NCT07301346

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of focal cortex stimulation with the EASEE(R) System in a large cohort of subjects with medically refractory focal epilepsy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Complete a seizure diary for the duration of the clinical trial
  • Attend study visits for 20 months of their clinical trial participation
  • Undergo EASEE(R) System implant
  • Not be aware if neurostimulation is delivered during the Blinded Phase (6 months)
  • Receive neurostimulation for at least 12 months

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Percentage reduction in the monthly seizure rate [Effectiveness]

    Percentage reduction in the monthly seizure rate during months 5 and 6 post-randomization compared to 3 months pre-implant baseline in the Intervention group versus the Control group.

    Baseline and months 5 and 6

  • Incidence of Serious Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]

    * Acute Serious Adverse Event incidence in the study population * Short term chronic Serious Adverse Event incidence in the study population

    From implant to days 28 and 84 post-implant

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Seizure Frequency Responder Rate

    from Baseline to 6 months

  • Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) accross Arms [Patient Reported Outcome]

    Baseline to 6 months

  • Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) in the Intervention Group [Patient Reported Outcome]

    Baseline to 6 months

  • Quarterly Seizure Frequency Evaluation

    Baseline to 18 months

Study Arms (2)

Intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in the Intervention group receive brain neurostimulation. Participants do not feel if they are stimulated or not.

Device: Implantable minimaly invasive brain stimulator

Control group

SHAM COMPARATOR

Participants in the Control group have stimulation parameters turned off. Participants do not feel if they are stimulated or not.

Device: Implantable minimaly invasive brain stimulator

Interventions

Participants are implanted with an electrode under the skin and above the skull. The electrode is connected to an implantable pulse generator in the chest area. The system is intended for focal cortex stimulation to treat medically refractory epilepsy. The stimulation is activated (turned ON) for 18 months.
