About this study

Official title: Italian Title:STUDIO CLINICO LONGITUDINALE, PROSPETTICO, PRE-CE PER LA VALUTAZIONE DELLA EFFICACIA E DELLA SICUREZZA DI UN CAGE INTERVERTEBRALE IN TITANIO ASSOCIATO AD UN SOSTITUTO OSSEO SINTETICO DI NATURA BIOCERAMICA NELLA NORMALE PRASSI CLINICA IN PROCEDURE DI FUSIONE INTERVERTEBRALE English Title: LONGITUDINAL, PROSPECTIVE, PRE-CE CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF A TITANIUM INTERVERTEBRAL CAGE ASSOCIATED WITH A BIOCERAMIC SYNTHETIC BONE SUBSTITUTE IN NORMAL CLINICAL PRACTICE IN INTERVERTEBRAL FUSION PROCEDURES

Space clinical study aims to evaluate the performance, in terms of efficacy and safety of an intervertebral spacer associated with a bioceramic bone substitute in the context of intervertebral surgery for degenerative diseases.

Specifically, it is intended to evaluate:

  • the capacity for bone regeneration/fusion, defined as absence of loosening and presence of continuous trabecular bone bridge in the absence of radiolucency lines, verified by imaging (CT) and evaluated according to the Brantingan scale;
  • the safety of the medical device, through the incidence of any adverse events, complications, unexpected reactions, accidents;
  • the improvement of clinical outcome in terms of pain and disability, at 9/14 months follow-up compared with preoperative scores, by clinical indices such as ODI and VAS.
Being tested
Intersomatic arthrodesis

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intersomatic arthrodesisDevice

    Arthrodesis is an operative modality also used in the treatment of multiple recurrences of herniated discs, stenosis (narrowing) of the spinal anal, degenerative and malformative spondylolisthesis.

    The procedure can be performed with different surgical techniques, but in all cases it aims to achieve the same goal: to re-establish, through the use of spacers, the correct distance between two vertebral somes, in cases of disc degeneration, that are no longer able to fulfill their function; that is, they no longer absorb mechanical stresses and/or compress the nerve structures of the spine causing almost always unbearable (disabling) pain.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bone fusion rate

    the evaluation of the success rate in achieving bone fusion defined as bone regeneration/fusion capacity, understood as lack of loosening and presence of continuous trabecular bone bridge in the absence of radiolucency lines, verified by diagnostic imaging (CT) and evaluated according to the Brantingan scale;

    Measured: 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intersomatic arthrodesis in people with Treatment of Degenerative Diseases of the Spine, run by SPS srl at 1 site in Italy.

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 10 inclusion and 17 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bone fusion rate (time frame: 9 months). 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 25 Apr 2023.
