1 Sculptra- P030050 Herbert Lerner, MD Division of General, Restorative and Neurological Devices Plastic and Reconstructive Surgical Devices Branch FDA March 25, 2004

2 Sculptra- Indication for Use Sculptra is intended to correct shape and contour deficiencies resulting from facial fat loss (lipoatrophy) in people with human immunodeficiency virus.

3 Material Sculptra is a sterile solution consisting of: PLLA Sodium Carboxy-methyl cellulose Mannitol Sterile Water

7 Sculptra Physical Characteristics Molecular weight 40 – 50 thousand PLLA particles irregular shape 40-63 microns ± 2 hours required for optimal suspension Physically chemically and microbiologically stable for 72 hours after suspended.

8 Sculptra Resorption Kinetics No weight loss for 24 weeks in phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 at 37 degrees C. 19% weight loss at 50 degrees C. Foreign material seen histologically after intradermal implantation for 90 days in rats.

9 Resorption rate is function of molecular weight, crystallinity, and particle size. Compact PLLA rods of 95,000 Daltons were implanted subcutaneously in rats. 1 month 19% degraded 3 months40% degraded 6 months56% degraded Published In-Vivo Resorption Studies on PLLA

10 Sculptra New-Fill is the name of the device as it is commercially available outside the US. Sculptra is the intended name of the device as it will be marketed in the US. For this review, the use of these names is interchangeable. The components of the two are identical.

11 SCULPTRA STUDY DESIGN Presented are 5 investigator-sponsored studies. 2 studies are from Europe 3 studies are from the US All were single center studies No study was a randomized, controlled, or blinded study as we are used to seeing for a PMA All were Open label TCT (Total Cutaneous Thickness)

30 BASELINE TO WEEK 12 Chelsea & Westminster

31 Common Finding In Both Studies- Nodule at injection site 52% VEGA 31% C&W Discussion- Onset average up to 218 days (9 to 748) Most reported as mild and not visible No histological data available

32 US Studies APEX-001 Investigator Sponsored Compassionate Use Study Open label, uncontrolled, non-randomized study 100 patients 1-6 treatment sessions (average-3) 1-8 cc of New-Fill per treatment session Demographics similar to previous studies HIV+ 14 years Mean age 44.5 82/96 patients Caucasian

33 Inclusion Criteria HIV+ Demonstrable photographic lipoatrophy Exclusion Criteria Active Infection, Kaposi’s sarcoma or Herpes on the face Facial injections within last 3 months Treatment with interferon or steroids US Studies

34 Safety results- Adverse events considered mild 6 nodules reported in 85 patients at 3 weeks 39 nodules in 70 patients seen at 12 months Efficacy results- High patient satisfaction- 8.8/10 High investigator rating – from 3.2 to 1.36 (lower score is better) US Studies

35 APEX002 Investigator sponsored IDE HIV+ 100 patients Average of 3.5 treatments/patient Similar demographics Average time HIV+ 11.9 yrs Average years HAART therapy- 13 US Studies

36 Adverse Events- mild Soreness and nodules 6 nodules in 99 patients 19 pts. With injection site soreness 2 pts. With transient fever High patient satisfaction- Scores went from 3.71 to under 1 (lower score is better) US Studies

37 US Study- Hermosa Beach Open label, uncontrolled, non-randomized Similar demographics and treatment schedule 1-6 treatments/patient Up to 6 cc per treatment Average time HIV+ 13 years Average time HAART- 9 years US Studies

38 Inclusion/Exclusion criteria Similar to Apex studies HIV+ Lipoatrophy Infections of face, Kaposi's sarcoma Treatment with interferon or steroids Uncontrolled DM, lactic acidosis US Studies

39 Endpoints To evaluate the quantifiable improvement in facial wasting after serial intradermal injections of New-Fill Safety- In repeated treatments Efficacy Durability of New-Fill Psychological impact on patients US Studies

40 Results Adverse events-mild 8 nodules in 87 patients High patient satisfaction Average increase TCT- 6mm @ 6 mos. Average mm initial7.44 Average mm-end of tx.13.92 Average mm- 6 mos.13.22 Average mm- increase 5.78 US Studies

41 Conclusion- Overall Safety In general, the majority of treatment related events are mild pain, bruising and swelling at the injection site. Device events are generally palpable subcutaneous nodules (up to 50%) No major AE’s reported

42 Conclusion- Overall Efficacy TCT analysis in VEGA study demonstrates increased TCT. Dermal thickness changes in the C&W study also demonstrate significant enhancement of dermal thickness Photographic evidence of sustained efficacy is shown

43 Quality of Life assessments show improvement from the baseline Conclusion- Overall Efficacy

44 No masking or use of validated severity scale Total Skin Thickness (TCT) was used as surrogate endpoint for improved appearance Statistically significant (p<0.001) increases in TCT observed in Vega and C&W Studies Treatment effect was independent of time on HAART, baseline CD4 counts, or baseline skin thickness Increase in skin thickness correlated pictorially with improved appearance Statistical Summary

45 Thank you

46 Panel Question-1 21 CFR 860.7(d)(1) states that there is a reasonable assurance that the device is safe when it can be determined that the probable benefits to health from use of the device for its intended uses, when accompanied by adequate instructions for use and warnings against unsafe use, outweigh any probable risks. Considering the data in the PMA, please comment on whether there is a reasonable assurance that the device is safe.

47 Panel Question- 2 21 CFR 860.7(e)(1) states that there is a reasonable assurance that a device is effective when it can be determined, based on valid scientific evidence, that in a significant portion of the target population, the use of the device for its intended uses and conditions of use, when accompanied by adequate directions for use and warnings against unsafe use, will produce clinically significant results. Considering the data in the PMA, is there reasonable assurance that the device is effective?

48 Panel Question- 3 Patients in the European studies (79) were followed-up for periods ranging from 24 weeks to 2 years, and those in the U.S. studies (286) were followed up to 2 years. If you agree that there is enough evidence in the PMA to support the safety and effectiveness of the device, do you feel that a post-approval study to assess the long term use of this device should be initiated, and if so, please advise FDA as to the type of data you feel should be collected, and the appropriate duration of follow-up.

49 Panel Question- 4 A large volume of this device (up to 11cc. per treatment) is required to achieve an optimal cosmetic effect, and precise placement of the material in the correct dermal plane (deep dermis or subcuticular layer) is important. Please advise FDA whether a physician training program is indicated for those wishing to use this device, and if so, what type of training would be appropriate.
