  • Research efforts started around 20 years ago
  • Principle: Electrical stimulation of remaining cells
  • Scientific basis: Experience with Cochlear implants

however visual system is much more complex

  • Approx. 10 research groups / companies active worldwide

History of „Retinal Implant“

  • Larger number of electrodes
  • Surgical procedure
  • Biocompatibility
  • Degree of compensation by the brain

Clinical Development Strategy

Acute clinical trial (20 patients suffering from Retinitis Pigmentosa) Proof of Principle Early Chronic Human Trial (3 to 5 Retinitis Pigmentosa patients) Pivotal Trial (approx. 70 patients) Proof of Feasibility Pivotal Trial for CE mark and FDA approval Point Pattern Picture

  • Acute clinical trial
  • Successful completion of acute clinical study with patients

suffering from Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) in 2004

  • Concept: increasing levels of stimulation triggered several

times during a period of 45 minutes to determine stimulation thresholds

  • Key result: 19 out of 20 patients reported that visual

perception had been triggered by electrical stimulation

  • Proof of principle that epiretinal electrical stimulation

works in most patients with RP

  • Early Chronic Human Trial
  • Start: Q4-2005, Europe
  • Concept: long term implantation of implant with 49

electrodes in 3 to 5 Retinitis Pigmentosa patients for up to 18 months (results after 1-2 months)

  • Key end point of feasibility study: differentiation

between simple objects

  • Pivotal Trial
  • Start:

Q4-2006 Europe Q2 2007 U.S.

  • Concept: Multi-center study in EU and U.S. on approx. 70

patients; 3 months enrollment, 3 months surgical procedures, 6 (EU) to 12 months (U.S.) follow-up (safety)

  • Study endpoint: Test of orientation capabilities of

patients in unknown environment (mobility test)

  • Pre-IDE FDA-Meeting (June 2005): positive feedback on

pre-clinical / clinical program

  • Early Chronic Human Trail to start by end 2005
  • Design freeze for the final Implant system in Q1/2006
  • Prototypes of the Entire System available in Q2/2006
  • First series production finalized in Q4/2006
  • Start pivotal trail end Q4/2006
  • CE-Mark: Q IV/2007
