About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical, radiological, and surgical outcomes of the Annex™ Adjacent Level System for the treatment of adjacent level disease of the lumbar spine. The Annex™ Adjacent Level System is a spinal fixation system intended to be used with commercially available pedicle screw fixation systems in order to extend existing pedicle screw constructs. Subjects will be evaluated over a 2 year period and compared to historical control.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Degenerative Disc Disease and Adjacent Level Disease, run by Spine Wave at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

% Improvement in Operative/Discharge parameters including surgical time and hospital stay (time frame: within 30 days after treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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?
