Evaluation of the 24/7 EEG SubQ System for Ultra Long-Term Recording of Patients With Epilepsy Involving the Temporal Lobe Region.
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Epilepsy
In brief
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 epilepsy involving the temporal lobe region . 2-5 sites in Europe Up to 10 sites in US

Who can join
Age: 18 and older, up to 75. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Subject is 18-75 years old.
- Semiology of seizures compatible with temporal lobe involvement.
- Paraclinical findings supporting temporal seizure involvement. 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.
You may not qualify if…
- 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:
- antiplatelets
- anticoagulants
- chemotherapeutics
- 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 is involved in therapies with other active implantable devices that deliver electrical energy above the clavicular area, such as implantable brain stimulation, external/transcranial brain stimulation, vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) and cochlear implant(s).
- Subject is pregnant
- Subject has contraindicated profession or hobby
- Subject is scheduled to undergo contraindicated treatments/investigations
- Infection at the implant site
- Subject has contraindication to the use of anesthetic used for in/ex plantation.
- Subject is unable to use/operate the device system
- Subject has abnormal Laboratory findings as follows:
- Serum creatinine ≥ 3 times upper reference value
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase or bilirubin ≥ 3 times upper reference value
- Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) \> 50 seconds
- thrombocyte count \< 50 or \>1000 x 109/L
- International Normalised Ratio (INR) ≥ 1.6
- Any other clinical or paraclinical finding that in the opinion of the Investigator would interfere with participation in the study or would confound interpretation of the study results.
