A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the STARFlex  Septal Closure System Versus Best Medical Therapy in Patients with a Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack due to Presumed Paradoxical Embolism through a Patent Foramen Ovale Anthony J Furlan MD Gilbert Humphrey Professor Chairman Department of Neurology Co-Director Neurological Institute University Hospitals Case Medical Center Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine For the CLOSURE I Investigators Trial Sponsor: NMT Medical Boston

DISCLOSURES Anthony J Furlan MD Consultant NMT Medical Boston Principal Investigator CLOSURE I

Study Design Prospective, multi-center, randomized, open-label, two-arm superiority trial designed to test whether PFO closure using STARFlex® plus medical therapy is superior to medical therapy alone for preventing recurrent stroke or TIA in patients with cryptogenic stroke or TIA and a PFO –IRB approved at each site and all patients signed informed consent Study population: Patients 60 years old or younger with a cryptogenic stroke or TIA and a PFO documented by TEE, with or without atrial septal aneurysm, within 6 months of randomization –DVT, hypercoagulopathy excluded Primary endpoint : 2-year incidence of stroke or TIA, all cause mortality for the first 30 days, and neurological mortality 31 days to 2 years Followup at 1 month, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months by a board certified neurologist –repeat TEE at 6 months all patients and 12/24 months if residual leak

Statistical Design Sample size : –expected primary endpoint 6% for medical therapy and 2% for STARFlex –900 patients (450 per treatment group) provides 80% power and a two-sided significance level (alpha) of 0.05 Primary analysis intent-to-treat Safety analyses performed on the Safety Analysis population, defined as all randomized patients who received the randomized treatment

Data Management and Core Labs Data Management : Harvard Clinical Research Institute (HCRI) Core Laboratories : –Echocardiography (University of Pennsylvania), –Chest X-ray (Valerie Mandell, MD/Taylor Chung, MD) –MR (Perceptive Informatics). –Data from cores transmitted to HCRI and used by the independent CEC in event adjudication Clinical Events Committee (CEC) fully independent from the study and sponsor blindly adjudicated all neurological and study endpoints (D Cutlip, M Fisher) Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) fully independent from the study and sponsor periodically reviewed and evaluated the incidence of adverse events with the ability to stop the study at any time for a safety concern. (JP Mohr, Chairman)

Cardiac Definitions Shunting and residual leaking: Core Echo Lab classified based on bubbles appearing in the left atrium either spontaneously or after provocative maneuver within five cardiac cycles after opacification of the right atrium. (none, trace, moderate, substantial) Procedural success : successful delivery of one or more STARFlex devices to the site during the index procedure without a procedural complication, deployment of the device at the intended site, and removal of the delivery system without a major procedural complication by discharge Effective closure: device success with grade 0 (none) or 1 (trace) residual leaking by TEE. Atrial septal aneurysm (ASA): hypermobile septum primum with total septal mobility of 10mm or greater

Neurological Definitions Definite TIA : sudden focal neurological event lasting at least 10 minutes without evidence of acute ischemic brain injury on DWMR and consisting of hemiplegia/paresis, monoplegia/paresis, quadriplegia/paresis, language disturbance other than isolated slurred speech, blindness in one or both eyes, or significant difficulty walking Ischemic stroke : acute focal neurological event that shows evidence of corresponding tissue injury on brain imaging (DWMR) Events possibly due to migraine were excluded The diagnosis of either definite TIA or stroke was made by a board-certified study neurologist at each site and required blinded adjudication by the Clinical Events Committee (CEC) completely independent of the trial and Sponsor

CONCLUSIONS CLOSURE I is the first completed, prospective, randomized, independently adjudicated PFO device closure studyCLOSURE I is the first completed, prospective, randomized, independently adjudicated PFO device closure study Superiority of PFO closure with STARFlex® plus medical therapy over medical therapy alone was not demonstratedSuperiority of PFO closure with STARFlex® plus medical therapy over medical therapy alone was not demonstrated –no significant benefit related to degree of initial shunt –no significant benefit with atrial septal aneurysm –insignificant trend (1.8%) favoring device driven by TIA –2 year stroke rate essentially identical in both arms (3%) Major vascular (procedural) complications in 3% of device armMajor vascular (procedural) complications in 3% of device arm Significantly higher rate of atrial fibrillation in device arm (5.7%)Significantly higher rate of atrial fibrillation in device arm (5.7%) –60% periprocedural

CONCLUSIONS Alternative explanation unrelated to paradoxical embolism present in 80% of patients with recurrent stroke or TIAAlternative explanation unrelated to paradoxical embolism present in 80% of patients with recurrent stroke or TIA –cryptogenic stroke and TIA include multiple etiologies –in many patients with cryptogenic stroke or TIA a PFO may be coincidental –diagnostic criteria for paradoxical embolism are imprecise –potential efficacy of PFO device closure in better defined patient subgroups requires further study Percutaneous closure with STARFlex® plus medical therapy does not offer any significant benefit over medical therapy alone for the prevention of recurrent stroke or TIA in patients < age 60 presenting with cryptogenic stroke or TIA and a PFOPercutaneous closure with STARFlex® plus medical therapy does not offer any significant benefit over medical therapy alone for the prevention of recurrent stroke or TIA in patients < age 60 presenting with cryptogenic stroke or TIA and a PFO
