NCT00764491

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to collect data to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the OptiMesh 1500S to contain and reinforce bone graft materials in patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) whose condition requires an interbody spinal fusion procedure combined with posterior fixation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Mean Change in Low Back Pain Score at 24-months Compared to Pre-op

    A Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate a subject's level of pain. The VAS is a 10 cm pain scale where a score of "0" represents "No Pain" and a score of "10" represents the "Worst Possible" pain. The magnitude of change in the 24-month score compared to the baseline score is calculated. A clinically meaningful change is defined as a 2 unit (cm) reduction at 24-months when compared to pre-op.

    24 month

  • Mean Change in Back Function Score at 24-months Compared to Pre-op

    A subject's back function was assessed by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). The ODI is a 10 question survey that evaluates the degree of functional impairment. Completion of the survey yields a score from "0" to "100" points. A score of "0" represents "No disability" and "100" represents "Total disability". The magnitude of change between the two timepoints is reported. A clinically meaningful improvement is defined as a 15 point reduction at 24-months compared to the pre-op score.

    24 month

  • Number of Participants Determined to be a Fusion Success at 24 Months Post-operative

    Fusion Success is defined as \<5 degrees angulation, \<10% translation, and presence of bridging bone on CT.

    24 month

  • Number of Participants With a Serious Device and Procedure Related Adverse Event

    The rate of serious device and procedure related adverse events are compared between the control and treatment arm from intraoperative through 24 months of follow-up.

    From Intra-op through the 24-month visit

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Right Leg Pain Score--Change From Preop at the 24-month Timepoint

    24-month visit

  • Left Leg Pain--Change From Preop at the 24-month Timepoint

    24-month visit

  • Number of Participants Rating Their Procedure as Very Satisfied or Somewhat Satisfied at 24-months Postoperative

    24-month visit

Study Arms (2)

Optimesh 1500S

EXPERIMENTAL

OptiMesh 1500S, filled with a mixture of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and cortico-cancellous bone, placed into the interbody space from the posterior approach and supplemental pedicle screws.

Device: OptiMesh 1500S

Structural Allograft Spacer

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Structural Allograft Spacer with pedicle screws.

Device: Structural Allograft Spacer

Interventions

Following disc space preparation the spacer is placed in accordance with cleared labeling and supplemental instrumentation is provided as an adjunct to fixation.

Also known as: Allograft bone spacer
Structural Allograft Spacer

Following disc space preparation the OptiMesh is deployed and filled in accordance with study surgical technique and supplemental instrumentation is provided as an adjunct to fixation.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Skeletally mature and be at least 18 years of age
  • Have degenerative disc disease (DDD) requiring one level fusion between L2 and S1, with DDD confirmed by subject history, physical exam, and radiographic studies with one or more of the following factors:
  • instability as defined by \>3 mm translation or ≥5º rotation of flexion/ extension;
  • osteophyte formation of facet joints or vertebral endplates;
  • decreased disc height, on average 2 mm, but dependent on spinal level;
  • scarring/thickening of the ligamentum flavum, annulus fibrosis, or facet joint capsule;
  • herniated nucleus pulposus;
  • facet joint degeneration/changes; and/or
  • vacuum phenomenon;
  • Based on the VAS, subjects report pre-operative low back pain (\>4 of 10) with duration of pain six-months or longer despite non-surgical treatment;
  • Capable of understanding and signing the consent form; and
  • Willing and able to comply with follow-up requirements

You may not qualify if:

  • A previous interbody fusion at the involved level;
  • Greater than grade 2 spondylolisthesis;
  • Systemic infection or active infection at the surgical site;
  • Active malignancy;
  • Body Mass Index of 40 or higher;
  • Significant metabolic bone disease (e.g. osteoporosis or osteomalacia) to a degree that spinal instrumentation is contraindicated;
  • Taking medications that may interfere with bone or soft tissue healing (e.g. long-term steroid use);
  • Alcohol or drug abuse;
  • Waddell Signs of Inorganic Behavior \>3;
  • Currently in litigation regarding a spinal condition;
  • Known sensitivity to implant material;
  • A prisoner;
  • Pregnant or contemplating pregnancy during the 24-month follow-up period; and
  • Enrolled in another concurrent clinical trial.
