2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Clinical Study (SWIFT PRIME):
    • Total Randomized Subjects: 196 (98 in each group: IV t-PA alone vs. IV t-PA + Solitaire)
    • Analysis Cohort (after exclusions): 161 subjects (84 in the IV t-PA + Solitaire™ group and 77 with IV t-PA only). Further refined to 144 subjects for primary and secondary efficacy endpoints after additional exclusions.
    • Data Provenance: Global, multicenter. The study was a prospective, randomized, open, blinded endpoint (PROBE) clinical study (IDE G120142).

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

The document does not explicitly state the exact number of experts or their specific qualifications (e.g., "radiologist with 10 years of experience") used to establish the ground truth for the clinical study's endpoints. However, it does mention:

  • Blinded evaluation of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) for neurological disability outcomes. This implies that the mRS scores, which serve as a critical component of the ground truth for effectiveness, were assessed by experts who were blinded to the treatment arm.
  • Clinical Events Committee adjudication for adverse events. This indicates a panel of experts reviewed and categorized adverse events.
  • Core Laboratory assessed data for symptomatic ICH, infarct volume, and reperfusion ratio. This suggests specialized facilities with expert staff were responsible for these assessments.

While the specific count and detailed qualifications are not provided, the involvement of blinded evaluators, a Clinical Events Committee, and a Core Laboratory indicates that ground truth was established through expert assessment according to established protocols.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

The document mentions "Clinical Events Committee adjudication" for adverse events. While it doesn't specify a 2+1 or 3+1 method, "adjudication" implies a process where a committee of experts reviews and resolves discrepancies in event classification or assessment. It suggests a structured review by multiple parties, but the exact number of reviewers per case or tie-breaking mechanism is not detailed.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

There is no indication that a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, or any mention of AI assistance. This study compared a medical device (Solitaire™ 2 Revascularization Device) with or without IV t-PA, not an AI system.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done, as this document is about a mechanical thrombectomy device, not an algorithm or AI.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The ground truth for the clinical study was established using a combination of:

  • Clinical Outcomes Data: Primarily, the 90-day global disability assessed via the blinded evaluation of Modified Rankin Scale (mRS). This is a widely accepted functional outcome scale often based on trained interviewer assessment.
  • Imaging-based Assessments: Volume of cerebral infarction, reperfusion ratio, and arterial revascularization (TICI 2b or 3) assessed by a Core Laboratory. This implies expert interpretation of medical images.
  • Adjudicated Adverse Events: Reviewed and categorized by a Clinical Events Committee.

8. The sample size for the training set

The document does not describe the development or training of an algorithm or AI. Therefore, there is no training set sample size mentioned. The clinical study (SWIFT PRIME) is a comparative effectiveness study for a medical device in patients.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

As there is no training set for an algorithm or AI described in the document, this question is not applicable.

Study Design

SWIFT PRIME (Solitaire™ FR or Solitaire™ 2 With the Intention For Thrombectomy as Primary Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke) is a global, multicenter, two-arm, prospective, randomized, open, blinded endpoint (PROBE) clinical Investigation Device Exemption (IDE) study comparing neurological disability outcomes (defined by mRS) in Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) patients who are treated with either IV t-PA alone or IV t-PA in combination with Solitaire™ FR or Solitaire™ 2 mechanical thrombectomy intervention. Subjects receiving IV t-PA within 4.5 hours of symptom onset were randomized 1:1 to mechanical thrombectomy with Solitaire within 6 hours of onset, or to continuation with IV t-PA alone. Within this group, the Analysis cohort was

{12}------------------------------------------------

defined as those subjects who were administered IV t-PA within 3 hours of symptom onset.

Sample Size

A total of 196 subjects were randomized into the SWIFT PRIME Study (98 in each group). The SWIFT PRIME study allowed IV t-PA use beyond 3 hours, although IV t-PA is not approved in the United States beyond 3 hours. Patients treated with IV t-PA beyond 3 hours did not factor strongly in the evaluation of the Solitaire 2 revascularization device and have been excluded from the analyses. The resulting Analysis Cohort consists of 161 subjects (84 in the IV t-PA plus Solitaire™ group and 77 with IV t-PA only). Additionally, 17 subjects in the IV t-PA plus Solitaire™ group were excluded from the primary and secondary efficacy endpoint analyses. These 17 subjects either received carotid stenting and/or angioplasty or were treated in a manner inconsistent with the Solitaire Instructions for Use. Therefore, the primary and secondary efficacy endpoint analyses cohort consists of 144 subjects.

Statistical Analysis

Standard summary statistics were calculated for all study variables and subject data were analyzed according to the group to which they were randomized. For continuous variables, statistics included means, standard deviations, medians and ranges. Categorical variables were summarized in frequency distributions.

For the primary efficacy endpoint, statistical significance was declared using bounds predefined in the group sequential analysis plan, which accounts for multiplicity due to interim analyses. Elsewhere, one-sided statistical tests having p-values less than 0.025 were deemed significant while two-sided tests having p-values less than 0.05 were deemed significant.

For adverse event reporting, the primary analysis is based on subject counts, not event counts. Both subject counts and event counts are presented in tabular summaries of results.

Study Endpoints

The primary effectiveness endpoint of the study is 90-day global disability assessed via the blinded evaluation of modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Secondary clinical efficacy endpoints of the study are:

  • Death due to any cause at 90 days.
  • Functional independence as defined by mRS score < 2 at 90 days. .
  • Change in NIHSS score at 27 ± 6 hours post randomization. ●

The secondary technical efficacy endpoints of the study are:

  • Volume of cerebral infarction as measured by a CT or MRI scan at 27 ± 6 hours post randomization.
  • Reperfusion measured by reperfusion ratio on CT or MRI scan 27 ± 6 hours post ● randomization
  • Arterial revascularization measured by TICI 2b or 3 following device use.

Conclusion

In the SWIFT PRIME Study (IDE G120142) the proportion of patients functionally independent (mRS 0-2) at the 90-day visit was higher in the IV t-PA plus Solitaire™ device group than the IV t-PA only group (62.7% of patients versus 36.8% of patients, respectively).

The Trevo clinical data includes a clinical trial comparing 96 randomly selected patients treated with the Trevo device with IV t-PA and medical management of blood pressure and disability symptoms to 249 patients who had only t-PA and medical management. In this study, more patients treated with the Trevo device were functionally independent (ranging from no symptoms to slight disability) at three months after their stroke, compared to patients who were not treated with the Trevo device (29% of patients versus 19% of patients, respectively).

Both the SWIFT PRIME clinical study and the Trevo clinical data evaluated functional independence at 3 months using mRS 0-2 as a measurement for success. The data from the SWIFT PRIME Study demonstrates that the Solitaire™ 2 Revascularization device, in combination with IV t-PA, is substantially equivalent to the Trevo XP ProVue Retriever, in combination with IV t-PA, in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke to reduce disability in patients with a persistent proximal anterior circulation large vessel occlusion and smaller core infarcts who have first received intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA).

§ 882.5600 Neurovascular mechanical thrombectomy device for acute ischemic stroke treatment.

(a)
Identification. A neurovascular mechanical thrombectomy device for acute ischemic stroke treatment is a prescription device used in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke to improve clinical outcomes. The device is delivered into the neurovasculature with an endovascular approach, mechanically removes thrombus from the body, and restores blood flow in the neurovasculature.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) The patient contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(2) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate that the device performs as intended under anticipated conditions of use, including:
(i) Mechanical testing to demonstrate the device can withstand anticipated tensile, torsional, and compressive forces.
(ii) Mechanical testing to evaluate the radial forces exerted by the device.
(iii) Non-clinical testing to verify the dimensions of the device.
(iv) Non-clinical testing must demonstrate the device can be delivered to the target location in the neurovasculature and retrieve simulated thrombus under simulated use conditions.
(v) Non-clinical testing must demonstrate the device is radiopaque and can be visualized.
(vi) Non-clinical testing must evaluate the coating integrity and particulates under simulated use conditions.
(vii) Animal testing must evaluate the safety of the device, including damage to the vessels or tissue under anticipated use conditions.
(3) Performance data must support the sterility and pyrogenicity of the patient contacting components of the device.
(4) Performance data must support the shelf-life of the device by demonstrating continued sterility, package integrity, and device functionality over the specified shelf-life.
(5) Clinical performance testing of the device must demonstrate the device performs as intended for use in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke and must capture any adverse events associated with the device and procedure.
(6) The labeling must include:
(i) Information on the specific patient population for which the device is intended for use in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, including but not limited to, specifying time from symptom onset, vessels or location of the neurovasculature that can be accessed for treatment, and limitations on core infarct size.
(ii) Detailed instructions on proper device preparation and use for thrombus retrieval from the neurovasculature.
(iii) A summary of the clinical testing results, including a detailed summary of the device- and procedure-related complications and adverse events.
(iv) A shelf life.
