SOW #1

Rapport Therapeutics and NeuroPace Collaboration: Proposed Scope of Work and Budget to support Phase 2a proof-of-concept study of first-in-class TARP-g8 negative allosteric modulator (RAP-219)

Project Summary and Scope:

Rapport Therapeutics is planning to study a first-in-class anti-seizure medication in focal onset seizure patients with implanted intracranial responsive neurostimulator RNS devices (“Project”). The RNS System is an approved pioneering treatment device for patients with focal onset seizures refractory to available medical therapies. The device monitors, detects and records epileptiform activity with implanted electrodes and thus allows for sensitive, ambulatory monitoring of epileptiform activity within the epilepsy-onset zone of focal onset seizure patients.

Successful execution of this proof-of-concept study has the potential to help Rapport Therapeutics demonstrate the efficacy of an experimental therapeutic (RAP-219), and to further demonstrate that NeuroPace’s RNS device offers a sensitive means of rapidly determining the activity of novel therapeutic agents in focal onset seizure patients. Success of this study will also demonstrate the power of existing data resources within the NeuroPace database, and the inherent power of ambulatory electrocorticographic (ECoG) biomarkers and their potential use in prospective studies of patients with RNS. In addition, the data obtained in this study will further support the use of RNS ECoG data as a physiologic tool to monitor patient outcomes.

Successful execution and operation of the clinical trial will require close collaboration and data sharing between Rapport and NeuroPace and will require negotiation of a more detailed/collaboration services agreement.

Data Definitions

Data collected by the NeuroPace® RNS® System and metrics derived from RNS® System data will be provided by NeuroPace to Rapport, as described here. RNS System data are downloaded from the RNS Neurostimulator each time it is interrogated by the patient or clinician, then uploaded to the RNS Patient Data Management System (PDMS). Data and derived metrics will be documented and provided at specified intervals and on demand in CSV formatted text files to facilitate subsequent analysis. Raw data supporting the derived metrics will not be provided. Rapport is permitted to share the provided data and derived metrics with authorized third parties detailed in the MSA. The time range of the data provided will be determined by the study protocol and may include both retrospective and prospective data.
