Robotic-Enabled Microsurgical Intervention for Neurodegenerative Disease - A Global, Prospective, Early Feasibility Study in Alzheimer's Patients
MMI (Medical Microinstruments, Inc.)
Summary
The objective of this investigational device exemption (IDE) study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of using the Symani System and microsurgical techniques in the deep cervical lymph node (dCLN) region in the setting of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease and lymphatic abnormalities.
Description
A prospective, multi-center, early feasibility study, designed to evaluate the Symani System's safety and feasibility for performing microsurgical techniques in the dCLN region to improve clearance of neurotoxins, such as amyloid-beta and phosphorylated tau, in patients with confirmed mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease and lymphatic abnormalities in the dCLN region.
