Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Study type: Two-arm, open-label, interventional study
Sample size: N=40 subjects were enrolled/treated in the study to be treated with BTL-899ST. N=29 subjects received treatment with the device and completed the 1-month follow-up and 38 subjects in total respected the 3- months follow-up and were examined and interviewed for possible adverse events. 29 subjects completed follow-up.
Key results:

  • The primary efficacy outcome measure was a minimum of 80% of subjects at 30-day follow-up evaluation to show thighs mean circumference reduction of ≥ 1 cm relative to the baseline assessment. Twenty-two of the twenty-nine subjects responded to treatment with the subject device. Forty-seven of the total 58 thighs treated had circumference reduction of ≤ 1 cm at 1-month follow-up relative to the baseline assessment.
  • All the twenty-nine subjects were either satisfied (9) or very satisfied (20) with the treatment results.
  • The participants also rated the improvement of their thighs at 1-month follow-up, with results leaning towards much improved.
  • The secondary endpoint was met with 100% of the participants in this satisfied with the therapy results. Furthermore, 90% of the subjects judged that the appearance of their thighs has been improved.
  • All the subjects found the therapy comfortable. Eight participants (28%) agreed and 21 (72%) strongly agreed with the statement "I found the treatment comfortable".
  • A pain rating scale ranging from zero (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) was used. Ten persons (34%) reported weak pain. Nineteen subjects (66%) reported no pain at all by choosing a score of zero.
  • One adverse event was recorded. A participant in ARM 1 was diagnosed with panniculitis on the inner side of one of the thighs. The AE was judged as related to the treatment and was mild.
  • Based on the clinical data of above mentioned clinical study, the BTL-899ST device demonstrated acceptable performance and safety profile of the device for non-invasive lipolysis and circumference reduction of thighs. Results further support substantial equivalence of the subject device compared to the predicate device.
