criteria, both primary endpoint hypotheses were required to be satisfied, thus no adjustment to alpha was necessary to account for multiple endpoints.
## Secondary Endpoints
The clinical study evaluated the following secondary endpoints:
- Contribution of individual MAE rates to the primary safety endpoint;
- MAE rate at Month 12 and contribution of individual event rates to the overall MAE;
- Rates of all adverse events and serious adverse events not included in primary safety endpoint determination;
- Core lab reported technical success (≤50% residual diameter stenosis at index procedure);
- Comparison of Rutherford Clinical Category at Baseline, Day 30, Months 12 and 24;
- Comparison of 6-minute walk test at Baseline, Day 30, Months 12 and 24 (selected sites);
- Comparison of ankle-brachial index at Baseline, after stenting and Months 12 and 24;
- Comparison of the walking impairment questionnaire at Baseline, after stenting and Months 12 and 24; and
- Core lab determined stent fracture rate at 12, 24 and 36 Months.

## C. Study Population Demographics and Baseline Parameters
The demographics of the study population are typical for a pivotal study performed in the US. Baseline demographics, medical history and risk factors were generally similar across the populations enrolled in the US (N=162), Japan (N=31), and Germany (N=78) without evidence of any significant difference in risk factors for Nitinol stenting between the cohorts.
Data for the consolidated MIMICS-2 Study population are summarized in Table 8 (subject demographics and relevant medical history) and Table 9 (clinical status).

Table 10 summarizes the baseline lesion characteristics determined by the core laboratory, together with quantitative vascular angiographic data for the target lesion in all enrolled subjects at the index procedure. There was 100% enrollment compliance with de novo target lesion eligibility. Lesions were moderately to severely calcified in 45.9% of subjects according to the Peripheral Arterial Calcium Scoring System (PACSS) and 30.0% had total occlusions. Mean lesion length was 81.2 mm and the mean BioMimics 3D stented length was 112.3 mm. Technical success (defined as ≤ 50% diameter stenosis in final stent angiogram) was reported by the core laboratory as 100%.

# D. Safety and Effectiveness Results
# 1. Safety Results
The analysis of safety was based on the cohort of 269 ITT subjects who were available for the 30-day evaluation. The key safety outcomes for this study are presented below in Table 11. Serious adverse events are reported in Table 12.
The primary safety endpoint was defined as the composite of MAE comprising death, any major amputation performed on the index limb, or CDTLR through Day 30. All site-reported adverse events were reviewed by the independent CEC and those events reported or potentially qualifying as MAE, or interventions performed on the target limb, were adjudicated.
The observed rate of freedom from MAE through Day 30 was $99.6\%$ (268/269) based on the ITT population. Two subjects were lost to follow-up without any event reported, and without an ascertainment of status past the Day 23 lower window for the Day 30 visit, these subjects were ineligible for the primary safety endpoint analysis according to the Protocol and Statistical Analysis Plan. One subject had a CEC-adjudicated MAE, a CDTLR, three days after the index procedure, following abrupt closure of the treated segment. No additional adverse events were reported or adjudicated as MAE through Day 30. The data supporting the determination of the primary safety endpoint are presented in Table 11.
Table 11: Summary of Major Adverse Events in MIMICS-2 Study through 30 Days and 12 Months
| Event | Rate of Freedom from Event in ITT Cohort (n/N) | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| | 30 Days | 12 Months1 |
| Major Adverse Event | 99.6% (268/269) | 86.4% (223/258) |
| • Death | 100% (269/269) | 98.8% (253/256) |
| • Major Amputation | 100% (269/269) | 100% (254/254) |
| • Clinically-driven Target Lesion Revascularization | 99.6% (268/269) | 87.5% (224/256) |
| 1Subjects appear in the denominator if (i) they have sufficient follow-up (at least 12 months less 30 days), or (ii) they have had the event of interest (each event is considered separately). | | |
The lower $97.5\%$ one-sided Agresti-Coull confidence limit for the proportion of subjects treated with the BioMimics 3D Vascular Stent System that were free from MAE at Day 30 was $97.7\%$ , which exceeds the performance goal of $88\%$ . The primary safety endpoint of the MIMICS-2 Study was therefore met.
PMA P180003: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{20}
The CEC-adjudicated rate of MAE occurring on or before Day 365 was $13.6\%$ (35/258), as summarized in Table 11. There were three deaths (one noncardiovascular: metastatic disease; two cardiovascular: both heart failure) within 365 days $(1.2\%; 3/256)$ . Additionally, 32 subjects had CDTLR within 365 days $(12.5\%; 32/256)$ . No major amputations were reported.
For those MAE that were adjudicated by CEC as CDTLR, the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis in Figure 3 estimates that the 12-month freedom from CDTLR after treatment with BioMimics 3D is $87.6\%$ .

Figure 3: Kaplan-Meier Survival Estimate for CEC-Adjudicated CDTLR through 12 Months
Adverse effects that occurred in the PMA clinical study
Table 12 provides a summary of all serious adverse events reported through 12 months. A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as an adverse event that:
- Led to death,
- Led to a serious deterioration in the health of the subject, that either resulted in:
$\mathrm{o}$ a life-threatening illness or injury, or
o a permanent impairment of a body structure or a body function, or
in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
medical or surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening illness or injury or permanent impairment to body structure or a body function, or
- Led to fetal distress, fetal death or a congenital abnormality or birth defect.

# 2. Effectiveness Results
PMA P180003: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{23}
There were 248 ITT subjects evaluable for the primary effectiveness endpoint, primary stent patency at 12 months. Primary patency was defined as no significant reduction in luminal diameter (< 50% diameter stenosis) since the index procedure. Loss of patency was determined by an independent core laboratory when the peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) exceeds 2.0, or where angiography revealed > 50% diameter stenosis, or where the subject had a CDTLR. CDTLR is adjudicated by the Clinical Events Committee as revascularization of the target lesion with objective evidence of recurrent symptoms associated with an angiographic determination of ≥50% stenosis and new distal ischemic signs (worsening ABI or worsening Rutherford Category associated with the index limb); or angiographically-determined ≥70% diameter stenosis in the absence of objective evidence of recurrent symptoms. Where both imaging modalities were available, angiography took precedence.
Based on core laboratory determination, the observed primary stent patency rate in the ITT population at Day 395 was 73.0% (181/248). The primary effectiveness endpoint results are summarized in Table 14.
Table 14: MIMICS-2 Study Primary Effectiveness Endpoint Result (ITT Subjects)
| Endpoint | Rate (n/N) [95% CI] |
| --- | --- |
| Primary stent patency rate at 12 Months (end of window, Day 395) | 73.0% (181/248) [67.1%, 78.1%] |
The lower 97.5% one-sided Agresti-Coull confidence interval for the proportion of subjects treated with BioMimics 3D who continued to have treated segment patency through 12 months was 67.1%, which exceeded the performance goal of 66%. The primary effectiveness endpoint of the MIMICS-2 Study was therefore met.
A further analysis of MIMICS-2 primary patency data was conducted using a Kaplan Meier survival estimate of the probability of a subject being free from loss of primary stent patency through 12 months. In this ITT analysis, subjects were censored at the date of their DUS follow-up, or at the time of Study exit due to either death, consent withdrawal or lost to follow-up. Subjects confirmed by the core laboratory to have primary stent patency at their 12-month 12 DUS, were censored at the end of the 12-month-12 follow-up window – (Day 395). The output of this Kaplan-Meier analysis for primary patency presented in Figure 4 indicates the probability of freedom from loss of primary patency at 12 months (Day 395) after treatment with BioMimics 3D is 73.3%. For Day 360, a commonly used Kaplan-Meier metric for comparative review of peripheral endovascular interventional studies, the KM freedom from loss of primary patency value is 82.7%.

One subject was a protocol eligibility criteria deviation, due to minor tissue loss at baseline (RCC 5 = 0.4%; 1/271). No subject was either asymptomatic (RCC 0) or complained of mild claudication (RCC 1).
At 30 days, for the 268 subjects assessed, there was a mean improvement in RCC of 2.0 ± 1.1 categories, and no subject was worse compared to baseline. At 12 months, for the 254 subjects with matched assessments, there was a maintained improvement over baseline of 1.9 ± 1.1 categories. An improvement of ≥1 category was reported in 86.9% of subjects at 30 days and in 85% at 12 months. Five subjects (2%, 5/254) had deteriorated compared to baseline at 30 days, and 4 of those due to worsening of both the treated (index) leg and the non-treated leg.

# 6-Minute Walk Test
In accordance with the protocol, the 6-minute walk test was conducted among a subgroup of investigational sites. Baseline walking test data were available from 22 subjects from 8 sites, $8.1\%$ (22/271). Using a matched-baseline analysis, the mean walking distance increased $49.1\%$ for the cohort of 21 subjects at 30 days and $29.9\%$ for the cohort of 15 subjects at 12 months, indicating a continued clinical benefit arising from treatment with BioMimics 3D.
# Ankle-brachial Index (ABI)
The ABI was measured at baseline, 30 days, and 12 months. At baseline the median ABI for 257 subjects was 0.67 with a mean 0.7. At 30 days, in the 253 subjects assessed, the subjects improved with a median of 0.29 and mean of 0.27. At 12 months, the improvement was maintained in the 236 subjects assessed with a median 0.24 and mean 0.22.
# Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ)
Subjects treated with BioMimics 3D also demonstrated sustained improvement in all categories within the WIQ Questionnaire over the 12-month follow-up interval, maintaining the improvement seen at 30 days. Using a matched baseline comparison, there was a $0.30 \pm 0.30$ improvement in the overall WIQ score at 30 days (259/264 subjects) and $0.29 \pm 0.30$ (248/253) at 12 months. Data from the component elements of the WIQ (Walking Distance; Walking Speed and Stair Climbing) are presented in Table 16.
Table 16: MIMICS-2 Study - Walking Improvement Questionnaire, Changes from Baseline (ITT Subjects)
| Mean Change from Baseline ± SD (N) | 30 Days | 12 Months |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Overall Score | 0.30 ± 0.30 (259) | 0.29 ± 0.30 (248) |
| Walking Distance Score | 0.37 ± 0.37 (264) | 0.37 ± 0.38 (253) |
| Walking Speed Score | 0.29 ± 0.30 (263) | 0.26 ± 0.31 (251) |
| Stair Climbing Score | 0.25 ± 0.35 (260) | 0.24 ± 0.35 (249) |
# Stent Integrity
The core laboratory conducted a review of X-ray imaging of the treated area for 229/271 subjects for which imaging collected at the 12-month visit was available. No fracture was reported in any study stent.
# Poolability of Results
Poolability of study subjects was investigated by comparing primary outcomes across investigational sites and regions. A chi-square test was conducted without detecting significant difference among sites regarding the primary patency endpoint at 12 months $(p = 0.52)$ . Poolability of study subjects is not an issue for the safety endpoint at 30 days as there was only one MAE. In conclusion, there does not appear to be

{27}
heterogeneity across sites, and the pooling of data over sites appears to be appropriate.
## 4. Subgroup Analyses
The following preoperative characteristics were evaluated for potential association with outcomes: gender, cilostazol use, country, 5 mm stent or not, and overlapping stents.
### Gender Analysis
The observed 30-day MAE free rate was 99.4% (178/179) for males and 100.0% (90/90) for females, with only one MAE reported for any subject during this assessment window. The observed 12-month primary patency rate was 76.8% (129/168) for males and 65.0% (52/80) for females.
### Cilostazol
The observed 30-day MAE free rate was 100.0% (18/18) for subjects taking cilostazol and 99.6% (250/251) for those not taking cilostazol. The observed 12-month primary patency rate was 86.7% (13/15) for subjects taking cilostazol and 72.1% (168/233) for those not taking cilostazol.
### Country of investigational site location
The observed 30-day MAE free rate was 100% (31/31) for Japan, 99.4% (159/160) for US and 100% (78/78) for Germany. The observed 12-month primary patency rate was 67.7% (21/31) for Japan, 71.1% (101/142) for US, and 78.7% (59/75) for Germany.
### 5 mm Stent
The number of subjects evaluable at 12-months that were treated with 5 mm diameter BioMimics 3D stents was small (n=33), relative to those treated with 6 mm or 7 mm stents (n=215). The observed 12-month primary patency rate was 72.7% (24/33) for subjects treated with 5 mm stents and 73.0% (157/215) for those treated with 6 mm or 7 mm stents.
### Overlapping Stents
A relatively small number of subjects in the MIMICS-2 Study (12.5%; 34/271) required placement of a second BioMimics 3D stent. The observed 30-day MAE free rate was 99.6% (235/236) for subjects treated with single and 100.0% (33/33) for those treated with overlapped stents. The use of overlapped stents was primarily to treat longer lesions ≥ 120 mm (65%; 22/34), prior to the mid-study introduction of the 150 mm BioMimics 3D stent. The core laboratory reported mean stented segment lengths of 105.1 mm for single stents and 162.2 mm for overlapping stents. Across all stented segment lengths, the observed primary patency in subjects evaluable at 12 months, was higher for single stent (75.9%; 164/216) than in overlap stented segments (53.1%; 17/32). It is of interest that among 55 subjects with long stented segments ≥ 150 mm, where poorer outcomes are typically expected, the observed 12-

The applicant has adequately disclosed the financial interest/arrangements with clinical investigators. The information provided does not raise any questions about the reliability of the data.
## XI. SUMMARY OF SUPPLEMENTAL CLINICAL INFORMATION
The Mimics Study was a prospective, multicenter, randomized (2:1 BioMimics 3D Stent vs. a straight Nitinol control stent) evaluation of safety and effectiveness in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease undergoing femoropopliteal intervention, conducted in Germany. The study investigated the safety and performance of the BioMimics 3D Stent in improving luminal diameter in the treatment of symptomatic de-novo or restenotic lesions up to 100 mm in length in native superficial femoral and/or proximal popliteal arteries with reference vessel diameters ranging from 3.5 – 7.0 mm. Stent sizes of 5.0 – 7.0 mm (diameter) and 60 – 125 mm (length) were available for this study.
## A. Mimics Study Design
A lead-in cohort of 10 subjects was enrolled at one investigational site as a Phase I cohort to gain preliminary acute interventional safety experience with the BioMimics 3D Vascular Stent System. After review of the clinical safety experience of the system in this preliminary cohort, the study was transitioned into Phase II, progressively increasing to a total of 8 investigational sites in Germany, in which a further 76 subjects were enrolled with 2:1 randomization to either BioMimics 3D or the Control stent, such that 50 subjects received treatment with BioMimics 3D Stents. The Mimics study was
PMA P180003: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data

{29}
not powered to detect a difference between the two cohorts with respect to either safety or performance.
The comparator arm was enrolled specifically to provide a point of anatomical, mechanical and hemodynamic reference for analysis of supplementary outcome measures, including X-ray imaging of the treated area with the limb flexed at the knee, or extended. In total, in Phase I and II studies, 61 BioMimics 3D Stents were placed in 60 subjects.

# C. Study Endpoints and Results
The primary safety endpoint was defined as a composite of major adverse events (MAE) comprising death, amputation, or target lesion revascularization (TLR) through 30 days. The performance goal (PG) specified that $88\%$ of subjects should be free from MAE through 30 days. All 60 subjects remained free from MAE at 30-days.
The primary performance endpoint specified a PG of $67\%$ freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CDTLR) at 6-months post index
PMA P180003: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{32}
procedure. All Phase I (10 subjects) and Phase II (50 subjects) treated with the BioMimics 3D Stent were free from CDTLR at 6 months.
MIMICS Phase II Study subjects were followed up to 24 months. Analysis of data from the extended follow up period showed that the proportion of patients treated with BioMimics 3D who maintained stent patency (PSVR ≤ 2.0) at 12 and 24 months was 75% and 72% respectively. A Kaplan-Meier survival analysis estimated freedom from loss of primary stent patency for subjects treated with BioMimics 3D at 80% Year 1 and 72% Year 2, compared with 71% and 55% for the Control stent. Kaplan-Meier analysis of independently adjudicated clinical events showed that freedom from CDTLR was 91% for BioMimics 3D vs. 92% for the Control stent at 12 months and 91% versus 76% at 24 months. Core laboratory review of X-ray imaging of the stented area, through 2 years of follow-up, revealed no fractures at any timepoint in any BioMimics 3D Stent.
## XII. 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 Circulatory System Devices Panel, an FDA advisory committee, for review and recommendation because the information in the PMA substantially duplicates information previously reviewed by this panel.
## XIII. CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM PRECLINICAL AND CLINICAL STUDIES
### A. Effectiveness Conclusions
Non-clinical and pre-clinical testing conducted on the stent and delivery system demonstrated that the performance characteristics meet the product specifications. The multi-center MIMICS-2 clinical study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the BioMimics 3D Vascular Stent System. The primary effectiveness endpoint was defined as the 12-month primary stent patency as determined by core-laboratory adjudicated DUS, angiography, and/or freedom from CDTLR. The observed primary effectiveness endpoint of primary patency rate met the performance goal of 66% with a rate of 73.0% [97.5% Agresti-Coull confidence interval: 67.1%, 78.1%]. The effectiveness data are further supported by the first Mimics Study, a randomized, controlled trial with a Nitinol straight stent comparator. The Mimics Study also included core laboratory determination of primary patency. The 12-month patency outcomes are numerically comparable (73.0% for MIMICS-2 and 75.0% for Mimics) albeit within the limitation of differences in the study populations. Regarding secondary endpoints, patients showed improvements in Rutherford category, ABI, 6-minute walk, and WIQ.
### B. Safety Conclusions
The risks of the device are based on non-clinical laboratory and animal studies, as well as data collected in the clinical studies described above. The safety of the BioMimics 3D Vascular Stent System was demonstrated in the MIMICS-2 Study through
PMA P180003: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
Page 33
{33}
achievement of the 30-day primary safety endpoint, freedom from MAE, a result also achieved in the Mimics Study. The MAE rate comprised of death, any major amputation performed on the index limb, or CDTLR through Day 30. The lower 97.5% one-sided Agresti-Coull confidence limit for the proportion of subjects treated with the BioMimics 3D Vascular Stent System that were free from MAE at Day 30 was 97.7%, which exceeds the performance goal of greater than 88%. No evidence of stent fracture was noted in the MIMICS-2 Study through 12 months or in the Mimics study through 24 months, both based on independent core laboratory review.
## C. Benefit-Risk Determination
The probable benefits of the device are also based on data collected in clinical studies conducted to support PMA approval as described above. The results of the MIMICS-2 Study provides a basis for concluding with reasonable assurance that the benefits of using the BioMimics 3D Vascular Stent System in patients undergoing interventional treatment for symptomatic femoropopliteal disease, and in accordance with the labeling and Instructions for Use, outweigh the risk of illness or injury.
The primary potential benefit is the improvement or restoration of blood flow in the superficial femoral artery and/or proximal popliteal arteries. In this study, patients demonstrated sustained clinical improvement in functional status and Rutherford category when compared to pre-procedure assessments.
The frequency and types of the adverse events reported throughout the pivotal clinical study are in alignment with what might be expected in the studied patient population and therapeutic area using comparable treatments. No unanticipated device- or procedure-related adverse events were reported in the study.
In conclusion, given the available information above, the data support that the probable benefits outweigh the probable risks for the BioMimics 3D Vascular Stent when used for the treatment of symptomatic de novo or restenotic lesions in superficial femoral artery and/or proximal popliteal arteries with reference vessel diameters between 4.0 and 6.0 mm and lesion lengths up to 140 mm.
## 1. Patient Perspectives
Patient perspectives considered during the review included Quality of Life assessments, specifically the WIQ. Scores for treated patients improved based on preprocedure assessments. Improvements were also noted in the 6-minute walk test, ABI, and Rutherford category. It is expected that patients would place value on this treatment and are willing to accept the risks of this treatment to achieve the benefit.
## D. Overall Conclusions
The clinical and non-clinical data in this application support the reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of this device when used in accordance with the indications for use. The clinical study met the pre-specified safety and effectiveness endpoints, and the patients demonstrated quality of life improvements. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the benefits of use of the device for the target population outweigh the risk

of illness or injury when used as indicated in accordance with the labeling and the Instructions for Use.
