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.

Exclusion Criteria
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Short tests of memory and thinking, each scored out of 30. Lower scores suggest more difficulty; criteria give a range, either to include people with memory problems or to leave them out.
The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².
Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Procedure: Cervical lymph vessel/node-venous anastomosis surgery combined with oral donepezil · Drug: Oral treatment with donepezil
Drug: Oral treatment with donepezil
Under total intravenous anesthesia, the patient is placed supine with the head turned and shoulders elevated. A transverse neck incision is made, the platysma is opened, and the external jugular vein and great auricular nerve are exposed and protected. Dissection proceeds along the sternocleidomastoid muscle and carotid sheath to create two lymphatic composite flaps: a lateral IIB/III flap rich in deep cervical lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels, and a medial IIA flap containing the angular lymph node. Both flaps are prepared to ensure continuous lymphatic fluid outflow. Revascularization is then performed by end-to-end anastomosis of the IIA flap to a branch of the common facial vein or external jugular vein, and end-to-side anastomosis of the IIB/III flap to the internal or external jugular vein. After the anastomosis is completed, the incision is sutured layer by layer for cosmetic purposes.
Drug page: Donepezil
After randomly assigned into the group, the study participants were given donepezil orally (the cervical lymph vessel/node-venous anastomosis surgery combined with oral donepezil group began to take donepezil orally on the first day after operation, and the oral donepezil group began to take donepezil after completing the baseline examination), once a day, before sleep, starting at 5 mg/day, and adjusted to 10 mg/day after 6 weeks; if not tolerated, it will be maintained at 5 mg/day, continued for 6 weeks, and then 10 mg/day will be attempted again, with continuous administration for 18 months. If research participants still cannot tolerate the high dose, they may be maintained at 5 mg/day for 18 months.

Start is estimated for Jul 2026; primary completion for Sep 2028, 26 months later.
Of 885 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Alzheimer Disease, half reached primary completion within 30 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 51. This study's planned 26 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 962 studies reached it within 29 months; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 51.
