  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosed with Degenerative Disk Disease (DDD) or lumbar spinal stenosis at one or two continuous spinal level(s), including subjects with spondylolisthesis (i.e. degenerative or isthmic)
  • Has failed at least six months of non-operative treatment prior to clinical trial enrolment and is a candidate for spinal fusion surgery over one or two vertebral levels between, and including, L2 to S1 (i.e. second lumbar to first sacral)
  • ≥ 18 years old and skeletally mature (epiphyses closed)
  • Is, in the Investigator's opinion, psychosocially, mentally, and physically able to fully comply with this protocol, including the post-operative regimen, required follow up visits, the filling out of required forms, and have the ability to understand and give written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Has diagnosis of symptomatic DDD, spondylolisthesis, or lumbar spinal stenosis at more than two levels
  • Has had prior fusion surgery at any lumbar level
  • Has systemic infection or infection at the surgical site
  • History of significant metabolic bone disease such as osteomalacia, autoimmune disease including rheumatoid arthritis, renal disease, hepatic disease, peripheral vascular disease, insulin dependent diabetes, Paget's disease at the involved spinal level(s) or upper motor neuron disease (positive Babinski sign)
  • Has a medical condition that would interfere with post-operative assessments and care (i.e. psychiatric disease, paraplegia, quadriplegia, etc.)
  • Is in poor general health or any concurrent disease process that would place the subject in excessive risk to surgery (e.g. significant circulatory, pulmonary problems, or cardiac disease)
Show all 17Show fewer
  • Has a history (present or past) of substance abuse (recreational drugs, prescription drugs or alcohol) that in the Investigator's opinion may interfere with protocol assessments and/or with the subject's ability to complete the protocol required follow up
  • Is known to be pregnant/breastfeeding at the time of enrollment, or plans to become pregnant during the course of the clinical trial
  • Is participating in, or has completed within the last 30 days, another investigational clinical trial, which could confound results
  • Has had three or more prior decompressive surgeries, or a prior posterior lumbar surgery resulting in significant muscle/ligament morbidity. This does NOT include facet saving techniques such as discectomy, laminotomy, and intradiscal procedures including nucleotomy, IDET procedures or annuloplasty procedures
  • Has back or leg pain of unknown cause
  • Morbid obesity defined as a Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 40
  • Non-discogenic or non-stenotic cause of symptoms (e.g. tumour or fracture at the involved level)
  • Has a condition or requires post-operative medications that may interfere with bone/soft tissue healing (i.e. oral or parenteral glucocorticoids, immunosuppressives, methotrexate, etc.), or that effect the rate of bone metabolism unless they have undergone a 14 day wash out period prior to surgery
  • Is undergoing treatment for osteoporosis (excluding osteopenia) such that in the Investigator's opinion, spinal instrumentation would be contraindicated
  • Is involved in on-going litigation, concerning their medical condition.
  • Has a known allergy to silicon.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Open-label Non-randomdised Multi-centre Clinical Study to Evaluate the Performance of Inductigraft in Posterolateral Fusion

This is an open-label non-randomised, prospective, post market study to evaluate the performance of Inductigraft (osteoinductive synthetic bone graft) in patients receiving posterolateral lumbar spine fusion through assessment of successful fusion at 12 months post operation using x-rays and CT scans. Quality of life questionnaires also used to assess clinical outcome measures such as pain and quality of life. Patients followed up for 24 months after surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inductigraft in people with Degenerative Disk Disease and Spinal Stenosis of Lumbar Region, run by Baxter Healthcare Corporation at 15 sites in 5 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 17 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 5 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Hungary, Ireland. 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?

Fusion rate (time frame: 12 months after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01452022, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Apr 2017.
