About this study

Official title: A Pilot, Prospective, Non-Randomized Clinical Investigation of TELAMON P™ Implant With INFUSE® Bone Graft and the CD HORIZON® Spinal System for Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion in Patients With Symptomatic Degenerative Disc Disease

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of the implant ( TELAMON P™ Implant/INFUSE Bone Graft System used in conjunction with the CD HORIZON® Spinal System) as a method of facilitating lumbar spinal fusion utilizing a posterior surgical approach in patients with symptomatic degenerative disc disease. The safety and effectiveness of the implant will be evaluated.

    4. no serious adverse event classified as "implant associated" or "implant/surgical procedure associated";
    5. no additional surgical procedure classified as a "failure".

    Measured: 24 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TELAMON P™ /INFUSE® Bone Graft/CD HORIZON® Spinal System in people with Degenerative 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 15 inclusion and 25 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.

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 (time frame: 24 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 18 Sep 2018.
