About this study

The purpose of the study is to gather clinical and radiographic outcome data from patients who have undergone treatment with an expandable interbody spacer.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi center retrospective study with 200 patients. Sites will screen their patient records for patients who have had a TLIF utilizing the CALIBER® expandable interbody spacer in conjunction with the REVOLVE® or REVERE® posterior stabilization systems and subsequent follow-up visits.

The study aims to collect both pre-operative and post-operative data at the 6, 12 and 24 month time points according to existing standard of care and the surgeon's custom and practice.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Degenerative Disc Disease, run by Globus Medical Inc.

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 9 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 10 Aug 2016. 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?

radiographic evaluation (time frame: Pre-Op to 2 years post-operative). 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 10 Aug 2016.
