Trial summary

Pseudarthrosis, a failure of bony fusion, is one of the most common causes of revision surgery following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The interbody spacer is an important component of bony fusion in ACDF, and we aim to compare machined allograft spacers versus iliac crest allograft in a randomized… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Fusion Status of Machined Allograft Versus Iliac Crest Allograft in Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Pseudarthrosis, a failure of bony fusion, is one of the most common causes of revision surgery following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The interbody spacer is an important component of bony fusion in ACDF, and we aim to compare machined allograft spacers versus iliac crest allograft in a randomized controlled trial.

Read the detailed description

Pseudarthrosis, a failure of bony fusion, is one of the most common causes of revision surgery following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The interbody spacer is an important component of bony fusion in ACDF, and we aim to compare machined allograft spacers versus iliac crest allograft in a randomized controlled trial. We hypothesize that iliac crest allograft will improve anterior cervical discectomy and fusion arthrodesis rates and diminish the amount of intervertebral graft resorption when compared to off-the-shelf machined allografts

Being tested
Anterior Cervical Disc Fusion (ACDF) Surgery w/ machined bone allograft, Anterior Cervical Disc Fusion (ACDF) Surgery w/ Iliac Crest Bone Graft

What participants receive

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

  • Anterior Cervical Disc Fusion (ACDF) Surgery w/ machined bone allograftProcedure or surgery

    Participant will undergo primary, elective one-level to four-level ACDF using machined bone allograft

  • Anterior Cervical Disc Fusion (ACDF) Surgery w/ Iliac Crest Bone GraftProcedure or surgery

    Participant will undergo primary, elective one-level to four-level ACDF using iliac crest bone allograft

What is being measured

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

  1. Improved participant reported outcome measures (PROMs)-1

    Investigators will ask participants to complete the Short Form-12 survey (SF-12) at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months following surgery

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Improved participant reported outcome measures (PROMs)-2

    Investigators will ask participants to complete the Visual Analog Score (VAS) for Neck and Arm, Neck Disability Index (NDI), at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months following surgery

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Improved participant reported outcome measures (PROMs)-3

    Investigators will ask participants to complete the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) score) at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months following surgery

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Fusion status after surgery

    Fusion status will be assessed using Postoperative x-rays (AP, lateral, flexion, extension) which will be taken at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months following surgery

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Anterior Cervical Disc Fusion (ACDF) Surgery w/ machined bone allograft and Anterior Cervical Disc Fusion (ACDF) Surgery w/ Iliac Crest Bone Graft in people with Spine Fusion and Spine Surgery, run by Rothman Institute Orthopaedics 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 3 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 14 Aug 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 United States. 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?

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?

Improved participant reported outcome measures (PROMs)-1 (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 4 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?

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 14 Aug 2023.
