NeuroPace Completes Enrollment In Feasibility Study Of RNS System For Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome; Received A $9.3M National Institutes Of Health Grant Through The Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies Initiative To Evaluate Its Responsive Neuromodulation Technology In Those Who Suffer From LGS
NeuroPace, Inc. (NASDAQ:NPCE), a commercial-stage medical device company focused on transforming the lives of people living with epilepsy, today announced completion of enrollment and implant procedures in its feasibility investigational device exemption (IDE) study of the RNS System for the treatment of Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS), a devastating form of childhood-onset epilepsy characterized by cognitive dysfunction and frequent generalized onset seizures that often lead to injury.
The IDE study uses the RNS System, which has demonstrated safety and effectiveness of brain-responsive stimulation for treating medically intractable focal onset seizures in people 18 and older, to evaluate whether brain-responsive neurostimulation can also be used to treat LGS.
NeuroPace received a $9.3 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant through the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative to evaluate its responsive neuromodulation technology in those who suffer from LGS. The IDE study funded by the grant was conducted at six sites and enrolled a total of 20 patients 12 years of age and older with LGS and drug-resistant generalized onset seizures. The study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the RNS System in treating seizures associated with LGS.
