NeuroOne® Announces First in Human Ablations Completed with OneRF™ Ablation System

Five ablations performed successfully in one patient

Procedure performed at patient’s bedside saving time and cost associated with the operating room

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., June 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: NMTC) (“NeuroOne” or the “Company”), a medical technology company focused on improving surgical care options and outcomes for patients suffering from neurological disorders, today announced that the OneRF Ablation System was recently used at a prestigious hospital located in Jacksonville, Florida to successfully complete five ablations in one patient.

The patient was suffering from multifocal epilepsy, a condition whereby seizures are triggered from multiple areas of the brain. In this procedure, ten Evo^® sEEG electrodes, were placed in various locations of the patient’s brain. Four electrodes identified problematic areas of the brain that were triggering seizures. Ablations were performed at the targeted areas using the temperature control safety feature, and two of these ablations occurred at different contacts on one electrode. Using the same electrodes, the successful ablations were confirmed by post ablation sEEG recordings demonstrating lack of brain activity at the point of tissue ablation. The procedure was performed at the patient’s bedside saving both the time and cost of having to conduct the procedure in an operating room.

“It was exciting for the Company to witness the first clinical ablations performed using the OneRF Ablation System. The ability to safely perform these procedures at the patient’s bedside will reduce operating room time and cost, freeing up the operating room to conduct additional procedures,” said Dave Rosa, CEO of NeuroOne. “We look forward to additional procedures utilizing the system with the goal of providing a safe therapy for patients to both monitor and ablate problematic brain tissue. In the future, the Company intends to leverage the OneRF generator with future FDA submissions for additional ablation applications.”

The OneRF^™ Ablation System is NeuroOne’s first device with a therapeutic indication and its third FDA 510(k)-cleared device. NeuroOne now boasts a full line of thin film electrode technology to address patients requiring diagnostic brain mapping procedures as well as RF ablation using the same sEEG electrode. In addition to the OneRF^™ Ablation System, NeuroOne’s other FDA-cleared devices include the Evo^® cortical and sEEG electrode product lines which are used primarily for stimulation, recording and monitoring of electrical activity in the brain for less than 30 days.

NeuroOne estimates the current brain ablation market to be at least $100M worldwide and growing rapidly, with the potential to grow multifold based on large addressable patient populations with unmet clinical needs.
