What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Success

    A patient will be considered an overall success if all of the following conditions are met:

    2. pain/disability (Neck Disability Index) Improvement;
    3. maintenance or improvement in neurological status;
    4. no serious adverse event classified as "implant associated" or "implant/surgical procedure associated";
    5. no additional surgical procedure classified as a "failure".

    Measured: 12 month

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Disc Height Measurement

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing INFUSE™ Bone Graft/CORNERSTONE-SR™ /ATLANTIS™ and Autogenous bone/CORNERSTONE-SR™ /ATLANTIS™ in people with Degenerative Cervical Disc Disease, run by Medtronic Spinal and Biologics.

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 14 inclusion and 21 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 2 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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. 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?

Overall Success (time frame: 12 month). 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 2 Aug 2013.
