# VI. ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES
There are several other alternatives for the treatment of urinary urge incontinence (UUI). Each alternative has its own advantages and disadvantages. A patient should fully discuss these alternatives with his/her physician to select the method that best meets expectations and lifestyle.
Non-invasive treatment options should be discussed with all patients, including incontinence management strategies, bladder training, behavioral therapies, pelvic floor exercises, maintaining a healthy weight, and fluid consumption management.
Medications for treatment of UUI may also be considered and include antimuscarinic medications or beta-3 agonists. These medications are taken daily and may have short- or long-term side effects that may affect a patient's ability to take or tolerate them.
For patients that fail to have improvement, cannot tolerate or are not candidates for these treatment options, they may consider minimally invasive therapies. These include sacral neuromodulation, percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation, implantable tibial nerve
PMA P240031: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{6}
stimulation and/or intradetrusor botulinum toxin injection. Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation provides stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve to send signals to the bladder to reduce UUI episodes. It is an in-office procedure using a percutaneous needle; this technique requires multiple, on-going office visits. Implantable tibial nerve stimulation requires an in-office or hospital surgical procedure to place a stimulator along the posterior tibial nerve to stimulate the nerve. Patients may also receive injections of Botox into the bladder wall. This treatment lasts typically 6-9 months. In some cases, it may lead to urinary retention requiring self-catheterization until the treatment begins to wear off.
## VII. MARKETING HISTORY
The Neuspera Sacral Neuromodulation System has not been marketed in the United States or any foreign country.

The results from the chemistry, hematology and histopathology reports were all within normal limits. The histopathology data and lack of adverse events observed in this study supported the subject device safety for clinical use. |
| A non-GLP, Chronic, Awake, Urodynamic Baseline Study in Ovine | Assess the in vivo functional performance (i.e., ambulatory stimulation) of the sacral nerve neurostimulator for the study duration (110 days). A secondary objective was to monitor for any potential chronic safety issues (>2 month) related to the implant(s). | Two neurostimulators were implanted following the Implant Kit IFU developed for the pivotal study. Both implants could be successfully powered with the mid-field powering technology through at least one week post-operatively. The implant in the right S3 foramen remained functional through at least the first 14 days post-operatively and could be powered using a prototype Wireless Transmitter (same hardware, same core firmware) for up to at least 8 hours. The devices were still functional at 110 days post-implant. |

Additionally, a Usability study for the permanent system was conducted with patient users. This study included 20 lay people to test patient use flows. This validation included a knowledge assessment of warnings and cautions, some of which were defined as critical tasks. The validation testing shows that the manuals, training, and system use steps were adequate to demonstrate that the device can be used by the intended users without serious use errors or problems, for the intended uses and under the expected use conditions. Users were able to complete the critical tasks with no use errors or problems that could result in serious harm.
A separate Usability study for the permanent system was conducted as a knowledge assessment for clinicians. For this study, 16 clinicians were recruited who watched a training video focused on the permanent system and associated critical tasks. These steps included the identification of correct and incorrect placement of the implant. The clinicians then were asked to complete a knowledge assessment. This validation testing showed that the video was sufficient to train clinicians on the correct placement of the device and the identification of critical tasks for the permanent system. To address some use-related errors, clinicians are required to be trained on the use of the device. Additionally, trained Field Clinical Engineers (FCEs) must be present at each trial procedure and permanent implant to ensure that clinicians understand both the device and the procedure. FCE training consists of one-on-one didactic training with the FCE manager, shadowing at least two procedures with an experienced FCE, and then being proctored by an experienced FCE prior to attending procedures alone. FCE clinical checklists will be required to be completed for each procedure.
X. SUMMARY OF PRIMARY CLINICAL STUDY
The applicant performed a clinical study to establish a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of sacral electrical stimulation with the Neuspera SNM System for treatment of the symptoms of urinary urge incontinence (UUI) in patients who have failed, could not tolerate, or were not a candidate for more conservative treatments in the US and EU under IDE # G190064. Data from this clinical study were the basis for the PMA approval decision. A summary of the pivotal clinical study, Clinical Study of

Neuspera’s Implantable Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS) System in Patients with Symptoms of Urinary Urgency Incontinence (UUI) (the SANS-UUI study), is presented below.
## A. Study Design
Subjects were enrolled in the pivotal study beginning on June 8, 2022, and treated between September 28, 2022, and December 5, 2023. The database for this PMA reflected data collected through January 16, 2025, at the 12-month data lock, and included 242 subjects with 130 of those subjects undergoing attempted implant placement. There were 34 investigational sites activated, 31 investigational sites that enrolled and 25 investigational sites that implanted subjects.
The study was a prospective, multi-center, single-arm clinical study designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Neuspera SNM System. The study included patients with UUI who have failed, could not tolerate, or were not a candidate for more conservative treatments.
## 1. Clinical Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria

2. Follow-up Schedule
All subjects were scheduled to return for follow-up examinations at 7, 14, 21, and 28-days after implantation. Subjects then returned for clinic evaluation at 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 and 12 months post implant, then every six months thereafter, estimated to be up to 36 months. Subjects were scheduled for a telephone visit at 5.5 months post implant procedure.
Preoperatively, subjects underwent cytoscopy, urodynamics, and sacral anatomy assessment. Postoperatively, a neurostimulator position confirmation image was performed at Day 28 or 42 along with a response rate assessment. The objective parameters measured during the study included a 72 hour bladder diary that was collected at baseline and 6 and 12 months after implantation. Subjects also completed daily stimulation diaries for the first 12 months and a weekly

{34}
stimulation diary after 12 months. Additionally, the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Overactive Bladder Quality of Life (ICIQ-OABqol) and Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) questionnaires were performed at Month 3, 6 and 12 months after implantation. Adverse events and complications were recorded at all visits.
The key timepoints are shown below in the tables summarizing safety and effectiveness.
## 3. Clinical Endpoints
With regards to safety, the primary safety endpoint was defined as the incidence of device-related severe adverse events (SAEs) through the 6-month post-implant visit. Safety was evaluated by review of all adverse events that occurred during the study.
With regards to effectiveness, the primary effectiveness endpoint was defined as the percentage of all subjects with an attempted implant who experience ≥50% reduction in the number of UUI episodes at 6 months post-implant, relative to the number of UUI episodes at baseline (therapy responder). This endpoint was also evaluated at 12-months post-implant.
The following secondary effectiveness endpoints were evaluated at 6 and 12 months:
- Change from baseline in mean number of UUI episodes
- Change from baseline in ICIQ-OABqol score
- The percentage of subjects who experience an improvement in ICIQ-OABqol of at least 10 points
- Change in urgent episodes per day from baseline. Calculated across all diary episodes with at least mild urgency
- Change in average number of daily voids from subjects with at least 8 voids at baseline
With regard to success/failure criteria, greater than 50% of subjects with an attempted implant should have achieved greater than 50% reduction in UUI episodes at 6 and 12 months compared to baseline for the study to be considered a success with respect to effectiveness.
## B. Accountability of PMA Cohort
At the time of database lock, of 242 subjects enrolled in the PMA study, 130 subjects had implants attempted and 128 subjects were successfully implanted. 104 subjects were available for analysis at the completion of the study, the 12-month post-operative visit.

The analysis sets were pre-specified in the protocol as follows:
- Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Analysis Set: The ITT analysis set is defined as all subjects who have signed informed consent.
- Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) Analysis Set: The mITT analysis set is defined as all subjects for whom an initial implant is attempted.
- Implanted Analysis Set: The Implanted analysis set is defined as all subjects who are implanted with the Neuspera SNS system.
- Responder Analysis Set: The Responder analysis set is defined as subjects who are implanted with the system and are defined as responders at the Day 28 or Day 42 clinic visit post-implant.

- Per Protocol (PP) Analysis Set: The Per Protocol analysis set is defined as implanted subjects who have no protocol deviations that may significantly affect the primary endpoints. The determination of subjects excluded from the Per Protocol analysis set was made prior to analysis.
- Worst Case Analysis Set: The Worst Case analysis set assumes that all subjects with missing data were failures.
## C. Study Population Demographics and Baseline Parameters
The demographics of the study population are typical for a pivotal study performed in the US.
There were 242 consented subjects in 29 US clinical sites and 2 sites in Europe. At 25 sites, 130 subjects had implants attempted, and 128 subjects were successfully implanted. Table 16 shows the baseline demographics of the mITT subjects.

*Note: Multiple options are allowed to be selected for the same patient. In this table, 116 mITT subjects out of 130 had a diagnosis of UUI for their incontinence history. An additional eight (8) subjects had mixed incontinence with UUI predominating, indicating that they also had UUI. The remaining six (6) subjects that did not have UUI or mixed incontinence did have an OAB diagnosis; given that the subjects also had to have four UUI episodes in 72 hours, they would need to have OAB with associated UUI. Consequently, all subjects in the mITT analysis had a history of UUI.
Table 18 below presents mITT subjects categorized by severity of their UUI symptoms at baseline. Subjects in the mITT analysis set had a baseline of 4.5 (± 2.5 SD) UUI episodes per day.
