Study Summary

The RNS® System is intended to treat patients with medically refractory (hard to treat) epilepsy. The RNS® System Feasibility study is designed to demonstrate safety and evidence of effectiveness of the RNS® System to support the commencement of a pivotal clinical investigation.

Primary Outcome

RNS® System Acute SAE Rate = the percentage of subjects having a serious adverse event (SAE) for the surgical implant procedure and the following month (28 days), whether reported as device-related or not. This outcome measure is met when the upper limit of the one-sided 95% confidence interval of the observed RNS® System Acute SAE Rate does not exceed the upper limit of the one-sided 95% confidence interval of the literature-based acute SAE rate associated with the implantation of intracranial

Interventions

  • PROCEDURE RNS® System implantation
  • DEVICE RNS® System responsive stimulation
