Brief summary
The Prometra Pump is approved by the FDA for use in the United States. The purpose of this study is to collect long-term safety data on the Prometra Pump.
Detailed description
This study is proposed under part of the post-Premarket Approval (PMA) requirements. This study is a prospective, non-randomized, open-label, multicenter study. It will be performed at 10-30 centers in the US and enroll a maximum of 400 subjects. Subjects will be followed for a total of five years.
Interventions
There are two enrollment groups (arms). One is for new patients who are going to have a Prometra Pump implanted. The other arm is for patients who were part of the IDE study prior to FDA approval of the pump, and are willing to continue to be followed as part of a study.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of granuloma formation | Five years | The primary hypothesis is that the 5-year rate of patients with granuloma formation will be noninferior to that in the literature. The literature rate was found to be approximately 3% and the noninferiority margin will be three percentage points. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pump failure | Five years | Tabulation of pump failures, including time to occurrence and type |
| Pump battery life | Five years | Tabulation of occurences of premature pump battery depletions |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Granuloma formation by drug type | Five years | The effect of alternative drugs on granuloma formation |
| Rate of granuloma formation by race and ethnicity | Five years | The effect of race and ethnicity on granuloma formation |
| Device-related adverse events | Five years | Tabulation of device-related adverse events |
| Device-related serious adverse events | Five years | Tabulation of device-related serious adverse events |
