入选标准

  • Clinical diagnosis of medically refractory epilepsy with primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (limited to 20 subjects) or partial onset seizures including complex partial seizures with or without secondary generalization (limited to 20 subjects).
  • Must be on adjunctive antiepileptic medications.
  • Willing and capable to undergo multiple evaluations with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG).
  • 4(A) For subjects with partial onset seizures: An average of ≥ 3 countable seizures per month based on seizure diary during the 3 month baseline period and no seizure-free interval greater than 30 days during those 3 months.
  • 4(B) For subjects with PGTCs: Have at least ≥ 3 countable seizures during the 3 month baseline period. Note: Each seizure within a cluster may be counted as separate seizures.
  • 12 years of age or older.
  • Subject is a male or non-pregnant female adequately protected from conception. Females of childbearing potential must use an acceptable method of birth control.
  • Provide written informed consent-assent/Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization and self-reported measures with minimal assistance as determined by the investigator.

排除标准

  • Currently using, or are expected to use, short-wave diathermy, microwave diathermy, or therapeutic ultrasound diathermy.
  • A VNS Therapy System implant would (in the investigator's judgment) pose an unacceptable surgical or medical risk for the subject.
  • A planned procedure that is contraindicated for VNS therapy.
  • History of implantation of the VNS Therapy System.
  • Currently receiving treatment from an active implantable medical device.
  • Presence of contraindications to MRI per the MRI subject screening record.
  • Known clinically meaningful cardiovascular arrhythmias currently being managed by devices or treatments that interfere with normal intrinsic heart rate responses (e.g., pacemaker dependency, implantable defibrillator, beta adrenergic blocker medications).
  • History of chronotropic incompetence (commonly seen in subjects with sustained bradycardia [heart rate < 50 bpm]).
  • Cognitive or psychiatric deficit that in the investigator's judgment would interfere with the subject's ability to accurately complete study assessments.
  • History of status epilepticus within 1 year of study enrollment.
  • Dependent on alcohol or narcotic drugs as defined by DSM IV-TR within the past 2 years, based on history. Tests for drug or alcohol use will not be administered.
  • Currently being treated with prescribed medication that contains cannabis or cannabis related substance including recreational use.
  • Any history of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.
  • Currently participating in another clinical study without LivaNova written approval.

结局指标

主要结局

Safety Primary Endpoint: Occurrence of stimulation related Adverse Events

时间窗: Up to 12 months study visit

Assess stimulation/device related adverse events at follow-up visits month 6 and 12.

Efficacy Primary Endpoint: Percent change from baseline in seizure frequency

时间窗: Up to 12 months study visit

For the primary endpoint, the change in the seizure frequency per month compared to baseline will be evaluated for each subject at follow-up visits month 6 and 12.

次要结局

  • Change from baseline in seizure frequency per month based on seizure diary provided by the sponsor(Up to 12 months study visit)
  • All adverse events(Up to 12 months visit)
  • Change from baseline in seizure severity(Up to 12 months study visit)
  • Change from baseline in antiepileptic drug (AED) load(Up to 12 months study visit)
  • Suicidality as measured by the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)(Up to 12 months study visit)
  • Change from baseline in quality of life(Up to 12 months study visit)
