New Clinical Data Demonstrating the Safety and Accuracy of Eversense through 365 Days Presented at the American Diabetes Association 83rd Scientific Sessions
Eversense E3 system can provide accurate performance through 365-day period
Superior glucose outcomes achieved with use of Eversense E3 CGM
“These data further bolster Eversense’s position as a leading CGM choice for people with diabetes. These recent studies are an important step forward as we continue to expand awareness of the system’s unique clinical benefits,” said Francine Kaufman, M.D., Senseonics Chief Medical Officer. “We are thankful for the opportunity to present these results to our peers at the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions and are proud to support the global diabetes community with a CGM that provides safety and accuracy benefits that can lead to more effective diabetes management.”
ADA Oral Presentation – Results for Accuracy Evaluation of an Implantable CGM with Chemistry Improvements in a 365-Day Feasibility Study presented by Lujain Al-Khawi
A feasibility study was conducted in 32 patients using a modified Eversense CGM System to assess if longevity could be extended through 365 days while maintaining accuracy.
The key findings were as follows:
-
Sensor longevity was
97% through 365 days - The sensor was safe with few minor skin irritation adverse events
- MARD observed for the modified CGM system through 365 days was similar to that observed with Eversense E3 CGM System through 180 days
The feasibility study of the next generation Eversense Sensor showed the system could provide accurate performance through a 365-day period.
ADA Poster Presentation – Glycemic Improvements in CGM Naive Patients during SMBG and Implantable CGM Use presented by Katherine Tweden, PhD
In this multi-center study, CGM naive patients were followed for 6 months of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) followed by 6 months of Eversense CGM System use (90-day Eversense transitioning to Eversense E3 CGM System after FDA approval). Changes in glucometrics and HbA1c were evaluated. In the first 100 patients who completed the study, the key results of the use of Eversense CGM for 6 months were the following:
-
While there was a decrease in HbA1c after 6 months of SMBG use, there was a further significant reduction after 6 months of Eversense CGM to a mean value of
6.93% -
CGM use resulted in a significant increase in time in range (70-180 mg/dL) to a mean of
74.2% - There were significant decreases in both time below range (<70 mg/dL) and in times above range (>180 mg/dL and >250 mg/dL)
-
68% of patients achieved >70% TIR by the end of the CGM phase
This study, reporting on 100 adult patients with diabetes, showed that superior glucose outcomes were achieved with 6 months use of Eversense CGM compared to the initial 6-month period where management was achieved with SMBG only.
“We appreciate all the endocrinology key opinion leaders who continue to investigate the real-world performance and benefits of Eversense. This growing library of clinical evidence demonstrates the value proposition of our system and supports the efforts of Ascensia, our global commercial partner, to drive increased patient and provider adoption,” said Tim Goodnow, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer for Senseonics.
About Eversense
The Eversense® E3 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System is indicated for continually measuring glucose levels in persons age 18 years and older with diabetes for up to 6 months. The system is indicated for use to replace fingerstick blood glucose (BG) measurements for diabetes treatment decisions. Fingerstick BG measurements are still required for calibration and when symptoms do not match CGM information or when taking medications of the tetracycline class. The sensor insertion and removal procedures are performed by a trained and certified health care provider. Eversense is marketed by Senseonics global commercial partner, Ascensia Diabetes Care, which is a subsidiary of PHC Holdings Corporation (TSE 6523). The Eversense CGM System is a prescription device; patients should talk to their health care provider to learn more.
