Pixium Vision SA announces the successful first implantation of a patient in Germany in the PRIMAvera pivotal trial. This follows approval of the PRIMAvera study by Germany’s Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices, which aims to confirm the safety and the benefits provided by the Prima System and is the last clinical step before seeking market approval in Europe. PRIMAvera clinical sites have now opened in Bonn, Sulzbach, Hamburg, Munich and Ludwigshafen with one more in Tuebingen to follow. The PRIMAvera study was initiated in Fourth Quarter 2020 and the first patient was implanted in March 2021. The PRIMAvera study design is based on the positive data generated in a French feasibility study, showing the ability of patients with dry AMD to improve in visual acuity with the Prima System. A total of 38 patients will be enrolled in PRIMAvera, an open label, baseline-controlled, nonrandomized, multi-center, prospective, single-arm confirmatory trial. The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of subjects with an improvement of visual acuity of logMAR 0.2 or more from baseline to 12 month and the primary safety endpoint is the number and severity of device and procedure related serious adverse events at 12 months follow-up. The study will include three years of follow-up, with assessment of the primary endpoints at 12 months after implantation.
