Newronika Sets Stage for U.S. Clinical Trial with FDA's Investigational Device Exemption for Adaptive DBS Technology

Newronika Receives IDE from FDA for Adaptive DBS Trials

In an exciting development for the field of neuromodulation, Newronika, an innovative company dedicated to transforming deep brain stimulation (DBS), has announced that it has been granted an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This landmark decision will allow Newronika to commence a pivotal clinical trial in the United States, focusing on the safety and effectiveness of its adaptive DBS system for individuals dealing with movement disorders, particularly Parkinson’s disease.

The IDE approval is a significant milestone for Newronika, highlighting the company's commitment to advancing personalized medical solutions. Dr. Lorenzo Rossi, Co-Founder and CEO of Newronika, articulated the achievement as a recognition of the company’s potential to address a crucial unmet need in the U.S. market. By offering real-time brain stimulation tailored to each patient's unique needs, Newronika aims to bring forth transformative improvements in managing neurological conditions.

Innovations in Adaptive DBS Technology

What sets Newronika’s adaptive DBS system apart is its ability to adjust therapy in real time based on feedback from the patient's brain signals. This continuous optimization ensures that stimulation remains personalized, potentially leading to enhanced therapeutic outcomes and minimized side effects compared to traditional DBS methods.

The pivotal trial will involve participation from several leading clinical centers across the U.S. and internationally, comparing the performance of Newronika's adaptive DBS with conventional DBS systems in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease. Results from this rigorous evaluation will be indispensable in paving the way for regulatory approval of the AlphaDBS system in the United States.

Professor Dr. Med. Jens Volkmann, who will serve as the principal investigator of the study, expressed enthusiasm about the potential implications of this trial. He remarked on the importance of exploring how real-time, patient-specific brain stimulation can advance symptom management for those suffering from Parkinson’s disease, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.

Commitment to Neurological Health

Founded as a spin-off from the University of Milan and the Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, Newronika is headquartered in Milan, Italy. The company’s innovative approach aims to push the boundaries of neurotechnology, striving to move beyond conventional modalities. With ongoing research partnerships and recent FDA approval, Newronika is well-positioned to lead in the next generation of therapeutic innovations for neurological disorders.

As the company forges ahead with its ambitions in the United States and across Europe, its core mission remains steadfast: to change the landscape of neurological care through advanced neuromodulation technology. With the IDE now in hand, Newronika is one step closer to fulfilling this vision, promising a brighter future for patients living with movement disorders.
