Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this trial is to evaluate if P-15 bone putty (investigational device) is not inferior in effectiveness and safety to local autologous bone (control device) when applied in instrumented anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with use of a structural allograft ring in patients with degenerative cervical disc disease..


Description:

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is a common surgical treatment option for symptomatic degenerative cervical disk disease in patients who fail conservative treatment. i-FACTOR bone graft is a unique anorganic bone mineral (ABM) and small peptide, P-15™. P-15 is a synthetic fifteen amino acid polypeptide that mimics the cell-binding domain of Type I human collagen and is responsible for osteogenic cell attachment via alpha2-beta1 integrins.

This is randomized, controlled, multi-center, prospective FDA IDE study conducted to assess the safety and effectiveness of i-FACTOR bone graft (Cerapedics, Inc. Westminster, CO) in patients treated with single level ACDF. Patients received i-FACTOR bone graft or local autologous bone inside a structural allograft.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Radiologic Fusion Successful fusion was based on roentgenographic examination showing: evidence of bridging trabecular bone between the involved motion segments, translational motion <3mm, and angular motion <5 degrees. If there was a lack of evidence of fusion on 12 month plain x-ray examination, a CT-scan was performed and final determination of the fusion status was made using the CT reading. The criteria for fusion on CT scans were: trabecular bone formation patterns within the intervertebral disc space and bridging bone formation that crosses the interspace. 12 months
Primary Change in of the Overall Neck Disability Index (NDI) Score From Baseline. The NDI consists of ten items addressing functional activities (personal care, lifting, reading, work, driving, sleeping, recreational activities), pain intensity, concentration and headache. For each item, there are six potential responses, describing increasing degrees of disability (no disability = 0 to total disability = 5). An overall NDI score, out of 100, is calculated by adding up the scores for each item and multiplying by two. A higher NDI score indicates greater disability. 12 months
Primary Neurologic Success The neurological endpoint is a binary variable. Neurologic success was assessed in the motor, sensory and reflex domains specific for the cervical spine as follows: maintenance or improvement of motor function in the elbow flexors (i.e. biceps muscle), elbow extensors (i.e. triceps muscle) and wrist extensors of both arms; maintenance or improvement of sensory function of both arms; maintenance or improvement of reflexes of both arms as measured at biceps tendon, triceps tendon and brachioradialis (supinator) reflex AND absence of Babinski reflex (if not present prior to surgery). Worsening of neurological status (neurological failure) was defined as a permanent decline in the subject's neurological status based on adjudication of accumulated neurological data by an independent blinded evaluator. 12 months
Primary Complications Any AE within 12 months of surgery. 12 months
Secondary Mean Change in Pain at Neck Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The pain VAS is a continuous scale upon which the subject indicates their pain level ranging from "No pain at all" (0) to "Worst imaginable pain" (10). The change in pain is calculated by subtracting the 12 month score from the baseline score. Baseline and 12 months
Secondary Mean Change at Pain at Arm and Shoulder Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The pain VAS is a continuous scale upon which the subject indicates their pain level ranging from "No pain at all" (0) to "Worst imaginable pain" (10). The change in pain is calculated by subtracting the 12 month score from the baseline score. Baseline and 12 months
Secondary Success Rates Measured by Aggregated Modified Odom's Criteria Subjects selected one of four categories: Excellent (Improvement Greater than or Equal to 80%, Deterioration Less than 10%), Good (Improvement Greater than or Equal to 70%, Deterioration Less than 15%), Fair (Improvement Greater than or Equal to 50%, Deterioration Less than 20%) or Poor (Improvement Less than 50%, Deterioration Greater than 20%). 12 months
Secondary Mean Change in the Short Form 36 v2 (SF-36v2) Physical Composite Score (PCS). The SF-36 v2 (Medical Outcomes Trust, Boston, MA) is a multipurpose, patient-reported short-form health survey with 36 questions available in several languages. It yields two composite scores: one for physical health (Physical Composite Score - PCS) and one for mental health (Mental Composite Score - MCS) that are comprised of eight domains. The following domains make up the PCS: physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health. The PCS ranges from a score of 0 (lowest possible level of functioning) to a score of 100 (highest possible level of functioning). Baseline and 12 months
Secondary Mean Change in the Short Form 36 v2 (SF-36v2) Mental Health Composite Score (MCS). The SF-36 v2 (Medical Outcomes Trust, Boston, MA) is a multipurpose, patient-reported short-form health survey with 36 questions available in several languages. It yields two composite scores: one for physical health (Physical Composite Score - PCS) and one for mental health (Mental Composite Score - MCS) that are comprised of eight domains. The following domains make up the MCS: vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, mental health. The MCS ranges from a score of 0 (lowest possible level of functioning) to a score of 100 (highest possible level of functioning). Baseline and 12 months
Secondary Kyphosis Kyphosis is evaluated in degrees. 12 months
