  1. Medtronic RDNSYMPLICITY HTN-3 & Global SYMPLICITY Registry (GSR)

  2. Key Takeaways • SYMPLICITY HTN-3 did not reach the primary or powered secondary efficacy endpoints in this trial. There may be many factors that contributed to the outcome, which we continue to investigate. • SYMPLICITY HTN-3 did meet its safety endpoint, which is consistent with all other Symplicity trials, including the Global SYMPLICITY Registry. • Based upon our detailed analysis of HTN-3, we believe further clinical investigation is warranted and Medtronic will, in consultation with FDA, pursue a new IDE trial • An unmet need in this uncontrolled hypertension population still exists. Medtronic will continue to provide access to the Symplicity system in countries where it has regulatory approval and will continue to support a global hypertension clinical program

  3. SYMPLICITY HTN-3 Trial Objectives • SYMPLICITY HTN-3 is the first prospective, multi-center, randomized, blinded, sham controlled study to evaluate both the safety and efficacy of percutaneous renal artery denervation in patients with severe treatment-resistant hypertension. • The trial included 535 patients enrolled by 88 participating US centers.

  4. Key Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria Key Inclusion: • Stable medication regimen including full tolerated doses of 3+ anti hypertensive medications of different classes, including a diuretic • Office SBP ≥160 mm Hg based on an average of 3 blood pressure readings measured at both an initial and a confirmatory screening visit Key Exclusion: • ABPM 24 hour average SBP <135 mm Hg • eGFR of <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 • Main renal arteries <4 mm diameter or <20 mm treatable length

  5. SYMPLICITY HTN-3: Severe Drug-Resistant HTN Office SBP ≥160 mm Hg • 2:1 randomization, blinded and controlled • Sham procedure in control patients that included renal angiogram • 535 subjects randomized out of 1441 enrolled (63% screen failure rate) • 2-week screening process, including maximum tolerated doses of antihypertensives 2 weeks 1 mo 3 mo 6mo Home BP & HTN med confirmation 2 weeks Home BP & HTN med confirmation Sham Procedure Renal angiogram; Eligible subjects randomized Primary endpoint Screening Visit 1 Screening Visit 2 • Office SBP ≥160 mm Hg • Full doses ≥3 meds • No med changes in past 2 weeks • No planned med changes for 6 mo • Office SBP ≥160 mm Hg • 24-h ABPM SBP≥135 mm Hg • Documented med adherence Renal Denervation Home BP & HTN med confirmation 2 weeks 6mo 1 mo 3mo 12-60 mo • Patients, BP assessors, and study personnel all blinded to treatment status • No changes in medications for 6 M

  6. Key Safety Endpoint Safety analysis • Composite endpoint of death, renal injury, vascular complications, and embolic tissue injury to 1 month and renal artery stenosis to 6 months. <7% MAE rate required to meet the primary safety endpoint. Primary safety analysis • A performance goal established from renal artery stenting required the major adverse event rate for safety be <9.8%. This requires the observed MAE rate to be <7%, given the expected confidence interval for this endpoint.

  7. Key Efficacy Endpoints Efficacy analysis • Comparison of SBP change from baseline to 6 mo in RDN arm compared with change from baseline to 6 mo in control arm • Endpoint = (SBPRDN 6 mo– SBPRDN baseline) – (SBPCTL: 6 mo– SBPCTL baseline) Primary efficacy (OBP) endpoint assumptions • Superiority analysis • Superiority margin of 5 mm Hg, per FDA recommendation • Assuming a standard deviation of 25 mm Hg for both arms, 10 mm Hg is the minimum treatment difference required to meet the efficacy endpoint (95% CI) Secondary efficacy (ABPM) endpoint assumptions • Superiority analysis • Superiority margin of 2 mm Hg, per FDA recommendation • Assuming a standard deviation of 18 for both arms, 5.5 mm Hg is the minimum difference required to meet the efficacy endpoint (95% CI)

  8. Patient Disposition 1441 subjects assessed for eligibility • Excluded: • 880 not eligible for randomization • 26 eligible but not randomized because randomization cap was reached 535 subjects randomized 171 subjects randomly allocated to sham control 364 subjects randomly allocated to renal denervation 2:1 • 2 subjects died • 1 subject withdrew • 11 missed 6-month visit • 1 subject died • 1 missed 6-month visit 350 (96.2%) subjects with 6 month follow-up 169 (98.8%) subjects with 6 month follow-up

  10. Results: Baseline Hypertensive Therapy

  11. HTN-3 Results: Primary Safety Endpoint Performance Goal = 9.8% P < 0.001 Major Adverse Event (MAE) Rate

  12. Primary Efficacy EndpointOffice Systolic Blood Pressure at 6 Months, 5 mm Superiority Margin N = 353 N = 171 ∆SBP at 6 mo -2.39 (-6.89, 2.12), P = 0.255 (Primary analysis with 5 mm Hg superiority margin) • Did not meet primary efficacy endpoint

  13. Secondary Efficacy EndpointAmbulatory Systolic Blood Pressure at 6 Months, 2 mm Superiority Margin N = 325 N = 159 ∆ ABPM at 6 mo -1.96 (-4.97, 1.06), P = 0.979 (ITT analysis with 2 mm Hg superiority margin) • Did not meet secondary efficacy endpoint

  14. HTN-3 Results: Potential Factors • Patient behavior • Due to being enrolled and closely monitored in a clinical trial, as well as blinded to treatment, the patients in SYMPLICITY HTN-3 may have improved or modified their lifestyle and drug adherence. • Study population • The population studied and the requirement for maximum tolerated medication dosage were different from other SYMPLICITY studies. • Procedural experience and variability • SYMPLICITY HTN-3 included a greater number of trial sites and proceduralists compared to SYMPLICITY HTN-1 and HTN-2, which may have led to greater procedural variability. • Case proctoring was different and not comparable

  15. Comparison of HTN-2 and HTN-3 Trial Designs

  16. HTN-3: Challenge of Limiting Medication Changes in Uncontrolled Hypertension Population • Protocol mandated maximum doses and nomedication changes • ~40% of patients(n = 211) in the trial required medication changes • 69% of first medication changes were medically necessary Patients With Medication Changes (%) N = 71 N = 137

  30. Change in Ambulatory SBP for GSR and SYMPLICITY HTN-3 Patients

  31. Distribution of SBP in Patients With Office SBP≥160 mm Hg and Ambulatory SBP ≥135 mm Hg* at Baseline

  32. S-22 Excellent procedural and clinical safety profile in the largest data set of real-world RDN patients to date. Significant reductions in both office and ambulatory BP from baseline. Differences from SYMPLICITY HTN-3 include randomization, blinding, sham control, BP inclusion criteria, antihypertensive-drug treatment intensity, and an African American cohort in HTN-3. Despite the limitations of comparing a registry with a randomized, blinded, controlled study, the reduction in blood pressure is numerically larger in the GSR at 6 months after treatment. Due to the nature of registry studies, it is difficult to account for the magnitude of a possible placebo effect in GSR. GSR LBCT Conclusions

  33. Medtronic Next Steps • Medtronic will continue to provide access to the Symplicity™ system in countries where it has regulatory approval and will continue to support a global hypertension clinical program. • Medtronic will continue to enroll in the Global SYMPLICITY Registry. • Our detailed analyses of HTN-3 suggest that further investigation is warranted; Medtronic is in discussions with the FDA to determine the path forward for the next US IDE trial. • In light of the results of the SYMPLICITY HTN-3 trial, Medtronic will discontinue the already suspended SYMPLICITY HTN-4 trial • Medtronic will consult with local regulatory bodies to determine the future of the HTN-Japan and HTN-India clinical studies. • Medtronic will continue to pursue its studies in other disease states, including AF, CKD, HF, etc.

  38. Sample Size Assumptions • SYMPLICITY HTN-3 sample size was driven by the safety endpoint, a composite of Major Adverse Events (MAE). • Safety endpoint compared to an Objective Performance Criterion (OPC) of 9.8%, derived from historical data. • 316 RDN therapy group subjects were required to provide 80% power, using a one-sided significance level of 0.05. • Given 2:1 randomization, 158 control group subjects were required. • Accounting for expected patient attrition, sample size was increased to a minimum of 530 randomized total patients • MAE was defined as all-cause mortality, ESRD, embolic event resulting in end-organ damage, renal artery or other vascular complication, hypertensive crisis through 30 days, including new renal artery stenosis within 6 months.
