Group 1: Study Overview - The trial involved 104 adult patients diagnosed with depression across eight sites, making it the largest randomized, controlled, blinded, multicenter trial of an accelerated Deep TMS protocol [2]. - Patients were divided into two groups: one receiving standard Deep TMS treatment and the other receiving the accelerated protocol [2]. Group 2: Treatment Protocol - The accelerated group underwent five sessions per day over six treatment days, followed by eight sessions over the next four weeks, significantly reducing the treatment burden [3]. - The primary endpoint was the change in depressive symptoms measured by the HDRS-21 scale, with secondary endpoints including response and remission rates [3]. Group 3: Key Findings - The accelerated Deep TMS group showed comparable efficacy with HDRS depression scores reduced by 18.9 points, while the standard group saw a reduction of 19.9 points [7]. - Response and remission rates were 87.8% and 78.0% for the accelerated group, compared to 87.5% and 87.5% for the standard group [7]. - Sessions for the accelerated protocol lasted less than 10 minutes, compared to 20 minutes for standard sessions [7]. - The median time to remission was 21 days for the accelerated group versus 28 days for the standard group [7]. - The accelerated protocol was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events reported, and side effects were mild [7]. Group 4: Company Commitment - BrainsWay emphasizes that innovation in mental health care involves not only new technology but also improving care delivery methods [5]. - The company is dedicated to expanding access to Deep TMS and advancing the field through scientific research [5]. - The accelerated protocol is investigational and not yet FDA-cleared, with preliminary results subject to further analysis and peer review [5]. Group 5: Company Background - BrainsWay is a leader in noninvasive neurostimulation treatments for mental health disorders, with a proprietary Deep TMS platform technology [8]. - The company has obtained three FDA-cleared indications for major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and smoking addiction [8]. - Founded in 2003, BrainsWay operates in the United States and Israel, focusing on increasing global awareness and access to Deep TMS [8].
