Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluating Anatomic Versus Targeted Lead Placement for Burst Stimulation Therapy During the Trial (NCT NCT03277378)

NCT ID: NCT03277378

Last Updated: 2021-01-05

Results Overview

The primary endpoint is the qualification rate for permanent system implant at the end of the initial trial evaluation period. Qualification for permanent system implant was defined by a composite where all the following conditions were met: * ≥ 50% patient reported pain relief (PRP) at the end of the trial evaluation * Trial evaluation period lasted for a minimum of 3 days * Physician recommends subject for permanent system implant * Subject reports a willingness to pursue a permanent system implant Subjects did not qualify for permanent system implant if they met both of the following: * \< 50% PRP (patient reported pain relief) at the end of the trial evaluation * Trial evaluation period lasted for a minimum of 5 days

Participant Flow

The subject enrollment for the DELIVERY study began on 22 September 2017, at 23 clinical sites in the United States, Europe, and Australia. A total of 270 subjects were randomized into the two treatment groups (Anatomic Lead Placement and Targeted lead placement).

A total of 288 subjects were screened, of which 18 subjects were withdrawn before randomization due to unmet inclusion/exclusion criteria (n=6), withdrawal of the consent (n=11) and subject was on the clinic's wait list to receive an implant only after the study closed (n=1). The last follow-up visit occurred on 27 August 2018.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: From pre-implant to end of extended trial period, a minimum of 5 days BurstDR stimulation plus an additional minimum of 3 days tonic stimulation

Population: The number of participants analyzed includes subjects who were available at that time of analysis

The qualification rate for permanent implant was calculated for the subjects who completed the extended trial period.
