01 RegenLab Client-verified program

One European PMCF program across two chronic wound populations

Step 1 · The challenge

An autologous platelet-rich plasma technology used in chronic wound care needed post-market clinical follow-up across more than one wound population and more than one country. Diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers are treated in different clinics, by different specialists, using different assessment habits. Evidence gathered that way is not comparable. The program had to fix one preparation and application protocol, one assessment schedule and one data structure before any European conclusion could be drawn.

Step 3 · Program and evidence position

A multicountry European PMCF program delivered to one standardized protocol across both wound populations, producing evidence in four common domains: wound healing and closure, clinical and safety outcomes, patient-reported outcomes, and treatment and resource use.

Client-verified program. A filmed discussion with the client is referenced in the perspectives section below.

Program architecture
What this architecture shows
  • Two clinically distinct chronic wound populations are followed in parallel: diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers.
  • Both cohorts use one preparation and application protocol, standardized at the bedside and assessed at every visit.
  • Delivery is coordinated across multiple European countries, with standardized wound assessment, longitudinal clinical follow-up and structured capture in Milo Studio.
  • Four evidence domains are common to both cohorts: wound healing and closure, clinical and safety outcomes, patient-reported outcomes, and treatment and resource use.
  • The program output is European PMCF evidence covering both wound populations.

02 Mölnlycke Named client engagement

Two PMCF programs built to feed successive clinical evaluation cycles

Step 1 · The challenge

An advanced wound care portfolio moving to MDR needed post-market clinical follow-up that would hold together under review, not a set of unconnected studies. Diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers each required their own program, yet both had to produce evidence in the same shape: the same endpoints, the same assessment intervals, the same reporting structure. Without that discipline the two programs would have supported two separate arguments instead of one clinical evaluation.

03 Perouse Medical, Vygon Group Publicly documented program

One PMCF evidence program across three implantable device families

Step 1 · The challenge

Three families of implantable vascular devices (vascular patches, vascular prostheses and implantable ports) each needed post-market clinical follow-up under MDR. Run independently, six studies would have produced six incompatible datasets and six separate arguments about one portfolio. The difficulty was not collecting evidence but comparing it: safety definitions, performance measures, follow-up windows and reporting outputs had to be identical before portfolio-level conclusions were possible.

  • Common safety definitions and event reporting
  • Comparable clinical performance measures at device-family level
  • Post-implantation clinical follow-up design
View full Eclevar contribution 2 more
  • A shared data structure, analysis conventions and reporting outputs
  • Registration and observational conduct across the six studies

Step 3 · Program and evidence position

Six registered retrospective observational studies running on one harmonized model, producing clinical safety and clinical performance evidence per device family and a comparable structure across the portfolio.

Publicly documented program. The studies are registered observational studies.

Program architecture
What this architecture shows
  • Three implantable vascular device families are covered: vascular patches for arterial reconstruction, surgical vascular prostheses and venous-access implantable ports.
  • Six registered retrospective observational studies sit across the portfolio.
  • One harmonized retrospective PMCF model imposes a common safety structure, comparable clinical performance outcomes, post-implantation clinical follow-up and shared data and reporting conventions.
  • Evidence outputs are produced at four levels: clinical safety, clinical performance, device-family evidence and portfolio-level consistency.
  • The final output supports EU MDR clinical evaluation and PMCF.

04 Meril Life Sciences Named client engagement

Comparative evidence generation across three contemporary TAVI valve platforms

Step 1 · The challenge

Comparative evidence across transcatheter aortic valve platforms is usually assembled after the fact, from studies run at different times, in different populations, against different endpoints. Assembled that way it is not comparable. The requirement here was to evaluate three contemporary valve platforms inside one prospective randomized UK study, so that quality of life, clinical and safety outcomes, echocardiographic outcomes and health-economic data are collected on the same schedule and adjudicated against the same definitions.

Step 3 · Program and evidence position

Three valve platforms compared within one study rather than in sequence, producing comparative 30-day evidence across quality of life, clinical and safety outcomes, echocardiographic outcomes and health-economic analysis.

Named client engagement. Sponsor of record: Meril Life Sciences. No clinical result is published here.

Program architecture
What this architecture shows
  • Three contemporary transcatheter aortic valve platforms are evaluated within a single prospective randomized UK study.
  • The arms run in parallel rather than in sequence, on a common assessment schedule with standardized imaging review and adjudicated clinical endpoints.
  • Health-economic data is captured alongside the clinical data rather than reconstructed afterwards.
  • Four comparative 30-day evidence domains are produced: quality of life, clinical and safety outcomes, echocardiographic outcomes and health-economic analysis.

05 JRI Orthopaedics Named client engagement

A two-part clinical investigation for a ceramic hip resurfacing system

Step 1 · The challenge

A bone-preserving ceramic hip resurfacing system needed one clinical investigation able to answer two questions with very different time horizons. Early safety and performance have to be established before the device can progress, while implant survivorship, revision outcomes and long-term function only become visible years later. Splitting them into separate studies would have produced two incompatible datasets on the same implant. Both parts had to sit inside one endpoint architecture.

Step 3 · Program and evidence position

Part 1 covers early safety and performance, including metal-ion assessment, imaging and hip function. Part 2 covers long-term clinical performance: implant survivorship, revision outcomes, longitudinal imaging and long-term function. Both parts report into the same four evidence domains.

Named client engagement. Pre-market clinical investigation, in progress.

Program architecture
What this architecture shows
  • Part 1 covers early safety and performance: early safety, initial performance, metal-ion assessment, imaging and hip function.
  • Part 2 covers long-term clinical performance: implant survivorship, revision outcomes, longitudinal imaging and long-term function.
  • The two parts share four evidence domains so that early and long-term data remain comparable.
  • The output supports EU MDR clinical evaluation and PMCF.

06 Coloplast Publicly documented program

Clinical investigation architecture for a new compact intermittent catheter

Step 1 · The challenge

A non-CE-marked investigational catheter had to be evaluated against marketed comparators on an objective bladder-emptying endpoint. That endpoint depends on catheterization technique, on whether the catheterization is performed by a nurse or by the participant, and on four weeks of largely unsupervised use at home. Two marketed comparators randomized across participants, three jurisdictions with different national requirements and crossover carry-over effects all had to be held in one architecture.

Step 3 · Program and evidence position

A multi-center, randomized, open-label crossover investigation across three European countries, with two home-use test periods per participant and four evidence domains: bladder emptying performance, safety and device deficiencies, catheter perception and handling, and home-use experience.

Publicly documented program. Registered as NCT05814211, protocol CP348, completed. Design, registration and scale details are taken from the public registration and the registered clinical investigation plan. Assessments are described as designed, not as completed, and no clinical result is published here.

Program architecture
What this architecture shows
  • Each participant is randomized to a sequence and receives one CE-marked comparator alongside the investigational compact catheter.
  • Catheterization is performed both by a healthcare professional at the clinic and by the participant, on an identical assessment schedule for every device.
  • Two home-use test periods of two weeks each are separated across four site visits.
  • Four evidence domains are collected: bladder emptying performance, safety and device deficiencies, catheter perception and handling, and home-use experience.
  • No clinical result is reproduced on this page. The public registration is the source of record.

EU MDR clinical evidence for an electromyography and evoked-potential system

Step 1 · The challenge

A neurological diagnostic system combining electromyography, nerve-conduction assessment and evoked-potential measurement needed a clinically and regulatorily defensible evidence package. The device measures nerve and muscle signals rather than treating, so its clinical evidence had to be built from existing clinical data and the state of the art rather than from a new investigation. Adequacy then had to be demonstrated across three distinct diagnostic modalities inside one clinical evaluation.

Step 3 · Program and evidence position

A clinical evidence package covering electromyography, nerve conduction and evoked potentials, prepared to support the manufacturer’s conformity assessment under Regulation (EU) 2017/745. The system is a diagnostic clinical-neurophysiology platform and does not deliver therapeutic neurostimulation.

Named client engagement. The public scope is limited to activities verified against the contract and the delivered documentation. No certification, approval or conformity-assessment outcome is attributed to Eclevar.

Program architecture
What this architecture shows
  • Three diagnostic modalities are in scope: electromyography, nerve conduction and evoked potentials.
  • The clinical pathway runs from patient signal, through acquisition and review, to clinical interpretation and structured clinical evidence.
  • Eclevar contributed the clinical evaluation strategy, the systematic literature review, the state-of-the-art assessment, the clinical-data appraisal and the Clinical Evaluation Report.
  • The output is a clinical evidence package prepared to support conformity assessment under Regulation (EU) 2017/745. No regulatory decision is attributed to Eclevar.
