Deep Cervical Lymphovenous Anastomosis for Severe Alzheimer's Disease (DCLVA-AD)
2026年6月21日 更新者:Rong Hu, MD、Southwest Hospital, China
A Single-arm, Prospective, Self-controlled Study on Efficacy and Safety of Deep Cervical Lymphovenous Anastomosis for Neurological Function in Patients With Severe Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe neurodegenerative disease with heavy social burden.
Current drugs cannot reverse disease progression.
Brain glymphatic system and meningeal lymphatic dysfunction lead to impaired clearance of Aβ and Tau protein, which is an important pathogenesis of AD.
Deep cervical lymphovenous anastomosis (DCLVA) can improve intracranial lymphatic drainage, promote the clearance of toxic proteins, and improve neurological function.
This is a single-arm, prospective, self-controlled study to enroll 59 patients with severe AD (MMSE < 10).
All patients receive bilateral DCLVA plus routine medication.
The primary endpoint is change of CDR-SB score at 12 months post-operation.
Secondary endpoints include MMSE, ZBI scores and Aβ PET-CT Centiloid value.
This study aims to verify the efficacy and safety of DCLVA for severe AD.

干预/治疗 |
|---|---|
|
实验性的:Deep Cervical Lymphovenous Anastomosis plus Routine Treatment
All participants receive one-time bilateral deep cervical lymphovenous anastomosis under microsurgery with indocyanine green lymphatic tracing.
Conventional anti-Alzheimer's drugs are maintained throughout the study.
All outcomes are compared with pre-operation baseline.
|
A one-time microsurgical procedure performed under general anesthesia.
Indocyanine green (ICG) is injected for intraoperative lymphatic vessel tracing under a fluorescent surgical microscope.
Lymphatic vessels or lymphatic flaps are anastomosed to cervical veins via end-to-side or end-to-end technique to improve intracranial lymphatic drainage.
No additional surgical interventions are applied.
Stable administration of standard drugs for Alzheimer's disease, including cholinesterase inhibitors and/or NMDA receptor antagonists, following clinical guidelines.
Participants continue their original medication regimen throughout the whole study period without dose adjustment or drug switching.

研究衡量的是什么?
主要结果指标
结果测量 |
措施说明 |
大体时间 |
|---|---|---|
|
Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) Total Score
大体时间:Baseline (pre-operation), 12 months after surgery
|
The CDR-SB total score ranges from 0 to 18 points.
Higher scores indicate more severe cognitive impairment and functional decline.
This outcome evaluates the change of total CDR-SB score in patients with severe Alzheimer's disease after receiving deep cervical lymphovenous anastomosis, to assess the therapeutic effect on neurological function.

Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) Total Score
大体时间:Baseline (pre-operation), 1 month and 6 months after surgery
|
The CDR-SB total score ranges from 0 to 18 points.
Higher scores indicate more severe cognitive impairment and functional decline.
This outcome evaluates the change of total CDR-SB score in patients with severe Alzheimer's disease after receiving deep cervical lymphovenous anastomosis, to assess the therapeutic effect on neurological function.

|
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) Score
大体时间:Baseline (pre-operation), 1 month, 6 months and 12 months after surgery
|
MMSE total score ranges from 0 to 30.
Higher scores represent better cognitive function.
A score below 10 indicates severe cognitive impairment.
This measure assesses changes in overall cognitive status after surgical intervention.
|
Baseline (pre-operation), 1 month, 6 months and 12 months after surgery
|
|
Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) Score
大体时间:Baseline (pre-operation), 1 month, 6 months and 12 months after surgery
|
ZBI total score ranges from 0 to 88.
Higher scores mean heavier caregiver burden.
It is used to evaluate the impact of treatment on the psychological and life burden of patients' caregivers.
|

|
|
Amyloid-beta (Aβ) PET-CT Centiloid Value

|
Centiloid value reflects the level of cerebral amyloid-beta deposition.
