More Information

Yes
The summary explicitly states that ART-Plan supports "Al-based contouring" and "deep-learning based automatic segmentation" and "deep-learning based synthetic CT-generation".

No.
The device is a software application designed for image processing and visualization in radiation treatment planning, not for delivering therapeutic treatment itself.

No

This device is intended for treatment planning in cancer patients receiving radiation therapy, focusing on image display, visualization, contouring, and registration for treatment planning systems, rather than diagnosing a disease or condition.

Yes

The device is described as a "software application" and its functionalities are entirely software-based, involving image processing, AI-based contouring, registration, and pseudo-CT generation. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components that are part of the medical device itself.

Based on the provided information, ART-Plan is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • ART-Plan's Function: ART-Plan is a software application that processes and visualizes medical images (CT, PET-CT, MR, etc.) taken from the patient. It assists in radiation treatment planning by providing tools for image display, registration, segmentation (contouring), and pseudo-CT generation. It does not analyze biological specimens.

Therefore, ART-Plan falls under the category of medical imaging software or radiation therapy planning software, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

No
The letter does not explicitly state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for this specific device.

Intended User / Care Setting

Trained medical professionals including, but not limited to, radiation oncologists, dosimetrists, and medical physicists.
The device is intended to be used in a radiation therapy clinical setting, by trained professionals only.

Description of the training set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

Our training, validation and test cohorts are built from real-world retrospective data which were initially used for treatment of cancer patients. For the structures of a given anatomy for a given modality (MR or CT), two non-overlapping data sets were separated: the test patients (number selected based on thorough literature review and statistical power) and the train data. We make sure that those sets are non-overlapping and further split the train cases into train and validation sets and ensure enough train cases for the machine learning models to converge and achieve good performances of the validation set.

Sample Size:
Training: 299142 samples (0.8 of total)
Validation: 75018 samples (0.2 of total)
Total: 374160 samples

The total number of patients used for training (8736) is lower than the number of samples (374160). This is linked to the fact that one patient can be associated with more images (e.g. CT, MR) and that each image (anatomy) has the delineation of several structures (OARs and lymph nodes) which increases the number of samples used for training and validation.

Demographic distribution including gender, age and ethnicity
All data used for training of the models have been pseudo-anonymised by the centers providing data before transfer. Around 80% of the data used for training contain information on gender and age of the patients. In terms of gender, around 44% and 56% of our data (that contains this information) are from female and male patients, respectively. In comparison, in 2020 according to the Global Cancer Observatory, 48% and 52% of the cancer patients were female and male, respectively.

In terms of age, our data follows the same trend observed and reported in the US (SEER NIH), UK (Cancer Research UK) and worldwide (Global Cancer Observatory) for cancer incidence according to age, with more than 95% of the data coming from patients between 20 and 85 years old. Our data has a slight overrepresentation (8% points) for the ages between 54 and 60 years old, at the cost of a slight underrepresentation of patients in the age range between 20-34 (1.5% points) and above 85 (6.5% points) years old. In addition, following the general global (incl US) trend, our data also depicts a steep rise in the incidence rate from in the age group of 55-64 years old, with a median age of 63 years old (as compared to 66 years old in the US).

Although this information is not exhaustive, this analysis shows that the demographic distribution in terms of age and gender of the data used for training and validation of the models are well aligned with the incidence cancer statistics found for instance in US, UK and globally. This comes from the fact that real clinical data provided by medical facilities without any selection criteria (i.e. no discrimination or selection has been applied to the cases retrieved), leading to the demographic distribution including gender and age across the data is representative of the distribution in the clinic and thus of the cancer patient population in general.

An exception is noted for following models that are gender-dependent:

  • 100% of pelvis images for male pelvis model for automatic annotation are male patients
  • 100% of pelvis images for female pelvis model for automatic annotation are female patients
  • 100% of breast images for the breast automatic annotation are female patients
  • 100 % of pelvis images for automatic synthetic-CT generation are male patients

No pseudo-anonymized data included any information on the ethnicity.

On the "truthing" and data collection process:
The contouring guidelines followed to produce the contours were confirmed with the centers which provided the data. Our truthing process includes a mix of data created by different delineators (clinical experts) and assessment of intervariability, ground truth contours provided by the centers and validated by a second expert of the center, and qualitative evaluation and validation of the contours. This process ensures that the data used for training and testing can be considered representative of the delineation practice across centers and following international guidelines.

Device Description:

The ART-Plan application is comprised of two key modules: SmartFuse and Annotate, allowing the user to display and visualize 3D multi-modal medical image data. The user may process, render, review, store, display and distribute DICOM 3.0 compliant datasets within the system and/or across computer networks. Supported modalities cover static and gated CT (computerized tomography including CBCT and 4D-CT), PET (positron emission tomography) and MR (magnetic resonance).

Compared to ART-Plan v1.6.1 (primary predicate), the following additional features have been added to ART-Plan v1.10.0:

  • · an improved version of the existing automatic segmentation tool
  • · automatic segmentation on more anatomies and organ-at-risk
  • image registration on 4D-CT and CBCT images .
  • automatic segmentation on MR images .
  • · generate synthetic CT from MR images
  • a cloud-based deployment

The ART-Plan technical functionalities claimed by TheraPanacea are the following:

  • . Proposing automatic solutions to the user, such as an automatic delineation, automatic multimodal image fusion, etc. towards improving standardization of processes/ performance / reducing user tedious / time consuming involvement.
  • . Offering to the user a set of tools to assist semi-automatic delineation, semi-automatic registration towards modifying/editing manually automatically generated structures and adding/removing new/undesired structures or imposing user-provided correspondences constraints on the fusion of multimodal images.
  • . Presenting to the user a set of visualization methods of the delineated structures, and registration fusion maps.
  • . Saving the delineated structures / fusion results for use in the dosimetry process.
  • . Enabling rigid and deformable registration of patients images sets to combine information contained in different or same modalities.
  • Allowing the users to generate, visualize, evaluate and modify pseudo-CT from MRI images.

Information about your training dataset:

  • Summary test statistics or other test results including acceptance criteria or ● other information supporting the appropriateness of the characterised performance
    Acceptance criteria for performance of ART-Plan modules were established using performance ranges extracted from benchmark devices and alternative technologies in the literature. For an auto segmentation model to be judged acceptable, every organ included in the model must pass at least one acceptance criterion with success across the different testings it has been submitted to. These criteria are as follows:

  • A. The Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) is equal to or superior to the acceptance criteria set by the AAPM: DSC (mean)≥ 0.8. Or

  • B. The Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) is equal to or superior to inter-expert variability: DSC (mean)≥ 0.54 or DSC (mean)≥ mean (DSC inter-expert) + 5% Or

  • C. The clinicians' s qualitative evaluation of the auto-segmentation is considered acceptable for clinical use without modifications (A) or with minor modifications / corrections (B) with a A+B % above or equal to 85% considering the following scale:

A: the contour is acceptable for a clinical use without any modification B: the contour would be acceptable for clinical use after minor modifications/corrections

C: the contour requires major modifications (e.g. it would be faster for the expert to manually delineate the structure)"

For the synthetic-CT generation tool, the acceptance criteria are as follows:

  • A. A median 2%/2mm gamma passing criteria of ≥95%
  • B. A median 3%/3mm gamma passing criteria of ≥99.0%
  • C. A mean dose deviation (pseudo-CT compared to standard CT) of ≤2% in ≥88% of patients

Total number of individual patients images in the reported auto segmentation ● tools and independence of test data and training data

Our training, validation and test cohorts are built from real-world retrospective data which were initially used for treatment of cancer patients. For the structures of a given anatomy for a qiven modality (MR or CT), two non-overlapping data sets were separated: the test patients (number selected based on thorough literature review and statistical power) and the train data. We make sure that those sets are non-overlapping and further split the train cases into train and validation sets and ensure enough train cases for the machine learning models to converge and achieve good performances of the validation set.

Sample Size%
Training2991420.8
Validation750180.2
Total3741601

Total number of cases and samples images in the reported auto segmentation . results

The total number of patients used for training (8736) is lower than the number of samples (374160). This is linked to the fact that one patient can be associated with more images (e.g. CT. MR) and that each image (anatomy) has the delineation of several structures (OARs and lymph nodes) which increases the number of samples used for training and validation.

Demographic distribution including gender, age and ethnicity ●

All data used for training of the models have been pseudo-anonymised by the centers providing data before transfer. Around 80% of the data used for training contain information on gender and age of the patients. In terms of gender, around 44% and 56% of our data (that contains this information) are from female and male patients, respectively. In comparison, in 2020 according to the Global Cancer Observatory, 48% and 52% of the cancer patients were female and male, respectively.

In terms of age, our data follows the same trend observed and reported in the US (SEER NIH), UK (Cancer Research UK) and worldwide (Global Cancer Observatory) for cancer incidence according to age, with more than 95% of the data coming from patients between 20 and 85 vears old. Our data has a slight overrepresentation (8% points) for the ages between 54 and 60 years old, at the cost of a slight underrepresentation of patients in the age range between 20-34 (1.5% points) and above 85 (6.5% points) years old. In addition, following the general global (incl US) trend, our data also depicts a steep rise in the incidence rate from in the age group of 55-64 years old, with a median age of 63 years old (as compared to 66 years old in the US).

Although this information is not exhaustive, this analysis shows that the demographic distribution in terms of age and gender of the data used for training and validation of the models are well aligned with the incidence cancer statistics found for instance in US, UK and globally. This comes from the fact that real clinical data provided by medical facilities without any selection criteria (i.e. no discrimination or selection has been applied to the cases retrieved), leading to the demographic distribution including gender and age across the data is representative of the distribution in the clinic and thus of the cancer patient population in general.

An exception is noted for following models that are gender-dependent:

  • 100% of pelvis images for male pelvis model for automatic annotation are male patients
  • 100% of pelvis images for female pelvis model for automatic annotation are female patients
  • 100% of breast images for the breast automatic annotation are female patients
  • 100 % of pelvis images for automatic synthetic-CT generation are male patients

No pseudo-anonymized data included any information on the ethnicity.

23

In addition, automatic delineation of the device demonstrated equivalent performances between non-US and US population.

On the "truthing" and data collection process .

The contouring quidelines followed to produce the contours were confirmed with the centers which provided the data. Our truthing process includes a mix of data created by different delineators (clinical experts) and assessment of intervariability, ground truth contours provided by the centers and validated by a second expert of the center, and qualitative evaluation and validation of the contours. This process ensures that the data used for training and testing can be considered representative of the delineation practice across centers and following international guidelines.

On clinical subgroups, confounders and equipment details .

In general, confounding factors affecting health status present in the dataset could be related to patient clinical variables such as age, gender, ethnicity, economical and educational levels. As shown in "Demographic distribution including gender, age and ethnicity", our data is representative of the demographic cancer distribution in terms of gender and age. In addition, our models when appropriate (i.e. for gender independent anatomies) are shared across gender removing any further bias and augmenting substantially training cohorts.

Variables like ethnicity, economical and educational status that could be associated with obesity are further confounding factors that could impact global patient's anatomy and introduce bias in the performance of the obtained solution. To address this aspect, we have adopted a strategy that projects a patient's specific anatomy to common, multiple, different in size, full-body female and male patient templates, allowing a direct harmonization of data resulting in potential removal of bias of anatomical diversity across ethnic, economical and educational groups. Please note that this information (ethnic group, educational/economical level, etc.) is often not available in the pseudo-anonymised data and therefore performing statistical tests and increasing the number of operations allowing to separate correlations from causality is often unattainable.

Reqarding variables associated with treatment therapeutic and treatment implementation strategies; we can imaging devices and treatment devices being potential confounding factors as differences exist among CT and MR scanners manufacturers that could potentially introduce bias. We have addressed this concern through a statistical analysis of the different imaging vendors in EU & USA towards the creation of a data training, validation and testing cohort that globally appropriately represents the market share of the different vendors allowing generalization and removing hardware specific bias. In terms of treatment implementation, it should be noted that different guidelines exist and depending on the treatment device different therapeutic constraints and quidelines are applied. This is reflected in our database since different strategies and constraints are used depending on the choice of treatment (e.g external radiotherapy vs stereotactic treatment). Our solution, due to its concept of removing bias through projection to patient template anatomies as well as due to the component-based approach that is able to aggregate training data across imaging and treatment vendors, is able to address the maximum set of constraints. Therefore, we do not introduce any bias on the type of treatment that will be delivered (supporting any type of clinically conventionally adopted treatment from manufactures such as Varian, Elekta, Accuray, GE, Siemens, ViewRay & Zap

24

Surgical), providing direct means for customization of the constraints to be met at the clinical expert level and offering a representative coverage of all vendors in radiation oncology world-wide.

An exception is noted for following models that are vendor-, machine- or sequence-dependent:

  • MR annotation tool for pelvis and abdominal regions were trained on data from a 0.35T MR machine provided by ViewRay

  • synthetic-CT generation tool for pelvis was trained on data from a 0.35T MR machine provided by ViewRay

  • synthetic-CT generation tool and annotation tool for MR pelvis was trained on data from 1.5T Philips (Elekta) for T2 sequences, and might not work on T1-weighted images

Technological Characteristics:

A comparative review of the ART-Plan with the predicate device found that the technology, mode of operation, and general principles for treatment with this device were substantially equivalent as the predicate device.

    | Study Protocol and Report
    Qualitative Validation of
    Annotate in ART-Plan V1.10.0 | This test demonstrates that Annotate provides clinically acceptable contours, following qualitative measures, for the new version v.1.10. It serves as an additional evaluation to Section 18.21, and was done on a set of organs of all anatomies for both the CT and MR models. The benchmarking was done not only against the qualitative evaluation but also against the manual contours and a previously validated version of the models. All contours can be considered as acceptable as at least one criterion was met for each of the included structures. | Passed |

    Annotate Performances
    Summary (V1.10.0) | The purpose of this document is to describe all the testing protocols and testing results for validating the performance of the Annotate module.

Since all organs added in v.1.10.0 of Annotate have passed at least one test and met at least one acceptance criteria, all organs have been released. | Passed |
| Testing: pseudo-CT clinical
performance and comparison
to predicates (pelvis)
(V1.10.0) | The evaluation demonstrated the non-inferiority of using Annotate's pseudo-CT for treatment planning in terms of dosimetric measures as compared to CT-based treatment planning. Our pseudo-CT for pelvis has shown to produce results that meet the acceptance criteria derived from clinical practice and literature review as well as to perform at least as good as two FDA cleared devices for pseudo-CT generation. | Passed |

Autosegmentation
performances against
predicates
(V1.10.0) | This evaluation demonstrated the non-inferiority of using ART-Plan v1.10.0 for annotation of organs as compared to other devices which have been cleared for use in the US. In addition, ART-Plan v1.10.0 offers almost 3 times (2.72) more organs than MIM/ContourProtege AI, which represents an additional benefit to the users as compared to other devices. | Passed |
| Study Protocol & Report
(SPR): Autosegmentation | In this test, Annotate demonstrated equivalent performances between non-US and US population | Passed |
| performances on Thorax US
data
(V1.10.0) | for the Thorax localisation. Considering that this is
a worst case scenario of morphological
deformation due to factors such as age, gender or
weight in abdominal region, we claim that
considering any localisation included in the
intended use of ART-Plan, any autosegmentation
result demonstrated on a non-US population can
be generalized to a US population. Nonetheless,
TheraPanacea has performed an additional
evaluation on pediatric US-data covering all other
localisations included in the intended use of the
device. | |
| Clinical evaluation of automatic
segmentation on Pediatric
images
(V1.10.0) | Considering the fact that all the structures have
reached a percentage of 90% (>=85%) of A or B
for the MR brain model, and that 11/15 structures
passed with success for the CT model,
Therapanacea claims that the performance of auto
segmentation on said organs has been
demonstrated for the studied population.
These results highlight the high generalizability of
the commercial tool, initially made for adults, to
pediatric cases and its clinical implementation
feasibility. Note that this study served to
demonstrate that ART-Plan's Annotate, trained on
European data, can be generalised to the US
population given that it would be clinically
acceptable even for pediatric cases where a more
prominent change in size is expected than the one
between two adults from different countries. This
does not mean that TheraPanacea is claiming that
ART-Plan should be used for pediatric patients. | Passed |

Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted, and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices."

The software for this device was considered as a "major" level of concern, since a failure or latent design flaw could directly result in death or serious injury to the patient or a failure or provide diagnostic information that directly drives a decision regarding treatment or therapy, such that if misapplied it could result in serious injury or death.

Animal Studies

No animal studies were conducted as part of submission to prove substantial equivalence.

Safety and Effectiveness/Conclusion:

Based on the information presented in these 510(k) premarket notifications the TheraPanacea ART-Plan is considered substantially equivalent. The TheraPanacea ART-Plan is as safe and effective as the currently marketed predicate devices.

Based on testing and comparison with the predicate devices, TheraPanacea ART-Plan indicated no adverse indications or results. It is our determination that the TheraPanacea ART-Plan performs within its design specifications and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
