  2. Presentation Overview • What is Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)? • The Clinical Consequences of VUR • Overview of Treatment Options • Antibiotics • Endoscopic injection • Surgery • Treatment Preferences

  3. What is Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)? • VUR is a bladder valve defect that allows urine to reflux from the bladder through one or both ureters and up to the kidneys1 • Affects about 1% of children, usually diagnosed in the first few years of life, after a UTI 1Hensle 2007a

  4. What is Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)? • The severity of VUR is based upon a grading system, reflecting the extent of reflux and ureter abnormality1 • More severe VUR is associated with more severe renal scarring and increased complications2,3 1Jacobson 1999; 2Gonzalez 2005; 3Caione 2004

  5. The Clinical Consequences of VUR • Urine traveling back up to the kidneys increases the likelihood of having a urinary tract infection1 • There is a 70% overall incidence of upper UTI (acute pyelonephritis) in children with first febrile UTI2 • more than half (57%) of these children developed renal scars • Urinary tract infections resulting in renal scarring and damage can potentially lead to early hypertension and end-stage renal disease (ESRD)3 1Panaretto 1999; 2Lin 2003; 3American Academy of Pediatrics 1999

  6. The risk of renal scarring increases with each febrile UTI episode1 Renal damage usually occurs within the first 3-5 years of life2 The Clinical Consequences of VUR • 1American Academy of Pediatrics 1999; 2Sherbotie 1991

  7. The Clinical Consequences of VUR Consequences of Renal Scarring and Damage • These data are a graphical representation of the data within these studies. • 1Smellie 1998; 2McNiece 2007; 3Kiberd 2002; 42007 USRDS Annual Data Report; 5 US Census Bureau.

  8. Definition of Success Aim of Treatment Definition of Success • In the United States success is defined as reduction of VUR to Grade 0 • Prevent Renal Scarring

  25. Additional Questions?

  26. Product Information Intended Use/Indications Deflux® is indicated for treatment of children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) grades II-IV. Contraindications Deflux is contraindicated in patients with any of the following conditions: • Non-functional kidney(s) • Hutch diverticuli • Ureterocele • Active voiding dysfunction • Ongoing urinary tract infection Warnings • Do not inject Deflux intravascularly. Injection of Deflux into blood vessels may cause vascular occlusion. Precautions • Deflux should only be administered by qualified physicians experienced in the use of a cystoscope and trained in subureteral injection procedures. • Treatment of duplex systems has not been prospectively studied. • Ureters with grossly dilated orifices may render the patient unsuitable for treatment. • The risks of infection and bleeding are associated with the cystoscopic procedure used to inject Deflux. The usual precautions associated with cystoscopy (e.g. sterile technique, proper dilation, etc.) should be followed. • The safety and effectiveness of the use of more than 6 ml of Deflux (3 ml at each ureteral orifice) at the same treatment session have not been established. • The safety and effectiveness of Deflux in the treatment of children under 1 year of age have not been established.

  27. Product Information Adverse Events List of treatment-related adverse events for 39 patients from a randomized study and 170 patients from nonrandomized studies. (Follow-up for studies was 12 months). Adverse EventRandomized (n=39 Deflux)Nonrandomized (n=170) Urinary tract infection (UTI) (i) 6 (15.4%) (ii, iii) 13 (7.6%) (ii, iii) Ureteral dilatation (iv) 1 (2.6%) 6 (3.5%) Nausea/Vomiting/Abdominal pain (v) 0 (0%) 2 (1.2%) (i) Cases of UTI typically occurred in patients with persistent reflux. (ii) Patients in the nonrandomized studies received antibiotic prophylaxis until the 3-month VCUG. After that only those patients whose treatment had failed received further antibiotic prophylaxis. The patients in the randomized study received antibiotic prophylaxis 1 month post-treatment. (iii) All UTI cases were successfully treated with antibiotics. (iv) No case of ureteral dilation required intervention and most cases resolved spontaneously. (v) Both cases of nausea/vomiting/abdominal pain were resolved.

  28. Product Information Adverse Events Continued Although vascular occlusion, ureteral obstruction, dysuria, hematuria/bleeding, urgency and urinary frequency have not been observed in any of the clinical studies, they are potential adverse events associated with subureteral injection procedures. Following approval, rare cases of postoperative dilation of the upper urinary tract with or without hydronephrosis leading to temporary placement of a ureteric stent have been reported.
