Not Applicable
Conditions
Parkinson Disease
Neurologic Manifestations
Interventions
Device: Exablate Bilateral Subthalamotomy
Registration Number
NCT03964272
Lead Sponsor
InSightec
Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to test the safety and preliminary efficacy of staged bilateral subthalamotomy performed using the ExAblate Transcranial System for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) motor features

Detailed Description

The objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence and severity of adverse events (AE/AEs) associated with ExAblate Transcranial Magnetic Resonance Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) bilateral staged subthalamotomy for the treatment of PD motor features. To determine the effectiveness of the ExAblate Transcranial staged bilateral subthalamotomy to treat cardinal motor features of subjects with PD.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety: Adverse EventsTreatment through 6 month

To evaluate the incidence and severity of adverse events (AE/AEs) associated with ExAblate subthalamotomy for the treatment of PD motor features.

Primary Efficacy: Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Off Medication StatusTreatment through 6 month

Effectiveness of the ExAblate Transcranial staged bilateral subthalamotomy by analyzing mean change (reduction from baseline to 6 months) in the motor MDS-UPDRS score in the treated group as compared with baseline in the off-medication condition

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quality of life assessmentTreatment through 6 month

Improved Quality of life assessment with the PDQ39

MDS-UPDRS (Part I, II and IV)Treatment through 6 month

MDS UPDRS I, II and IV

Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) On Medication StatusTreatment through 6 month

- Mean change (reduction) in the motor MDS-UPDRS score in the on-medication condition (when applicable)

MDS-UPDRSTreatment through 12 month

- Mean change (reduction) in specific PD motor features (i.e., tremor, rigidity and akinesia according to MDS-UPDRS III subscores)
