About this study

Official title: Medico-economic Evaluation of the Prosthetic Replacement of the Lumbar and Cervical Intervertebral Disc

Until now, arthrodesis (intervertebral fusion) is the formal treatment for the lumbar and cervical degenerative disc disease : arthrodesis has been the standard surgical treatment for the patients when nonsurgical management has failed. However , it has shown out some drawbacks : pseudoarthrosis may appear in the short term, and junctional degeneration in the long term.

The replacement of the intervertebral disc by a prosthesis (arthroplasty) has been since a few years a major alternative therapeutic to the arthrodesis.: it demonstrates great functional results and less post-interventional complications. It is indicated to restore a normal function of the spine (motion is kept)and to avoid deterioration of the adjacent spinal segments over the long time.

In this clinical study, we will distinguish the cervical discal pathology and the lumbar discal pathology.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the results of the arthroplasty in terms of functional effects, quality of life, anatomical results and economical results.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cervical and lumbar intervertebral disc replacement by a prosthesis ( arthroplasty ) in adults suffering from degenerative disc disease.

For the cervical pathology, a comparative randomized multi-site study of the medico-economic evaluation of the prosthesis implementation versus arthrodesis, the standard treatment, will be realised , for patients from 20 to 55 years old, within very rigorous exclusion and inclusion criteria.

For the lumbar pathology, a comparative randomized multi-site study of the medico-economic evaluation of the prosthesis implementation versus arthrodesis, the standard treatment, will be realized , for patients from 50 to 65 years old, within acute exclusion and inclusion criteria.

For patients under 50 years old, randomization is not used as arthroplasty offers very good results. By these young patients, a cohort study will thus be realized.

Patients with degenerative discal disease at one or more levels will be recruited in 17 sites in France :

  • 3 sites in ASSITANCE PUBLIQUE - HOPITAUX DE PARIS (AP-HP)
  • 14 sites in France outside AP-HP.

The study will have 3 parts :

  • Cervical pathology : 500 patients divided on 250 arthroplasties and 250 arthrodeses.
  • Lumbar pathology : 525 patients divided according to their age:
  • over 50 years old : randomization in 175 lumbar arthroplasties and 175 lumbar arthrodeses.
  • until 50 years old : cohort study : 175 lumbar arthroplasties.

This study will last 3 years : a 2 year-period of inclusion , and a post interventional one year-follow-up period for each included patient.

The duration of the participation in the study for each patient is one year.

7 evaluations will be realized for each patient : pre-interventional visit, intervention, post-interventional visit, visit at 45 days, visit at 3 months, visit at 6 months and visit at one year.

Each visit will comprise different exams and observations.

The criterion of principle judgement will be the quality of life measured as follows :

  • For the lumbar pathology, the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire, the SF36 Questionnaire, the Visual Analog Scale (Pain), at each visit.
  • For the cervical pathology : the NDI score, the SF36 Questionnaire, the Visual Analog Scale (Pain), at each visit.

The secondary criteria will be medico-economical and clinical too. Arthrodesis and Arthroplasty will be compared in terms of:

  • anatomical results of the intervention
  • intervention tolerance
  • wear (estimated by the discal height)
  • costs of the intervention.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Patient satisfaction at one year. Oswestry questionnaire (lumbar pathology) or NDI questionnaire (cervical pathology), SF36 score and Visual Analog Scale (Pain

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Patient satisfaction at post-interventional visit, after 45 days, at 3 months, and at 6 months

    Measured: post-interventional visit, after 45 days, at 3 months, at 6 months and 1 year

  2. Cost of the treatments

    Measured: post-interventional visit, after 45 days, at 3 months, at 6 months and 1 year

  3. Tolerance of the intervention, stability of the prosthesis

    Measured: post-interventional visit, after 45 days, at 3 months, at 6 months and 1 year

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 23 inclusion and 42 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Insuffisent recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Patient satisfaction at one year. Oswestry questionnaire (lumbar pathology) or NDI questionnaire (cervical pathology), SF36 score and Visual Analog Scale (Pain (time frame: 1 year). 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 10 Mar 2015.
