AirXpanders Patient Activated Controlled Tissue Expander System for Breast Reconstruction
This is a pivotal, prospective, multi-center randomized, controlled, open-label clinical
study designed to compare the performance and safety of the AirXpander Tissue Expander
System to currently cleared saline tissue expanders. Subject who meet the inclusion and
agree to participate in the study will be enrolled and randomized to either the
investigational arm (AirXpander Tissue Expander) or the control arm (standard saline tissue
expander) using a 2:1 (AirXpander to saline) permuted block randomization stratified by
investigational center and procedure (unilateral or bilateral). If the subject is having a
bilateral procedure, the same type of expander will be implanted in each side. Subjects in
both arms will be followed in the same manner until the explantation of the tissue
expander(s) and exchange for permanent implant(s).
Interventional
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Successful tissue expansion and exchange to a permanent breast implant unless precluded by a non-device related event
The primary endpoint will be assessed when the subject has completed tissue expansion and had an exchange to permanent breast implants. Subjects not completing permanent breast implant procedure will be considered failures if the procedure could not be completed due to a device related event.
