Evaluation of the 24/7 EEG SubQ System for Ultra Long-Term Recording of Patients With Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

November 20, 2023 updated by: UNEEG Medical A/S

Evaluation of the 24/7 EEG SubQ System for Ultra Long-Term Recording of Patients With Temporal Lobe Epilepsy An Open-label, Prospective, Paired, Comparative Study

The 24/7 EEG™ SubQ system will be compared to simultaneously recorded video-EEG in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (gold standard) and to self-reported seizure log books throughout 12 weeks of outpatient EEG recording.

The present study is a 12-week open-label, prospective study with a paired, comparative design for pivotal evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of the 24/7 EEGTM SubQ system in subjects with temporal lobe epilepsy.

2-5 sites in Europe Up to 5 sites in US, or up to 10 sites if approval granted.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject is 18-75 years old.
  • Semiology of seizures compatible with temporal lobe involvement
  • Paraclinical findings supporting temporal seizure focus. Such proof may consist of: - previous EEG recording interpreted as compatible with temporal involvement OR - radiological findings demonstrating pathology in the temporal area (CT, MRI, FDG-PET or SPECT).
  • Uncontrolled epileptic seizures.
  • Subject has planned clinical EMU admission with an admission goal including capturing epileptic seizures, within 12 weeks after the date of UNEEG™ SubQ implant.
  • Subject is willing and able to provide written informed consent.
  • Subject is able to complete all study-required procedures, assessments and follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject has a condition that places him/her at a high at high risk of surgical complications, such as an active systemic infection or a hemorrhagic disease.
  • Subject receives frequent (more than 2 days per week) treatment with drugs of the following types:

    1. antiplatelets
    2. anticoagulants
    3. chemotherapeutics
    4. non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)
  • Subject has skeletal deformities or damage at the proposed implantation site to an extent that impedes correct electrode placement.
  • Subject has an active deep brain stimulation device.
  • Subject has or is exposed to a medical device that delivers electrical energy into the area around the implant.
  • Subject has a cochlear implant(s).
