Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (SENS) announced the enrollment of its first pediatric participant in the ENHANCE clinical trial for the Eversense® 365-day continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system. This pivotal trial, directed by Dr. Timothy Bailey at AMCR Institute, aims to evaluate the system's accuracy and safety over one year, with a focus on extending its benefits to young diabetes patients aged 14 to 18. With previous data from over 165 adult subjects and an expected completion of the last patient visit in Q3 2023, successful trial outcomes could bolster the company's position in the diabetes management market. Senseonics emphasizes the device's unique benefits, allowing pediatric users to remove transmitters during activities, enhancing their quality of life while managing diabetes.

GERMANTOWN, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE-American: SENS), a medical technology company focused on the development and manufacturing of long-term, implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems for people with diabetes, today announced the first pediatric study participant has been inserted with Eversense® 365-day system as part of the pivotal ENHANCE clinical trial at the AMCR Institute, a clinical research center focused on pre-diabetes, type 1, type 2 diabetes and obesity, under the direction of Dr. Timothy Bailey.
“It is a priority for Senseonics to extend the benefits of Eversense to the pediatric patient population. Positive results in the trial would support expanding our ability to transform lives in the global diabetes community,” said Francine Kaufman, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Senseonics. “The differentiated features of our long-term implantable Eversense system are uniquely suited to benefit pediatrics and enable parents and their children to work together to manage diabetes. Young people would have the ability to remove their transmitters to participate in activities, without having to worry about wasting valuable sensors, and enjoy ring-free vibrating alarms to help manage their sugar levels without attracting unwanted attention to themselves.”
“I am excited to be one of the investigators in the ENHANCE Trial and thrilled to be the first to enroll subjects in the pediatric extension,” said Timothy Bailey, M.D., head of AMCR Institute in Escondido, California. “In our experience, CGM is an essential tool for all people with diabetes, especially for those who take insulin. We believe having additional accurate, and especially long-term wear, CGM options for our pediatric patients and their families will increase utilization of the technology and improve the quality of their lives.”
The ENHANCE Trial is designed to evaluate the accuracy and safety of the Eversense system for up to one year. Over 165 adult subjects were inserted with Eversense systems in four centers across the United States. Enrollment for the 365-day sensor configuration was completed in September 2022 and the last patient is expected to complete their 365-day visit during the third quarter of 2023. Data gathered in this trial is also planned to be used to submit for the integrated continuous glucose monitoring, iCGM, designation in 2023. An investigational device exemption (“IDE”) supplement was submitted and approved for expansion of the trial to allow for pediatric patients 14 to 18 years of age and the first pediatric study participants were enrolled in Q2 2023.
About Senseonics

(“Senseonics”) is a medical technology company focused on the development and manufacturing of glucose monitoring products designed to transform lives in the global diabetes community with differentiated, long-term implantable glucose management technology. Senseonics' CGM systems, Eversense®, Eversense® XL and Eversense® E3 include a small sensor inserted completely under the skin that communicates with a smart transmitter worn over the sensor.

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. The Eversense CGM System is a prescription device; patients should talk to their health care provider to learn more.
