Efficacy of ActiveMatrix on Spinal SSI Rate

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This clinical trial seeks to provide high level of evidence on the efficacy of ActiveMatrix primarily on spinal surgical site infection rate.

Clinical Trial Description

Postoperative spinal surgical site infections (SSI) have a significant effect on patient morbidity and mortality.1 Spinal SSI as well as other complications including pseudoarthrosis occur at a higher rate in patients with comorbidities including obesity, smoking history, diabetes, steroid use, older age, and higher modified frailty index.2 Patients of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers have higher number of comorbidities than non-VA patients, and are therefore at higher risk for postoperative spinal SSI and complications.3,4 Spinal SSI has been reported to be anywhere from <1% in decompressions to >10% after instrumented fusion.5 Anecdotal evidence has suggested SSI to be as high as 20% among our population. As spine surgeons for the largest VA in the country, our team sought a product that could reduce the rate of spinal SSI, and ideally result in improved patient outcomes, in our at-risk patient population. Skye Biologics offers placental tissue-based matrices in the form of both flowable and solid mediums. The flowable matrix has been shown in-vitro to contain significant amounts of collagen and growth factors, as well as molecules known to modulate immune response. The results of this have been in-vitro inhibition of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Staphylococcus saprophyticus proliferation, increase in migration of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), adherence to the ASCs in cultures.6 In translation of these results clinical application has been well received, with various subspecialties including ENT and orthopedics using the products. Based on both the positive in vitro and in vivo results, out team began using the flowable product with good initial subjective results, including improved wound healing and excellent patient satisfaction. The true clinical efficacy remains to be assessed, however. Our team sought to provide level 1 evidence on this product in thoracolumbosacaral posterior spinal decompression and/or fusion in our at-risk population via a single-blinded randomized control trial at high-volume institution (s). ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
