简要总结

This study employed a multicenter, randomized controlled trial (RCT) design to evaluate the efficacy and safety of deep cervical lymphatic/lymph node-venous anastomosis combined with oral donepezil compared to donepezil monotherapy in patients with Alzheimer's disease and moderate dementia. Participants were randomized using a central randomization system with stratified block design, with the study center and age group (50-64 years, 65-80 years) as stratification factors. While study participants and surgical investigators could not be blinded due to the nature of the intervention, efficacy assessors and imaging specialists remained blinded to ensure the objectivity and reliability of the findings. The intervention group received deep cervical lymphatic/lymph node-venous anastomosis (detailed surgical procedure is specified in the protocol) in combination with oral donepezil (5-10 mg/day), while the control group received oral donepezil alone. The total treatment and follow-up period was 18 months, with assessments conducted at baseline, 1 week, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 18 months post-operation. These included neuropsychological evaluations (MMSE, MoCA, CDR, BADL, IADL, NPI, AES), neuroimaging (MRI, PET, ultrasound), fluid biomarker analyses (CSF and blood levels of Aβ, Tau, neuroinflammatory factors, etc.), and safety monitoring. The primary efficacy endpoint was the change in CDR-SB score at 12 months post-treatment. Secondary endpoints included changes in multiple cognitive scales, neuroimaging metrics, and biomarkers at 18 months. Safety indicators encompassed adverse event recording, vital signs, and laboratory tests.

结局指标

主要结局

Change From Baseline in Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes Score at Month 12

时间窗: Baseline and Month 12

The Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes is a clinician-rated measure of dementia severity. The score ranges from 0 to 18, with higher scores indicating greater impairment and more severe dementia. The outcome measure is the change from baseline to Month 12. The scale will be administered face to face by trained evaluators blinded to treatment assignment, and results will be reviewed by an independent endpoint adjudication committee.
