Indications for Use
The Exablate Neuro is indicated for use in the unilateral pallidotomy of patients with advanced, idiopathic Parkinson’s disease with medication-refractory moderate to severe motor complications as an adjunct to Parkinson’s disease medication treatment. Patients must be at least age 30. The designated area in the brain responsible for the movement disorder symptoms [globus pallidus (GPi)] must be identified and accessible for targeted thermal ablation by the Exablate device.
Device Story
Exablate Neuro is a transcranial MR-guided focused ultrasound system for thermal ablation of brain tissue. It uses a multi-channel phased-array transducer integrated with 1.5T or 3T MRI scanners. The system includes a treatment table with a transducer helmet, an operator console (PC), and an equipment cabinet with power amplifiers and a water cooling/degassing system. During the procedure, the clinician uses real-time MR imaging to guide ultrasound energy to the target (GPi). Closed-loop thermal feedback monitors the ablation process. The device provides non-invasive thermal lesioning, reducing the need for traditional surgical resection or radiofrequency ablation. It benefits patients by managing medication-refractory motor complications (dyskinesia/fluctuations) in Parkinson's disease. The healthcare provider uses post-treatment MRI to confirm the lesion and clinical assessments to evaluate motor improvement.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective, multi-center, randomized (3:1), sham-controlled, double-blinded pivotal study (PD006) of 94 patients. Primary endpoint: responder rate at 3 months (improvement in MDS-UPDRS Part III or UDysRS without worsening on the other). Exablate Neuro group (n=67) achieved 68.6% responder rate vs. 33.3% in sham (n=24) (p=0.005). Confirmatory secondary endpoints (MDS-UPDRS Parts II, III, IV) showed statistically significant improvements (p<0.05). Safety data included 149 AEs; 91% mild/moderate. One related SAE (pulmonary embolism). Improvements maintained through 12 months.
Technological Characteristics
Transcranial MR-guided focused ultrasound system. Components: multi-channel phased-array transducer, treatment table, operator console (PC), equipment cabinet (power amplifiers, control electronics), and water cooling/degassing system. Operates with 1.5T or 3T MRI scanners. Software version 7.33. Closed-loop thermal feedback mechanism. Non-invasive thermal ablation.
Indications for Use

#### IV. **WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS**
The warnings and precautions can be found in the Exablate Neuro labeling.
#### V. **DEVICE DESCRIPTION**
The Exablate Model 4000 Type 1.0 & 1.1 System (“Exablate Neuro”) is a transcranial MR image-guided focused ultrasound system that combines a multi-channel phased-array focused ultrasound transducer and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a closed-loop procedure for the thermal treatment of brain tissue. The Exablate Model 4000 Type 1.0 & 1.1 System uses software version 7.33 in conjunction with GE Medical Systems (“GE”) and Siemens 3 Tesla (T) MRI scanners or GE 1.5 T MRI scanners with a dedicated Exablate Neuro 1.5 T MR Head Coil. The device operates by guiding the focus of the ultrasound energy to the target region in the brain. The energy is then repeatedly transmitted to the target until the desired outcome is achieved. The targeted area is defined based on MR images taken during the procedure. The treatment procedure is constantly monitored by real-time closed-loop thermal feedback. Once targeting is complete, the treatment outcome is confirmed with adequate post-treatment MRI sequences.
The Exablate Model 4000 Type 1.0 & 1.1 System is comprised of three main components:

#### X. **SUMMARY OF PRIMARY CLINICAL STUDY**
The applicant performed a clinical study to establish a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of unilateral pallidotomy with the Exablate Neuro in patients with advanced, idiopathic Parkinson’s disease with medication-refractory moderate to severe motor complications as an adjunct to Parkinson’s disease medication treatment in the US, Canada, Israel, Italy, Korea, Spain, Taiwan, and United Kingdom under IDE # G170237. Data from this clinical study were the basis for the PMA approval decision. A summary of the clinical study is presented below.
##### A. **Study Design**
Patients were treated between March 26, 2018, and January 31, 2020. The database for this Panel Track Supplement reflected data collected through January 13, 2021, and included 94 randomized patients. There were 19 investigational sites with 11 sites in the US and 8 sites outside the US.
The study was a prospective, multi-center, two-arm, randomized (3:1), sham-controlled, double-blinded clinical study titled “A Pivotal Clinical Trial of the Management of the Medically-Refractory Dyskinesia Symptoms or Motor Fluctuations of Advanced Idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease with Unilateral Lesioning of the Globus Pallidum using the Exablate Neuro System (PD006).” Both patients and neurologists conducting the 3-month effectiveness outcome assessments were blinded to the treatment assignment. Treating physicians were not blind to the treatment assignment. The primary outcome was evaluated at 3-months post-procedure with follow-up visits scheduled at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the Exablate Neuro procedure.
The control group treatment was an active sham where all patients received the same pre-treatment testing, post-treatment MRI scans, and went through the same set-up procedures as the patients randomized to the investigational Exablate Neuro arm. Patients in both study groups underwent unilateral pallidotomy to the symptom-dominant side of the GPi. For patients who had bilateral PD where both sides met study selection criteria, usually the dominant side was treated. Patients in the sham

{5}
control arm received pantomimed sonications for the same duration as the Exablate Neuro treatment protocol. The sham control patients were followed through the 3-month follow-up visit to evaluate the effectiveness outcomes and received the same assessments as the patients in the investigational Exablate Neuro arm of the study. At the conclusion of the 3-month follow-up visit, the patients and neurologists were unblinded and the patients that received the investigational Exablate Neuro treatment continued follow-up at 6 months and 12 months post-procedure. After the unblinding occurred after the 3-month follow-up visit, the sham control patients were permitted to crossover to receive the Exablate Neuro treatment as long as they met the study selection criteria and these patients followed the same follow-up schedule as the patients in the investigational arm.
The statistical analysis was based on a responder analysis for the primary effectiveness outcome tested using the following hypothesis and analyzed using logistic regression on each imputed data set:
H₀: Response Rate Exablate ≤ Response Rate Sham
H₁: Response Rate Exablate > Response Rate Sham
The sample size calculation was based on a minimum of 92 and maximum of 107 randomized patients in a 3:1 (Exablate Neuro: Sham) ratio. The minimum sample size of 92 patients accounted for a 15% increase due to the potential for patient drop-out. A response rate of 70% in the Exablate Neuro arm and 20% in the sham control arm was expected.
The analysis populations for the pivotal study were defined as follows with the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population used to analyze the primary and secondary confirmatory effectiveness outcomes:
- The intent-to-treat (ITT) population includes all patients who signed the informed consent document and were randomized.
- The safety analysis population includes all randomized patients with at least one sonication (Exablate Neuro or Sham) in the main stage of the study.
- The mITT population includes all safety patients receiving at least one sonication for whom there exists primary effectiveness data at baseline and at least one post-baseline assessment sufficiently to determine the primary effectiveness outcome (i.e., data for both Movement Disorder Society – Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) and Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS)).
- The per protocol (PP) population includes all mITT patients who have observed primary effectiveness data at baseline and the 3-month follow-up visit, observed lesion on post-operative imaging, and have no major protocol violations likely to affect the outcome.
The clinical study included a Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) that reviewed all adverse events and adjudicated the serious adverse events (SAEs) for their relationship to the investigational device or procedure. The role of the DSMB was to
PMA P150038/S014: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data

{6}
monitor the safety of the clinical study and make recommendations for study continuation or stoppage. The study also included blinded neurologists who conducted all of the primary and secondary confirmatory effectiveness outcome assessments.

{11}
With regards to effectiveness, the response to treatment is evaluated by whether a patient improved on either MDS-UPDRS Part III (OFF medication motor exam on the treated side) or UDysRS Objective Impairment (ON medication) without worsening on the other assessment. Clinical outcome in the PD006 clinical study is defined as follows:
- MDS-UPDRS Part III (OFF medication motor exam) on the treated side:
- Improvement is defined as a reduction of more than 3 points at the 3-month follow-up visit compared to baseline.
- Worsening is defined as an increase of 4 points or more at the 3-months follow-up visit compared to baseline.
- UDysRS (ON medication):
- Improvement is defined as a reduction of more than 3 points at the 3-months follow-up visit compared to baseline.
- Worsening is defined as an increase of more than 3 points at the 3-month follow-up visit compared to baseline.
The PD006 clinical study was also designed with confirmatory secondary outcomes to assess the percent change improvement from baseline to the 3-month follow-up visit on the following assessments:
- MDS-UPDRS Part IV
- MDS-UPDRS Part III OFF Medication, Treated Side Extremities
- MDS-UPDRS Part II
The PD006 clinical study also evaluated the following assessments through the 12-month follow-up visit as secondary and additional effectiveness outcomes:
- MDS-UPDRS Part III OFF Medication, Treated Side Extremities
- MDS-UPDRS Part II
- MDS-UPDRS Part IV
- UDysRS Part III Objective Impairment
- Historical and Objective UDysRS sub-scores at all visits as well at the Total UDysRS score
- MDS-UPDRS: Total of Parts I, II, III OFF Medication (Treated Side), and IV ON Medication
- Clinician Global Impression of Change (CGIC): A 7-point scale requiring the physician to rate the severity of the patient's condition at the time of assessment, relative to before Exablate Neuro treatment.
- Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC): A 7-point scale requiring the patient to rate the severity of their condition at the time of assessment, relative to before Exablate Neuro treatment.
- Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire that comprises of 5 questions assessing patient treatment satisfaction.
With regard to success criteria, the responder rate in both the Exablate Neuro treatment arm and the sham control arm were compared and tested for the following hypothesis:

12 of 42
{12}
H₀: Response Rate Exablate Neuro ≤ Response Rate Sham
H₁: Response Rate Exablate Neuro > Response Rate Sham
A responder was defined as a patient that improved on the MDS-UPDRS Part III (OFF medication motor exam on the treated side) and no worsening on the UDysRS Impairment (ON medication) OR a patient that improved on the UDysRS Impairment (ON medication) and no worsening on the MDS-UPDRS Part III (OFF medication motor exam on the treated side). A non-responder was a patient that did not meet the definition for a responder. The responder and non-responder definitions for improvement or worsening of the clinical outcome in the PD006 clinical study is defined as follows:
- MDS-UPDRS Part III (OFF medication motor exam) on the treated side:
○ Improvement is defined as a reduction of more than 3 points at the 3-month follow-up visit compared to baseline.
○ Worsening is defined as an increase of 4 points or more at the 3-months follow-up visit compared to baseline.
- UDysRS (ON medication):
○ Improvement is defined as a reduction of more than 3 points at the 3-months follow-up visit compared to baseline.
○ Worsening is defined as an increase of more than 3 points at the 3-month follow-up visit compared to baseline.

At the time of database lock, of 166 patients enrolled in the PMA study, 54.8% (91) patients (67 patients in the Exablate Neuro group and 24 patients in the sham control group) are available for analysis at the completion of the study, the 3 month post-operative visit. This also comprises the mITT population used to analyze the primary effectiveness endpoint. The disposition of the patients in the PD006 clinical study is described in Figure 2 and Table 2 shows the number of patients in the analysis populations.

## **D. Safety and Effectiveness Results**
### **1. Safety Results**
The analysis of safety was based on the safety cohort of 68 patients in the Exablate Neuro group and 24 patients in the sham control group. The safety data for the 68 patients in the Exablate Neuro group available for the 12 month evaluation were analyzed. The safety data for the sham control group was only collected through the 3-month follow-up visit at which time all sham control patients could cross over to the Exablate Neuro treatment or exist the study. Serious adverse effects and all adverse effects are reported in Tables 4 and 5. The key safety outcomes for this study are presented below in Tables 6 to 8. All of the adjudication of the relatedness and severity of the adverse events were made by the DSMB.
#### **Adverse effects that occurred in the PMA clinical study:**
Table 4 presents all of the serious adverse events (SAEs) reported in the PD006 clinical study. There were 10 patients (14.7%) in the Exablate Neuro group with 15 SAEs and 1 (5.6%) patient in the sham group with 1 SAE. Pulmonary embolism was the only SAE categorized by the DSMB as related to the Exablate Neuro treatment. The patient developed a pulmonary embolism that was observed during the 1-week follow-up visit. The majority of the patients who experienced neurological SAEs appear to have been responders to the Exablate Neuro treatment and the SAEs were ultimately resolved.

## 2. Effectiveness Results
The analysis of effectiveness was based on the 67 and 24 evaluable patients in the Exablate Neuro and sham control groups, respectively, at the 3-month time point (mITT population). Key effectiveness outcomes are presented in Tables 9 to 13.
As stated above, each patient was defined as a “Responder” or “Non-Responder” based on whether the patient improved on the MDS-UPDRS Part III (OFF medication motor exam on the treated side) and had no worsening on the UDysRS Impairment (ON medication) OR the patient improved on the UDysRS Impairment (ON medication) and had no worsening on the MDS-UPDRS Part III (OFF medication motor exam on the treated side). The “Responder” and “Non-Responder” definitions for improvement or worsening of the clinical outcome in the PD006 clinical study is defined as follows:
- MDS-UPDRS Part III (OFF medication motor exam) on the treated side:
- Improvement is defined as a reduction of more than 3 points at the 3-month follow-up visit compared to baseline.
- Worsening is defined as an increase of 4 points or more at the 3-months follow-up visit compared to baseline.
- UDysRS (ON medication):
- Improvement is defined as a reduction of more than 3 points at the 3-months follow-up visit compared to baseline.
- Worsening is defined as an increase of more than 3 points at the 3-month follow-up visit compared to baseline.
Out of 67 mITT patients randomized to the Exablate Neuro group, 65 completed the 3-month follow-up visit and had an observed primary outcome. Out of 24 mITT patients randomized to the Sham group, 23 completed the 3-month follow-up visit and had an observed primary outcome. The primary outcome shown in Table 9 was imputed using multiple imputation (as defined in the statistical analysis plan (SAP)) for the 3 missing patients: 2 Exablate Neuro patients and one sham patient.
The mean number of responders was 68.6% (46/67) of patients in the Exablate Neuro study arm compared to 33.3% (8/24) of patients in the sham study arm. Using the imputation analyses, the results yielded the odds ratio between groups of 4.4. The p-value is 0.005. The null hypothesis was rejected.

Tables 10-12 shows the results of the confirmatory secondary effectiveness outcomes to assess the percent change improvement from baseline to the 3-month follow-up visit on the following assessments for both the Exablate Neuro and sham control groups:
- MDS-UPDRS Part IV;
- MDS-UPDRS Part III OFF Medication, Treated Side Extremities;
- MDS-UPDRS Part II.
The MDS-UPDRS Part IV ON Medication assesses time spent with dyskinesia, functional impact of dyskinesia, time spent in the OFF state, functional impact of fluctuations, complexity of motor fluctuations and painful OFF state dystonia. An individual's score is the sum of the items in the MDS-UPDRS Part IV ON Medication. As shown in Table 10, the results demonstrate a 46% improvement compared to baseline in the Exablate Neuro study arm while there was no improvement in the sham control group. The difference between treatment groups was significant with a p-value of < 0.001.

A sensitivity analysis evaluated the robustness of the primary study outcome following data imputation that was performed on the mITT population in worst-case and best-case imputations. Under the best-case scenario, all patients that had missing data for the primary outcome analysis were imputed as “Responders”. Under the worst-case scenario, all patients that had missing data for the primary outcome analysis were imputed as “Non-Responders”. Table 13 presents the results of the primary outcome analysis with worst-case and best-case imputation scenarios. Under the best-case imputation, 70.1% and 29.2% of the Exablate Neuro and sham patients were “Responders,” respectively. Under the worst-case imputation, the primary outcome remained statistically significant (p=0.013) with 67.2% and 37.5% of patients in the Exablate Neuro and sham arms, respectively, being “Responders.”
Additional analyses of the primary outcome were conducted using the PP and ITT populations. The results showed that the primary effectiveness and confirmatory secondary effectiveness outcomes were statistically significant (p-value < 0.05) between the number of responders in the Exablate Neuro and sham study arms.

Table 15 shows the MDS-UPDRS Part II score for the Exablate Neuro study arm through 12-months post-procedure and through 3-months for the sham control study arm. The MDS-UPDRS Part II score provides an overall measure of the impact of PD on motor aspects of the patient's routine daily activities. This questionnaire is completed by the patient or the caregiver regarding the amount of care or support needed to do activities of daily living. In the Exablate Neuro group, the mean slightly improved from 15.1 at baseline to 12.3 at 3-months post-procedure, and 13.6 at 12-months post-procedure. At 6-months and 12-months post-procedure, there was an improvement in the mean score compared to baseline of 1.8 and 1.5 points, respectively.

- Historical and Objective UDysRS sub-scores at all visits as well at the Total UDysRS score;
- MDS-UPDRS: Total of Parts I, II, III OFF Medication (Treated Side), and IV ON Medication.
The UDysRS evaluates dyskinesias (involuntary movements) associated with PD patients on medication. The UDysRS has two primary sections of Historical (Part 1: On-Dyskinesia, Part 2: Off-Dystonia) and Objective (Part 3: Impairment, Part 4: Disability). Table 18 presents descriptive statistics of the total UDysRS (Historical + Objective) score for Exablate Neuro patients through 12-months post-procedure and sham patients through 3-months post-procedure. The Exablate Neuro treated patients showed a 48% improvement in the total UDysRS score from baseline compared to an improvement of 7% from baseline for the sham control patients at 3-months post-procedure. For the Exablate Neuro treated patients, the percent change from baseline showed improvement of 52% at 1 month, 48% at 3 months, 43% at 6 months, and 32% at 12 months after the procedure.
The overall MDS-UPDRS covers four sections of Part I: Non-Motor Aspects of Experiences of Daily Living, Part II: Motor Aspects of Experiences of Daily Living, Part III: OFF Medication Motor Examination, and Part IV: Motor Complications. Table 19 presents descriptive statistics of the total MDS-UPDRS (Part I + Part II + Part III OFF Medication (extremities treated side) + Part IV) score through 12-months post-procedure for the Exablate Neuro treated patients and through 3-months post-procedure for the sham control patients. The Exablate Neuro treated patients showed a 26% improvement of the total MDS-UPDRS score at 3-months post-procedure compared to baseline while the sham control patients showed a 3% improvement at 3-months post-procedure compared to baseline. The percent change from baseline of the total MDS-UPDRS score for the Exablate Neuro treated patients through 12-months post-procedure was 27% at 1 month, 26% at 3 months, 23% at 6 months, and 20% at 12 months.

Both Exablate Neuro and sham study patients in the PD006 pivotal trial received adjunctive medication therapy (i.e., levodopa) throughout all study visits. All patients in both study arms were counseled to keep their levodopa dosage unchanged at least during the first 3-months post-procedure. As shown in Table 20, the levodopa medication usage is fairly stable through 12-months post-procedure based on the available data in both study arms.

## **XII. PANEL MEETING RECOMMENDATION AND FDA'S POST-PANEL ACTION**
In accordance with the provisions of section 515(c)(3) of the act as amended by the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, this PMA was not referred to the Neurological Devices Panel, an FDA advisory committee, for review and recommendation because the information in the PMA substantially duplicates information previously reviewed by this panel.
## **XIII. CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM PRECLINICAL AND CLINICAL STUDIES**
### **A. Effectiveness Conclusions**
PMA P150038/S014: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
39 of 42
{39}
The Exablate Neuro group demonstrated a 68.6% responder improvement rate, while the sham group demonstrated 33.3% improvement by 3-months post-procedure. This difference in the responder rate between treatment groups was significant (p < 0.005).
### **B. Safety Conclusions**
The risks of the device are based on nonclinical laboratory, animal studies, as well as data collected in a clinical study conducted to support PMA approval as described above. A total of 149 adverse events were reported based on the safety population of 92 patients (68 patients in the Exablate Neuro group, 24 patients in the sham control group), with a total of 131 adverse events observed in 43 Exablate Neuro treated patients (63.2%) and 18 adverse events reported in 12 sham patients (50%).
Of the total adverse events observed in the PD006 pivotal trial, 91% of adverse events in the Exablate Neuro study group [119/131] and 94% (17/18) of adverse events in the sham group were categorized by the DSMB as mild or moderate. There were a total of 16 serious adverse events observed in the pivotal trial. The DSMB adjudicated 14 of the 15 serious adverse events observed in the Exablate Neuro group as unrelated to the Exablate Neuro device or…
