Abstract: A comparison of pivotal studies for high-risk medical devices between China and the US including 40 approved products and some undergoing studies, covering coronary intervention, structural heart disease, left ventricular assistant device, neuromodulation, and electrophysiology, showed that pivotal studies in China were relatively simple-designed, with more quantitative endpoints, and relatively small sample size. Direct comparison of pivotal studies between different class medical devices is difficult, but achieving consensus between sponsors and regulation administration agency before conducting of the pivotal studies should be our future direction.

Abstract: We collected summaries/review reports of fractional flow reserve (FFR) and related products approved in the US and China, and together with relevant clinical literature and clinical guidelines, analyzed the registration administration strategy for such medical device software, especially clinical data requirement. In general, the US is more flexible regarding clinical data request, which was not even submitted for early FFR products when clinical benefits were not claimed. Clinical data was submitted for the following products during equivalence demonstration; however, mainly being diagnostic consistence comparison study with predicate device instead of strict prospective clinical trials. When the clinical benefits were confirmed in clinical trials with clinical outcome as the primary endpoint, this claim was added to product indications. Besides, the practice of efficiently leveraging social resources via data sharing in the US is worth learning.

Abstract: Sample size determination for clinical trials is one of the key components of study design. Based on medical device registration review recently published by National Medical Products Administration, Center for Medical Device Evaluation, and other public information, we conducted an analysis of the sample size for medical device registration clinical trials, including study design, part of which being compared with that in the US. Our results showed that the median sample size for Class III medical device registration trials is 120 (IQR 90~167.5). Sample size was influenced significantly by regulation policies, and some differed significantly from that in the US. Disclose of registration review is a giant leap for medical device regulation in China; however, the disclosed information needs to be further improved.
