Descrição detalhada
This prospective, randomized, sham-controlled study will evaluate the safety, feasibility, and clinical effectiveness of the investigational Cadence Biomarker Targeted Stimulation (BTS) System in adults with drug-resistant generalized epilepsy. The study will enroll 10 adult participants (≥18 years of age) across participating Mayo Clinic sites.
The Cadence BTS System is designed to provide deep brain stimulation (DBS) and record brain electrical activity. The system includes the Model 5100 EEG Workstation and the Alera implantable neural stimulation and recording system. Participants will undergo implantation of four DBS leads targeting the bilateral centromedian (CM) and mediodorsal (MD) nuclei of the thalamus. During implantation, intra-operative neurophysiologic recordings and brief stimulation trials will be used to evaluate brain responses, identify electrophysiologic biomarkers, and help select stimulation contacts and parameters for chronic therapy.
The study will include a baseline/enrollment phase, an implant phase, a CM-DBS optimization phase, a randomized CM+MD DBS evaluation phase, and an open-label phase. During the baseline phase, participants will record seizure frequency and undergo baseline clinical, neurological, neuropsychological, mood, memory, sleep, and quality-of-life assessments. Following implantation, CM stimulation will be optimized using clinical response, seizure counts, electrophysiologic biomarkers, and participant tolerability.
During the randomized evaluation phase, participants will continue optimized CM stimulation while receiving randomized MD stimulation conditions, including sham stimulation, low-frequency stimulation, and high-frequency stimulation. Participants will continue to record seizure frequency, and clinical and neuropsychological assessments will be performed following the randomized treatment periods. Participants will subsequently enter an open-label phase using the therapy determined to be optimal based on findings from the randomized phase.
The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of combined bilateral CM and MD thalamic stimulation delivered using the Cadence BTS System. Safety will be assessed through monitoring of device-related, procedure-related, and stimulation-related adverse events and serious adverse events, as well as neurological examinations, neuropsychological testing, mood and behavioral assessments, and device performance.
Clinical effectiveness will be evaluated primarily by comparing disabling seizure frequency during treatment with each participant's baseline seizure frequency. Additional outcomes will include seizure responder rate (≥50% reduction in disabling seizure frequency), seizure freedom, total seizure frequency, seizure severity, quality of life, cognition, memory, mood, sleep, functional outcomes, electrophysiologic biomarkers, and long-term device performance.
Exploratory analyses will examine relationships between suppression of electrophysiologic biomarkers and seizure reduction, associations among sleep, cognition, mood, and seizure outcomes, stimulation parameters associated with clinical response, and longitudinal changes in thalamocortical network activity. These findings are intended to provide preliminary information to support future studies of biomarker-guided and adaptive thalamic neuromodulation for generalized epilepsy.

Change in Liverpool Seizure Severity Scale 2.0 Total Score
Prazo: Baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 21 months post-implant
|
The Liverpool Seizure Severity Scale 2.0 is a patient-reported measure of the severity of the participant's most severe seizure during the previous 4 week period. The revised scoring system uses responses to 12 ictal and postictal severity items to calculate a single score that is linearly transformed to a scale from 0 to 100. A score of 0 represents no seizures and a score of 100 represents the most severe possible seizure; higher scores indicate greater seizure severity. A decrease from baseline indicates improvement. |
Baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 21 months post-implant

|
Change in Quality of Life in Epilepsy-31 Total Score
Prazo: Baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 21 months post-implant
|
The Quality of Life in Epilepsy-31 is a 31-item, patient-reported measure of epilepsy-specific health-related quality of life. It includes seven multi-item scales: seizure worry, overall quality of life, emotional well-being, energy/fatigue, cognitive functioning, medication effects, and social functioning. Item responses are converted to 0-to-100 scale scores according to the QOLIE-31 scoring manual. The overall score is calculated as a weighted average of the seven multi-item scale scores and ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life; a positive change from baseline indicates improvement. |

Change in NIH Toolbox Flanker Inhibitory Control and Attention Test Score
Prazo: Baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 21 months post-implant
|
The NIH Toolbox Flanker Inhibitory Control and Attention test measures attention and inhibitory control by requiring the participant to indicate the direction of a central target while ignoring flanking stimuli that may be congruent or incongruent. The computed score combines response accuracy and reaction time and ranges from 0 to 10. When accuracy is below 80%, the computed score is based on accuracy alone; when accuracy is 80% or higher, accuracy and reaction time are combined. Higher scores indicate better performance, reflecting greater accuracy and, among sufficiently accurate responses, faster reaction time; a positive change from baseline indicates improvement. |

|
The NIH Toolbox Picture Sequence Memory Test is an examiner-administered measure of episodic memory. The participant views an ordered series of pictures and then reconstructs the sequence. 1 point is awarded for each pair placed in the correct relative order; higher scores indicate better memory and a positive change indicates improvement. |
Baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 21 months post-implant
|
|
Change in NIH Toolbox Picture Vocabulary Test score
Prazo: Baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 21 months post-implant
|
The NIH Toolbox Picture Vocabulary Test is a computer-adaptive measure of receptive vocabulary. The participant hears a word and selects the picture that best matches it from four choices; subsequent items are selected based on prior responses. Responses are scored using item-response theory to estimate vocabulary ability. Higher scores indicate better receptive vocabulary, and a positive change from baseline indicates improvement. |

Change in Epworth Sleepiness Scale Total Score
Prazo: Baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 21 months post-implant
|
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is an 8-item, self-reported measure of usual daytime sleep propensity in common situations. Each situation is rated from 0 (would never doze) to 3 (high chance of dozing), and item ratings are summed to produce a total score from 0 to 24. Higher scores indicate greater daytime sleepiness. Common interpretive ranges are 0-10, normal; 11-14, mild sleepiness; 15-17, moderate sleepiness; and 18-24, severe sleepiness. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement. |
