About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term safety and effectiveness of SI joint fusion using the iFuse Implant System in patients with degenerative sacroiliitis (DS) and/or sacroiliac joint disruptions (SD).

Study Design: This study is extended follow-up from two ongoing multicenter prospective US clinical trials. All participants have already undergone the surgical procedure of interest (SI joint fusion with iFuse Implant System). The two ongoing trials are:

  • SIFI:( Sacroiliac Joint Fusion with iFuse Implant System) a single-arm trial of patients with degenerative sacroiliitis or sacroiliac joint disruption who underwent iFuse placement, and
  • INSITE(Investigation of Sacroiliac Fusion Treatment): a randomized clinical trial of the same patient population who underwent either non-surgical treatment or iFuse placement

What is being measured

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

  1. Subject Success

    Composite endpoint of success defined as improvement in VAS (Visual Analog Scale) recorded at SIFI or INSITE Baseline VAS back pain score by ≥20 mm; Absence of device-related SAE (Serious Adverse Events) ; Absence of neurological worsening related to the sacral spine,\& Absence of surgical re-intervention on the target SI joint(s).

    Measured: 3 years on LOIS (5 years post-op)

  2. Radiographic (CT) apposition of bone to sacral and iliac sides of implant

    Proportion of subjects (with CT) who had at least 30% apposition of bone to sacral and iliac sides in at least 2 of 3 iFuse implants.

    Measured: 3 years on LOIS (5 years post-op)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. VAS (Visual Analog Scale)

    Improvement in VAS (Visual Analog Scale), SI joint pain at follow-up visits.

    Measured: 3 years on LOIS (5 years post-op)

  2. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) Questionnaire

    Improvement in Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) at follow-up visits.

    Measured: 3 years on LOIS (5 years post-op)

  3. Improvement in quality of life (QOL)

    Improvement in quality of life as measure by EQ-5D Questionnaire at follow-up visits.

    Measured: 3 years on LOIS (5 years post-op)

  4. non-working subjects returning to work

    Proportion of non-working subjects who return to work

    Measured: 3 years on LOIS (5 years post-op)

  5. CT scans showing bridging bone

    Proportion of CT scans that show bridging bone across the SI joint at 5 years post-operatively

    Measured: 3 years on LOIS (5 years post-op)

  6. SAE (Serious Adverse Events) occurrence rate

    Occurrence rate of serious adverse events.

    Measured: 3 years on LOIS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Degenerative Sacroilitis and Sacroiliac Joint Disruption, run by SI-BONE, Inc. at 12 sites 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 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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?

Subject Success (time frame: 3 years on LOIS (5 years post-op)). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02270203, 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 6 Aug 2019.
