About this study
Official title: Disease-oriented Russian Disc Degeneration Study (RuDDS) Biobank Facilitating Functional Omics Studies of Lumbar Disc Degeneration
The main aim of this study is to establish disease-oriented biobank to facilitate research in biology of the lumbar disc degeneration. Diverse biological samples (whole blood, plasma, disc tissue) along with MRI imaging, clinical, socio-demographic and various omics data (e.g. genomic and transcriptomic) will be available for researchers and clinicians for a variety of further multi-omics studies. It will lay the groundwork for the development of early diagnostics of DDD and its personalized treatment.
The study is planned to enroll up to 1,100 patients with different grades of lumbar disc degeneration. It is planned to recruit patients within 36 months.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Genotyping
DNA will be extracted from the whole blood samples according to the standard protocol
Measured: Through 3 years
Secondary outcomes (3)
Phenotype of patients with lumbar disc degeneration
General information about a patient, his medical history and MRI scans of lumbar spine
Measured: Through 3 years
Total plasma proteins N-glycosylation profiling
The plasma glycans profiling will be performed according to standard protocol
Measured: Through 3 years
Total RNA profiling
The intraoperative material will be homogenized and total RNA will be extracted and converted to cDNA using Kit for the isolation of total RNA and microRNA from cells and tissues and M-MuLV-RH First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit respectively. The amount of extracted RNA and its quality will be estimated using Bioanalyzer 2100.
Measured: Through 3 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration and Genetic Predisposition to Disease, run by Novosibirsk State University at 3 sites in Russia.
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 4 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 24 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites in Russia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every 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?
Genotyping (time frame: Through 3 years). 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 NCT04600544, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 24 Dec 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
