Unilateral and Staged Bilateral Pallidothalamic Tractotomy Using Exablate MRgFUS in Advanced Parkinson's Disease. (FREEDOM)
An MR Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) Randomized Trial Using the Exablate Neuro System to Assess the Effectiveness and Safety Outcomes of Unilateral and Staged Bilateral Ablation in the Subthalamic Region Involving the Pallidothalamic Tract (PTT) in Advanced Parkinson's Disease (PD) With Motor Complications.
This study is a randomized clinical trial evaluating a focused ultrasound treatment for people with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) who have disabling motor complications and symptoms.
The study uses the Exablate Neuro System, which delivers MR-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS). This technology focuses ultrasound energy on a specific brain target and generates heat to create a small lesion (ablation) without making a surgical incision.
The target in this study is the Pallidothalamic Tract (PTT), a pathway involved in the abnormal brain circuits that contribute to Parkinson's symptoms and complications.
This study is evaluating whether treating one side of the brain or treating both sides (in separate procedures) provides better outcomes for people with advanced Parkinson's disease who have motor complications and symptoms.
The main outcome measure is the change in the MDS-UPDRS Part III Upper/Lower Extremity (ULE) score at 3 months after first and second side treatment, compared with the respective control groups.
MDS-UPDRS Part III is a standard clinical scale used to assess Parkinson's motor symptoms. ULE score focuses on motor function in the arms and legs. Assessments are performed in the OFF-medication state, meaning Parkinson's medications are temporarily withheld so that the treatment effect can be measured more accurately.
In addition improvement in motor complications will be assessed with MDS-UPDRS Part IV and Patient diaries.

상세 설명
A Post Approval Study (US) / Pre Market Extension Study (Outside US), international prospective, multi-center, assessor-blinded, two-stage (2:1) randomized controlled trial evaluating successive Exablate treatment (first and second side) versus BMT (Best Medical Treatment).
In individuals eligible for the staged, bilateral Exablate PTT procedure, building on evidence from the predicate pivotal staged bilateral study that led to PMA approval in the United States, this trial aims to evaluate the successive treatment of 1st and 2nd side Exablate PTT ablation using a two-stage randomized controlled design. In Stage 1, patients will be randomized to receive either 1st side PTT procedure or best medical treatment (BMT). Patients who initially randomized to receive BMT will cross over to receive 1st side PTT procedure after 3 months (if they still qualify for the treatment). All patients will continue to be followed through a 6-month period post 1st side treatment. All eligible patients who reach Stage 2 will be re-randomized to undergo 2nd side PTT procedure or continue with BMT. Patients randomized to receive BMT in stage 2 will cross over to receive 2nd side PTT procedure after 3 months (if they still qualify for the treatment). All patients will continue to be followed through a 12-month period post 2nd side treatment. This design enables evaluation between staged-bilateral treatment, unilateral treatment alone, and standard of care (SOC)/BMT medical therapy. This study will generate real-world comparative data to better inform decision-makers about the generalizability in subthalamic region ablations involving the PTT. Outcomes will be assessed using relevant lateralized Parkinson-specific clinical scales, measures of functional impairment, disease-specific quality of life, adverse events, and patient-reported perceptions of overall treatment effectiveness.
