EpiCare@Home Validation Study for Focal Onset Seizures

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to validate a wearable seizure monitoring device, EpiCare@Home, as an objective seizure monitoring tool for people with focal onset epileptic seizures. The device continuously records brain, cardiorespiratory, and physical activity data. The study aims to 1) collect benchmark data for seizure detection algorithm development and validation, and 2) evaluate the performance of the device in clinical and at home workflows. Participants will wear the device during a routine Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) admission. Additionally, they can continue wearing the device at home after the EMU admission.

Clinical Trial Description

Epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent epileptic seizures of often complex etiology, affects 65 million people globally. The current reference for home use is self-reported outcomes (typically via a seizure diary) which leads to significant under and inaccurate reporting of seizures. As seizure counting is the basis for many medical decisions, the ability to accurately and unobtrusively log seizures during activities of daily living would: 1) improve clinical practice by reducing the need for patients to spend time in an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) and more quickly identify an appropriate treatment plan; and 2) provide a means to collect real-world data (RWD) for research and clinical purposes. EpiCare@Home is a multimodal device that can continuously record EEG with unobtrusive behind-the-ear electrodes, in addition to cardiorespiratory and physical motion data. The device is intended to be used by a trained healthcare professional (HCP) as a clinical decision support tool during the management of people with epilepsy. The clinical trial aims to analytically validate the performance of the seizure detection component of the device, specifically for focal onset seizures. In addition, it intends to clinically validate the ability of the device to support clinical workflows, from the perspective of healthcare professional and patient users alike. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
