Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this post-market clinical study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the MEDICREA's systems PASS LP, PASS DEGEN, and PASS Tulip PRIME to treat degenerative diseases. This study is supporting the clinical evaluation report. From the standard-of-care perspective, the results of The Degen study are expected to contribute to a better understanding of expected safety and clinical outcomes from a short (intra- and peri-operative) to a medium-term follow-up (post-operatively).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Fusion	The primary endpoint is the fusion status of each patient at the 24-month visit postoperative. This fusion assessment will be done through the analysis of the standard of care imaging (CT-scan, X-rays, and/or MRI) by the investigator and through the clinical examination of the patient by the investigator.	At 24months
Secondary	Evolution of the pain (VAS)	Change of leg and back pain score from the preoperative visit to all available postoperative timepoints: from 0 (better) to 10 (worst)	Preoperative, and 1-6, 12 and 24 months postoperative
Secondary	Quality of life with ODI	Change of non-validated ODI score from the preoperative visit to all available postoperative timepoints: from 0 (better) to 5 (worst)	Preoperative, and 1-6, 12 and 24 months postoperative
Secondary	Quality of life with SF-12	Change of non-validated SF-12 score from the preoperative visit to all available postoperative timepoints: from to 0 (better) to 3 or 5 depending the question (worst)	Preoperative, and 1-6, 12 and 24 months postoperative
Secondary	Device or procedure-related adverse events and all SAEs up to 24 months	During the follow-up period, the occurrence of device and procedure related AEs and all serious adverse events will be monitored, registered, and analyzed. To safeguard the safety of the clinical study subjects, all SAEs will be collected even those that may not be directly related to the surgery.	Preoperative, and 1-6, 12 and 24 months postoperative
Secondary	Surgeons'satisfaction with these implants and instruments	Surgeons will be requested to complete questions about device/surgery satisfaction.	During the surgery and until the 24months postoperative visit
Secondary	Fusion status at the 1/6 month and 12-month visit	The primary objective is defined as the ability of the implant to promote the stabilization	At the 1-6, and 12 months postoperative
Secondary	Patient satisfaction at all available postoperative timepoints	Patient satisfaction is used to evaluate patient satisfaction after surgery and during the follow-up period.; Satisfaction is measured at four different levels: 1 (better) to 4 (worst)	At 1-6, 12 and 24 months postoperative
