What this phase means
This study does not use the classic phase 1–4 drug ladder. It may be a device, a behavior program, a surgery timing study, or an early feasibility test.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Receipt of the Minder System (implantable sub-scalp continuous electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring (iCEM) system). The registry lists allocation as randomized. The purpose of this research is to address the challenges of diagnosing and long-term management of epilepsy in participants whose seizures are not well captured by standard electroencephalography (EEG) tests and who cannot use or are not able to use more standard monitoring techniques.
They plan to enroll about 210 people at 23 sites. Taking part typically means using or being fitted with a device plus check-ins.
Official title (unrewritten)
A Prospective Study to Evaluate the Use of the Minder Device to Aid in Developing a Treatment Plan After Inconclusive Prolonged EEG in Patients With Epilepsy
Interventions: Receipt of the Minder System (implantable sub-scalp continuous electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring (iCEM) system)
Primary outcome (registry wording): Compare the proportion of participants receiving the Minder System with those receiving Standard of Care (SOC) as a means of obtaining an actionable event based on clinical data (i.e. Minder EEG data, non-Minder EEG data, SOC assessments, etc.).
