We’re excited to announce completion of patient enrollment in our US-based COMMAND trial, which enrolled a total of six patients and is being conducted under the first investigational device exemption (IDE) awarded by the FDA to a company assessing a permanently implanted BCI. 🧠🧠🧠

The early feasibility study assesses safety while evaluating quantified efficacy measures of the Synchron Switch™ motor #neuroprosthesis in patients with severe paralysis.

Thank you to our clinical sites: Mount Sinai Health System in New York City, University at Buffalo Neurosurgery and UPMC, in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University College of Engineering. The study is being conducted with support from the NIH BRAIN Initiative.

“We would like to thank everyone who partnered with us to complete this important clinical trial enrollment milestone, especially patients and caregivers as well as the physicians and research staff at our clinical sites in the United States,” said Thomas Oxley, MD, PhD, CEO & Founder, Synchron. “We look forward to announcing the results from our COMMAND study and will continue to advance development of Synchron Switch towards a pivotal clinical trial in the US.”

Join us today, November 1st, at 2:15 PM ET as our CEO, Thomas Oxley, presents the latest advancements in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology at #ACRM2023. He will discuss their transformative impact on individuals with severe paralysis, along with Dr. David Putrino from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Dr. Raul Nogueira from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. They cover the following learning objectives:  
 
🧠 Describe the current state of the art for brain computer interfaces (BCI) for enabling individuals with paralysis to operate an external device. 
🧠 Define current safety and efficacy challenges in the field of BCI. 
🧠 Describe how future improvements in BCI may enable individuals with paralysis to gain improved independence and quality of life.

It was great to come together with our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. J Mocco of Mount Sinai Health System, and a distinguished group of experts, including Dr. Shahram Majidi of Mount Sinai Health System, Dr. Raul Nogueira of UPMC, Dr. Elad Levy, Dr. Nandor Pinter, MD, & Dr. Kenneth Snyder of University at Buffalo Neurosurgery (UBNS), Dr. Jens Fiehler of Universitätsklinikum Hamburg Eppendorf, and Dr. Rahul Sharma of Stanford University School of Medicine, to discuss next steps following successful enrollment for our COMMAND trial. Synchron secured the industry's first FDA-approved clinical trial for a permanently implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) in the United States. 

This milestone represents a significant advancement in minimally-invasive BCI technology. Our collective efforts aim to empower individuals with motor impairment by enabling them to control digital devices. This transformative technology holds the promise of positively impacting both users as well as their caregivers and families. 
 
We look forward to advancing a scalable BCI solution and sharing further updates as we progress!

Thanks MassDevice Tom Salemi and team for inviting our Chief Commercial Officer Kurt Haggstrom to present on our #BCI journey at Synchron. 

Great crowd and great questions today! 🙏🙏

Thanks Jim Hammerand, managing editor at Medical Design & Outsourcing for speaking with our CEO Thomas Oxley and dispelling some myths about #BCIs. 

The biggest BCI misconception is that a BCI to treat paralysis must restore the movement of a patient’s arm or leg, Oxley said. That might be the case one day, but for now Synchron is focused on a simpler task.

“What we’re focused on is building a control language that can lead to control of a range of things, which may include an arm or a leg or exoskeleton or prosthesis, but actually, in the first instance, is controlling smart devices — iPhones,” he said. 📱📱📱
