| Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure |
Medtronic plc (the “Company”) is providing an update on its SPYRAL HTN-ON MED clinical study (“ON MED study”) of its Symplicity™ Renal Denervation System. The Company’s goal of presenting the ON MED study at the 2021 Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics Conference (TCT) is unchanged. A prespecified interim look at the ON MED data by an independent monitoring board is scheduled for late October. If the monitoring board determines at that time that the ON-MED primary endpoint has achieved statistical significance, then the trial investigators would be in position to present that data at the TCT conference in early November.
Given the late October timing of the ON MED prespecified interim data analysis, these results will not be known by the time TCT releases its late-breaking clinical trial agenda. As a result, the ON MED study will not be on the list of TCT late-breaking clinical trials. However, the Company has been working with the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) to ensure that the ON MED data will be featured for presentation at TCT, if the primary endpoint reaches statistical significance.
Following the prespecified interim data analysis in late October, the Company intends to communicate whether the ON MED study primary endpoint has achieved statistical significance at that point in time. If the primary endpoint achieves statistical significance, enrollment in the ON MED study will cease, and the Company will prepare for data presentation at TCT. The ON MED trial is a Bayesian-designed clinical study, and if its primary endpoint has not yet reached statistical significance at that point in time, trial enrollment will continue until the full, predefined sample size is reached.
The information in this Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
