About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Non-Randomized Pilot Clinical Investigation of the A-MAV™ Anterior Motion Segment Replacement in Patients With Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease

The purpose of this clinical trial is to collect safety and effectiveness data concerning the A-MAV™ Anterior Motion Segment Replacement device as a method of treating patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease at one level from L4-S1. Overall success will be the primary clinical endpoint.

Read the detailed description

For this clinical trial, there is only one treatment group- patients receiving the A-MAV™ Anterior Motion Segment Replacement via an anterior surgical approach in the lumbar region of the spine from L4-S1.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • A-MAV™ discDevice

    Also called A-MAV™

    The A-MAV™ device is a spinal arthroplasy system intended to replace a damaged spinal disc. It is inserted using an anterior surgical approach and aims to reduce low back pain and maintain disc height at the affected level.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing A-MAV™ disc in people with Spinal Diseases, run by Medtronic Spinal and Biologics at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 32 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Success= Oswestry Disability Index success; Maintenance or improvement in neurological status; No serious AE classified as implant or implant/surgical procedure associated; No additional surgical procedure classified as a failure (time frame: 24 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Sep 2018.
