TRANSCRIPT

The Prospective Study for Symptomatic Relief of Essential Tremor with Cala Therapy (PROSPECT) trial is registered with clinicaltrials.gov under identifier NCT03597100. This study was supported by Cala Health, Inc.

Clinical Trial Information*

These results suggest non-invasive transcutaneous a�erent patterned stimulation over a three-month period results in safe and e�ective reduction in hand tremor for essential tremor patients.

Conclusions

Patient survey results indicated 85% of patients found the device convenient and easy to use. 64% of patients reported persistent tremor relief lasting on average 96.7 ± 12 minutes (mean ± SEM) a�er a stimulation session. Device-related adverse events occurred in 18% of patients, with no reported device-related serious adverse events.

Device Usability & Safety

The median improvement ratio (pre-stimulation ÷ post-stimulation tremor power), was computed over all at-home stimulation sessions for each patient. Therapeutic e�icacy varied across the population, but 92% of patients showed improvement in tremor power and 54% showed at least a 2-fold improvement in tremor power.

Per-Patient Tremor Power Reduction Over All Therapy Sessions

The device’s onboard accelerometers measured postural hold tremor power before and immediately a�er stimulation for each at-home therapy session. Analysis of simultaneously-recorded postural hold TETRAS rating and tremor power at clinic visit 1 confirmed these measures were correlated (r = 0.66, p < 0.0001) and that tremor power could be used as a valid remote measurement of therapeutic e�icacy. In total, 193 patients completed 21,806 home therapy sessions over the 90-day trial.

Severity Classification Changes

Patients’ total dominant hand TETRAS and Bain & Findley ADL ratings were classified as either Slight (corresponding to an average rating across tasks of 0 - 1), Mild (>1 - 2), Moderate (>2 - 3), or Severe (>3 - 4). Average rating is total rating divided by 6 (TETRAS) or 8 (Bain & Findley ADL). Tremor severity improved with therapy: 62% (on TETRAS) and 68% (on Bain & Findley ADL) of patients who were rated as Moderate or Severe at baseline improved to Slight or Mild post-stimulation at the final clinic visit.

TETRAS (le�) and Bain & Findley ADL (right) dominant hand score improved before and a�er the therapy session conducted at each visit (n = 205, p < 0.0001). Post-stimulation tremor ratings a�er three months of therapy were significantly better than baseline pre-stimulation tremor ratings (p < 0.0001). In all plots, error bars represent ±1 standard error of the mean, and * indicates p < 0.0001.

Pre- and Post-Stimulation Per Clinic Visit

Tremor severity was quantified using the physician-rated Tremor Research Group Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS) and patient-rated Bain & Findley Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Scale before and a�er stimulation at each clinic visit. Co-primary clinical endpoints were TETRAS and Bain & Findley ADL score changes from baseline (pre-stimulation, Visit 1) to study conclusion (post-stimulation, Visit 3).

Primary Clinical Endpoints: Tremor Ratings

The patient’s tremor frequency was captured from a 20 second postural hold. The peak tremor frequency was determined onboard the device and used to determine a patient-specific stimulation pattern.

The device consisted of a stimulator and detachable band containing two working electrodes positioned over the median and radial nerves, and a counter-electrode positioned on the dorsal surface of the wrist.

Patients were seen for three in-clinic visits for study inclusion screening and to establish tremor baseline (Visit 1), and for one-month (Visit 2) and three-month (Visit 3) follow-ups. Following screening, patients were fitted with the TAPS device on the dominant hand. The stimulation frequency was calibrated to each patient’s tremor frequency, and stimulation amplitude was increased to each patient’s comfort level. Following device calibration and initial evaluation of therapy e�icacy, patients were instructed to use the device on their dominant hand at home for 40-minute stimulation sessions twice-daily. 205 patients completed their third in-clinic visit and were included in the primary clinical endpoint analyses. 193 of the 205 patients had valid at-home session data and were included in the secondary kinematic analyses.
