Eversense System Also Demonstrates Best Result
in CGM Comparative Accuracy Study
Eversense CGM System Now U.S. FDA Approved for
Adult Patients with Diabetes
Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE-American: SENS), a medical
technology company focused on the development and commercialization
of transformative glucose monitoring products, today announced the
presentation by third party researchers of new data from a clinical
study evaluating the performance of the Eversense® XL Continuous
Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system for up to 180 days in pediatrics
and adults with diabetes. Findings were presented on June 22, 2018
at the American Diabetes Association’s (ADA) 78th Scientific
Sessions.
“This is the first study to examine any CGM system in a
pediatric population for a period of continuous wear for more than
14 days,” said Dr. Ronnie Aronson, MD, FRCPC, FACE, primary
investigator, endocrinologist and chief medical officer of LMC
Diabetes & Endocrinology, Toronto, Canada. “The Eversense
System was observed to be a safe and durable alternative to
currently available CGM systems and demonstrated excellent
accuracy. The sensor insertion and removal procedures for the
device were also well-tolerated in subjects studied. Further,
patients in the study expressed a high degree of likeability for
the Eversense system as relates to its features, which could make
it a valuable tool for improved diabetes management.”
In this prospective, unblinded, single-arm, single-center study,
pediatrics (n=30) and adults (n=6) with diabetes were evaluated on
the accuracy and safety of the Eversense XL CGM System through the
180-day study duration. When referenced against a lab analyzer, the
findings demonstrated the accuracy of Eversense XL (MARD of 9.4%,
15/15% metric of 83%, and 99.6% of consensus error grid data in
zones A and B). Study participants also expressed an overall
favorable rating of the system (long sensor life, implantable wear
and vibratory alerts). No serious adverse events related to the
insertion/removal of the sensor or device were reported.
In another third party study presented on June 22, 2018 at the
ADA meeting, results of the CGM Comparative Accuracy Study
conducted by the MGH Bionic Pancreas Monitoring Study group were
reported. In the study, each of Eversense, Dexcom G5 and Libre Pro
were worn simultaneously by 23 subjects and evaluated using blood
glucose meter as the reference method.. In the 3-way comparison
study, Eversense achieved the lowest nominal MARD (14.8%) followed
by Dexcom G5 (16.3%) and Libre Pro (18.0%) “We found that the point
accuracy of the Eversense was significantly better than two other
CGM systems,” the study’s authors said. “The Eversense CGM system
may be useful to provide glucose values to artificial pancreas
devices.”
On June 21, 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved
Senseonics’ Pre-market Approval (PMA) application to market the
Eversense® CGM System in the United States to people age 18 and
older with diabetes for up to 90 days.
“On the heels of the U.S. FDA approval of the Eversense CGM
System, we are pleased to see these new data evaluating the
long-term safety and accuracy of the device be presented at the
ADA’s 78th Scientific Session,” said Tim Goodnow, President and CEO
of Senseonics. “We look forward to further advancing the science of
CGM research, which includes demonstrating clinical support for new
product indications for wider populations with an even longer
sensor life. In particular, we believe the results of the pediatric
study will potentially help inform the design of our future
pediatric clinical trials.”
The Eversense System is the first and only CGM system approved
by the FDA to feature an implantable glucose sensor and provide
long-term continuous monitoring for up to three months.
About Eversense
The Eversense® Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System is
indicated for continually measuring glucose levels in persons age
18 and older with diabetes for up to 90 days. It is intended to
complement, not replace, fingerstick blood glucose monitoring. The
sensor insertion and removal is performed by a physician. The
Eversense CGM System is a prescription device; patients should talk
to their doctor to learn more. For important safety information,
