This drug is under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Below is a timeline of key regulatory milestones for this therapy.
- Drug:
- RNS System
- Announced Date:
- April 8, 2025
- Indication:
- Drug-resistant idiopathic generalized epilepsy
Announcement
NeuroPace, Inc. announced three-year effectiveness data from the Post-Approval Study (PAS) of the RNS® System, which showed an 82% median reduction in seizures in adults treated with brain-responsive stimulation for drug-resistant focal epilepsy (DRE).1
AI Summary
NeuroPace, Inc. recently announced exciting three-year data from its Post-Approval Study (PAS) of the RNS® System, the largest FDA-reviewed neuromodulation study in drug-resistant focal epilepsy. The study, which enrolled 324 patients, showed a median seizure reduction of 82% at three years in adults treated with brain-responsive stimulation. In addition, 42% of patients achieved seizure freedom for at least six months, while rapid improvements were seen with a 62% median reduction in seizures at six months. These results highlight the continued effectiveness and safety of the RNS System, reinforcing its role as the only FDA-approved device that provides personalized, real-time brain-responsive neurostimulation for drug-resistant epilepsy. Presenting these findings at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting, NeuroPace’s study adds valuable evidence supporting the use of targeted neuromodulation to improve the quality of life for patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy.

- Announced Date:
- December 3, 2024
- Indication:
- Drug-resistant idiopathic generalized epilepsy
Announcement
NeuroPace, Inc. announced completion of enrollment and implant procedures in its feasibility investigational device exemption (IDE) study of the RNS® System for the treatment of Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS), a devastating form of childhood-onset epilepsy characterized by cognitive dysfunction and frequent generalized onset seizures that often lead to injury.
AI Summary
NeuroPace, Inc. announced that it has completed enrollment and the implant procedures in its feasibility investigational device exemption (IDE) study using the RNS® System for treating Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS). LGS is a severe form of childhood-onset epilepsy that leads to cognitive challenges and frequent generalized seizures, which often cause injury. The study enrolled 20 patients aged 12 and older with drug-resistant generalized seizures to evaluate whether brain-responsive neurostimulation can help manage LGS. The research is supported by a $9.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health through the BRAIN Initiative. Although the RNS System is already known for its safety and effectiveness in treating focal onset seizures in adults, this study aims to explore its potential to improve treatment outcomes for patients with LGS. The team now looks forward to gathering valuable data that may guide future research and treatment options for LGS.
