Intended Use

The Nerivio Migra is indicated for acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in patients 18 years of age or older who do not have chronic migraine. It is a prescription use, selfadministered device for use in the home environment at the onset of migraine headache or aura.

Device Description

The Nerivio Migra is a wearable, battery-powered device that is controlled by a mobile application. The system delivers low energy electrical pulses to the upper arm for 45 minutes per treatment, after which the device turns off automatically.

The device hardware consists of an armband intended to be worn on a user's upper arm. The armband contains the electronic circuitry and the battery in a plastic storage case as well as two electrodes that are attached to the interior of the armband and placed against the user's skin.

The device is operated and controlled via software that is installed and run on a user's personal mobile device such as a mobile phone or tablet. The device hardware communicates with the mobile application through a Bluetooth protocol. This mobile application software allows the user to control the stimulation intensity from 0 to 100% (representing intensity levels of 0-40mA), to start or stop the stimulation program, and to view device status such as the device's connection state, a progress bar for stimulation duration, battery level, and user notifications.

The patient is instructed to adjust the intensity to the strongest stimulation level below the perceived pain level. Treatments with Nerivio Migra are intended to be self-administered by the user immediately after the onset of migraine headache or aura.

The basic pulse structure is biphasic, with symmetrical interleaving phases and rectangular shape. The amplitude shift signal alternates between a nominal maximum and a nominal minimum of the amplitude signal. The maximal output current is 40mA. The assumed impedance is 1K ohm +/- 500 ohms.

SUMMARY OF CLINICAL INFORMATION

Study Overview

The 252-subject pivotal study was a prospective, one-to-one randomized, double-blind, sham controlled multi-center study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Nerivio Migra. The neurostimulation amplitude for the treatment group was based on each subject's stimulation threshold. The sham group received different, "no-activation pseudo-amplitude" stimulation. which reached the subject's stimulation threshold. The study site personnel and investigator were blinded to the subject's therapy allocation. Subjects recorded migraine severity before treatment, 2 hours and 48 hours following the treatment using various metrics. Safety was assessed using adverse event data collected during the study.

Study Endpoints

Safety:

Adverse event types and rates for all enrolled subjects.

Effectiveness:

The primary outcome measure was the percentage of participants reporting a reduction in their pain level without use of medication from severe or moderate to mild or no pain or from mild to no pain within 2 hours in the "test treatment" excluding the run-in treatment which was the first in-study migraine attack.

The secondary effectiveness outcome measures are the proportion of participants who did not take medications and reported:

{7}------------------------------------------------

    1. A reduction in their most bothersome symptom (MBS) at 2 hours post-treatment. MBS may be nausea, photophobia, or phonophobia- as defined by each participant at the beginning of the treatment.
  • A reduction in pain and their MBS at 2 hours post-treatment 2.
    1. Freedom from pain at 2 hours post-treatment
    1. Freedom from their MBS at 2 hours post-treatment.

Protocol (study design)

The 252-subject study included three phases: Phase One - Roll In, Phase Two - Parallel arm, double-blind treatment phase, and Phase Three - Optional Open-label extended treatment.

In the first ("roll-in") phase, participants were asked to keep a headache diary for one month in which all migraines were documented. Eligible participants were trained to use the smartphone migraine diary application for up to one month. Only participants who properly reported at least 2 and no more than 8 migraine attacks continued to the next phase.

The second phase was a double-blind treatment phase, in which eligible participants were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to either active stimulation (treatment group) or sham pseudostimulation (sham group). All participants underwent training on how to use the device and how to use the diary and feedback application. During this training, an optimal individual stimulation intensity level ("well perceived but not painful") was identified for each participant (treatment and sham). Participants in both groups were then asked to treat their migraines for 6 weeks, or up to 4 qualified migraine attacks, using the device with the identified stimulation intensity (±5%). Participants were asked to treat each migraine within 60 minutes of symptom onset. The participants used the application to record pain scores at baseline, 2 hours post-treatment and 48 hours post-treatment, to record the presence/absence of associated migraine symptoms (nausea, photophobia, phonophobia), to define their Most Bothersome Symptom (MBS) prior to each treatment and to record if there is a relief in their MBS following the treatment. The first reported treatment was considered a "run-in test" treatment, aimed to verify the participants use the device properly, and was only included in the safety analysis. The effectiveness evaluation was performed on the first fully treated (30-45 minutes) attack with 2 hours post-treatment assessment following the "run-in test" treatment (hereby termed test treatment).

Phase Three was an optional, open-label extension phase. Following the completion of doubleblind treatment phase of the study, all participants were offered to participate in a 2-month openlabel period using an active device.

Sham Design

The sham device produced a perceptible signal, in which the sponsor implemented pseudo-random pulses, which have a relatively long duration in order to generate an "electrical sensation" for the participant and enable him/her to adjust the intensity as done in the active program.

Overall, both the active and the sham devices generated a similar sensation. Participants did not distinguish between the treatment and sham device.

{8}------------------------------------------------

The first time participants were introduced to the device was in the randomization visit. which occurred after the "roll-in" phase. During the "roll-in" phase, the participants only used the mobile application (without the device) to report their migraine attacks.

Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP)

  • . Analysis sets
      1. Intent to treat analysis set (ITT)

The ITT analysis set included all participants who were randomized. In accordance with the ITT principle, all participants randomized were kept in their originally assigned group.

2. Modified intend to treat analysis set (mITT)

The mITT analysis set included all participants who were randomized and treated at least one attack (excluding the run-in test attack) within 1 hour from the attack onset.

  1. Per-protocol analysis set (PP)

The PP analysis set included participants who were randomized and for whom the first qualified attack (excluding the "run-in" test attack) conformed with the protocol instructions:

  • . The treatment starts within one hour from attack onset.
  • . No rescue medication (or pain medication) is consumed within 2 hours after start of treatment.
  • . The treatment was not stopped early (i.e., before the first 30 minutes).
  • No pain medication consumption 24 hours prior to the onset of the migraine ●
  • Statistical analysis of the analysis sets:
    • The ITT analysis set served as the main set for safety assessments 1.
      1. The mITT analysis set was used for all effectiveness assessments.
    • The primary and secondary effectiveness assessments were performed on the mITT 3. analysis set and also on the PP and ITT analysis sets as a sensitivity analysis to assess the effect of protocol deviation and discontinuations
  • Safety Analysis ●

Adverse event (AE) rates were presented on all enrolled subjects, overall as well as by treatment group. The rates of events and type were presented and compared between groups using the Fisher's Exact test.

  • Blinding Assessment
    The success of the blinding of subjects was assessed at the end of the study visit using a blinding assessment questionnaire. Subjects were asked whether they thought they were in the active or sham group or if they did not know using a three-point scale (active, sham or I don't know).

{9}------------------------------------------------

  • Effectiveness analysis ●

Primary effectiveness analyses:

The primary outcome measure was the proportion of participants with a decrease in headache pain from severe or moderate to none or mild to no pain within 2 hours in the test treatment. The percentage of participants reporting such headache pain reduction without rescue medications was assessed in both study groups and was compared using a chi-squared test and a Fisher's exact test.

Secondary effectiveness analyses:

The secondary effectiveness variables were compared with a chi-squared test and a Fisher's exact test.

Study Results

  • Subject Disposition
    A total of 296 participants were recruited to the study, 252 participants were randomized at the end of the roll-in phase. Of these, 126 eligible participants were randomly assigned to receive active Nerivio Migra device (active group) and 126 were randomly assigned to receive sham Nerivio Migra device (sham group). Among the 252 randomized participants, 7 participants withdrew from the study (4 in the active group and 3 in the sham group); 3 participants (1 from the sham group and 2 from the active group) withdrew from the study due to intolerance to the sensation of the stimulation (two participants withdrew during the randomization visit after the training, so the devices were never used at home), and 4 participants (2 in the active group and 2 in the sham group) were lost to follow up. A total of 237 participants completed at least one treatment (the run-in treatment) and 202 participants completed the test treatment within one hour from symptom onset and reported a pain level at 2 hours (Figure 1). A modified intent to treat (mITT) group was defined as all randomized subjects who treated at least one attack (excluding the "run-in test" attack) within 1 hour from the attack onset.

. Safety endpoint

Safety analyses were performed on all 252 participants from the ITT population. 773 treatments were performed during the study (including the run-in treatment). The percentage of participants with at least 1 adverse event (regardless of its suspected cause) was 13.5% (34/252) and was comparable across treatment groups (15.1% (19/126) in the active group and 11.9% (15/126) in the sham group, prister's=0.5807). The incidence of device-related adverse events was low (3.6%), and similar between treatment groups (active group: 6/126 [4.8%]; sham group: 3/126 [2.4%]; prishers=0.4998). Notably, there were no unanticipated adverse device effects.

23 device-related adverse events were reported during 773 treatments (2.7%), 14 in the active group and 9 in the sham group. All device-related adverse events reported were mild in severity, did not require treatment and were resolved. No serious adverse events related to the device were reported. No statistically significant differences were found between treatment groups in either the type or rate of adverse events during the double-blind treatment phase (Table 4).

● Primary effectiveness outcome

In the mITT analysis set (i.e., all participants who were randomized and treated at least one attack [excluding the run-in test attack] within 1 hour from the attack onset), the proportion of participants achieving a pain-reduction response 2 hours after treatment in the test treatment was 66.7% (66/99) in the active group compared with 38.8% (40/103) in the sham group (therapeutic gain 27.9%; pchi-squared <0.0001; Table 5). Similar results were obtained in the per-protocol analysis and in the ITT analysis (Table 5). The active treatment was also superior to the sham for the reduction of pain for each one of the possible baseline pain levels (severe, moderate, and mild).

The percentage of participants who took rescue medication within 2 hours post-treatment was small in both groups (4/103=3.9% in the sham group and 1/99=1.0% in the active group). For the analysis of this endpoint, patients who used rescue medication before or within the 2 hours post-treatment were considered failures.

  • Secondary effectiveness endpoints
    In the mITT dataset, the active stimulation treatment was more effective than the sham treatment for the proportion of participants achieving 2 hours of MBS relief (46.3% vs. 22.2%; p=0.0.0008) and for the proportion of participants who achieved both headache pain reduction and MBS relief at 2 hours post-treatment (40.0% vs. 15.2%; p=0.0004. For pain-free 2 hours post-treatment, the active device was superior to the sham device, with statistical significance (37.4% vs. 18.4%; p=0.0036). There was no significant difference between active and sham treatment for MBS-free 2 hours post-treatment (40.7% vs. 36.4%; p=0.0.55) (Table 6).

Aura – subgroup analysis ●

To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment as a function of presence/absence of aura, the pain reduction and pain free responses at 2 hours post-treatment were evaluated in the mITT set for attacks with aura and attacks without aura.

The proportion of participants with aura achieving a pain-reduction response 2 hours after treatment was 63.2% and 35.9% in the active and sham groups, respectively. The proportion of participants without aura achieving a pain-reduction response 2 hours after treatment in the aura group was 67.5% and 39.8% in the active and sham groups, respectively. The proportion of participants with aura achieving pain-free response 2 hours after treatment was 36.8% and 20.0% in the active and sham groups, respectively. The proportion of participants without aura achieving pain-free response 2 hours after treatment in the aura group was 37.5% and 18.1% in the active and sham groups, respectively

  • . Blinding assessment
    At the end of the double-blind treatment phase, participants were asked to indicate to which group they thought they were assigned to (active, sham, do not know).

The results indicate that a significant percentage of the population did not know to which group they were assigned (44.6% [50/112] in the active group and 41.9% [49/117] in the sham group). In the active group, 23.2% (26/112) of the participants believed they had received the active device and 32.1% (36/112) believed they had received the sham device. In the sham group, 50.4% (59/117) believed they had received the sham device and 7.7% (9/117) believed they had received the active device. Furthermore, after adjusting the primary endpoint for the participants' responses, the difference between the groups was still highly statistically significant (p=0.0039, mITT analysis set). The p-value of the

{14}------------------------------------------------

Breslow-Day test for homogeneity of the odds ratios across the "responses" groups (i.e., active, sham, do not know) was 0.9114, confirming that the treatment assigned response by the participants did not meaningfully impact the primary endpoint results.

  • Study limitations
      1. Study population did not include chronic migraineurs. Chronic migraineurs may respond different to the Nerivio Migra
      1. Study population did not have any other implanted electrical devices.
      1. Effectiveness of the Nerivio Migra was evaluated only when used within one hour from migraine symptoms onset.

{16}------------------------------------------------

  • a) Instructions for use, including the typical sensations experienced during treatment:
  • b) A detailed summary of the electrical stimulation output, and the device technical parameters, including any wireless specifications;
  • c) A shelf life for the electrodes and reuse information; and
  • d) Instructions on care and cleaning of the device.

BENEFIT/RISK DETERMINATION

The risks of the device are based on nonclinical studies (e.g., biocompatibility, electrical safety, EMC, and software testing) as well as data collected in the clinical study described above, The results of the nonclinical testing demonstrated that the device performed as per specifications and the results did not raise concerns regarding risks to the patients.

The safety analyses of the clinical study were performed on all 252 participants from the ITT population. 773 treatments were performed during the study (including the run-in treatment). The percentage of participants with at least 1 adverse event (regardless of its suspected cause) was 13.5% (34/252) and was comparable across treatment groups (15.1% (19/126) in the active group and 11.9% (15/126) in the sham group. pFisher's=0.5807). The incidence of device-related adverse events was low (3.6%), and similar between treatment groups (active group: 6/126 [4.8%]; sham group: 3/126 [2.4%]; pFisher's=0.4998). All adverse events were mild, anticipated, and resolved within 24 hours without any intervention or sequelae. Specifically reported were sensation of warmth, numbness of arm, redness, itching, tingling, pain and muscle spasm

Should any adverse reactions occur, the Nerivio Migra therapy level can be reduced (e.g., turning down stimulation level or shut down the device). In addition, the device is easily removed from the patient's upper arm.

The probable benefits of the device are based on data collected in the clinical study. There are statistically and clinically meaningful probable benefits of the device. All endpoints reached a statistically significance difference in favor of active over sham except Secondary Endpoint 3 (MBS disappearance at 2 hours post-treatment). The summary of results presented below uses the ITT analysis population.

  • Primary endpoint: The study showed that active stimulation with Nerivio Migra is more . effective than sham stimulation for the treatment of migraine with or without aura. 66.7% of participants in the active group showed pain reduction at 2 hours post-treatment compared to 39.4% in the sham group (pFisher's<0.0002); thus, the therapeutic gain in the active group of pain reduction at 2 hours post-treatment was 27.3%.
  • Secondary endpoints: The active treatment was favored in the following secondary ● endpoints.
    • 0 At Secondary Endpoint 1, most bothersome symptom (MBS) relief at 2 hours post -treatment, the therapeutic gain between groups was 24.3% in favor of active (pFishers=0.0009). This change may be of clinical significance.

{17}------------------------------------------------

  • At Secondary Endpoint 2, pain reduction and MBS relief at 2 hours post-O treatment, the therapeutic gain between groups was 25% in favor of active (pFishers=0.0005). This change may be of clinical significance.
  • At Secondary Endpoint 3, MBS disappearance at 2 hours post-treatment, the o therapeutic gain of 3.6% in favor of active did not reach statistical significance (pFishers=0.6399). This change is not of clinical significance.
  • At Secondary Endpoint 4, pain freedom at 2 hours post-treatment, the therapeutic o gain was 19.1% in favor of active (pFishers=0.0037). This change is not of clinical significance.

Thus, Nerivio Migra provides clinically meaningful relief from migraine pain and associated symptoms.

Patient Perspectives

Patient perspectives considered for the Nerivio Migra included an assessment of patients' impression. At the end of the study, participants received a post-study questionnaire to assess their satisfaction with the device. Favorable responses to device ease of use were obtained in 91.3% of the participants.

Benefit/Risk Conclusion

In conclusion, given the available information above, the data support that for acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in patients 18 years of age or older who do not have chronic migraine, the probable benefits outweigh the probable risks for the Nerivio Migra. The device provides benefits and the risks can be mitigated by the use of general controls and the identified special controls.

CONCLUSION

The De Novo request for the Nerivio Migra is granted and the device is classified under the following:
