Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • coflex performance compared to IDE

    Evaluation of coflex device performance in conjunction with surgical decompression in an actual conditions of use study.

    24and 60 Months

  • coflex performance compared to decompression alone from ESCADA study.

    To compare clinical status of patients implanted with the coflex device in conjunction with surgical decompression relative to surgical decompression alone from ESCADA study.

    24 Months

  • Composite Clinical Success (CCS)

    * No secondary surgical interventions * No lumbar epidural injection, nerve block procedures at index level to treat spinal stenosis at any lumbar level * 15 point improvement in ODI in subjects with no interventions or injections * No new or increasing sensor or motor deficit * No major device related adverse events

    24 Month

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Change in Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

    Baseline, 24 and 60 months

  • Change in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for low back pain

    Baseline, 24 and 60 Months

  • Change in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for leg pain

    Baseline, 24 and 60 Months

  • Neurological Status

    Baseline, 6 weeks, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 Months

  • Radiographic Assessments

    6 weeks, 12, 24, 60 Months

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

  • Safety Evaluation

Study Arms (2)

The coflex® Interlaminar Technology

OTHER

The coflex device was designed to address the clinical needs of spinal stenosis patients by providing stabilization of the affected level without fusion. The coflex is an interspinous process functional dynamic implant designed to impart a stabilizing effect at the treated level(s). The coflex device was approved by FDA in 2012.

Device: coflex® Interlaminar Technology

Decompression

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Lumbar decompression back surgery is when a small portion of the bone over the nerve root and/or disc material from under the nerve root is removed to give the nerve root more space and provide a better healing environment.

Procedure: Decompression

Interventions

Decompression plus coflex® Interlaminar Technology

Also known as: coflex
The coflex® Interlaminar Technology
DecompressionPROCEDURE

Decompression alone

Decompression

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • Radiographic confirmation of at least moderate lumbar stenosis at one or two contiguous levels from L1-L5 that require surgical decompression.
  • Visual Analog Scale back pain score of at least 50 mm on a 100 mm scale.
  • Neurogenic claudication as defined by leg/buttocks or groin pain that can be relieved by flexion such as sitting in a chair.
  • Subject has undergone at least one lumbar injection at any prior time point, AND/OR at least 6 months of prior conservative care without adequate and sustained symptom relief.
  • Skeletally mature
  • Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire score of at least 20/50 (40%).
  • Psychosocially, mentally, and physically able to fully comply with this protocol, including adhering to scheduled visits, treatment plan, completing forms, and other study procedures.
  • Personally signed and dated informed consent document prior to any study-related procedures indicating that the patient has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the trial.

You may not qualify if:

  • Prior fusion or decompressive laminectomy at index lumbar level.
  • Radiographically compromised vertebral bodies at any lumbar level(s) caused by current or past trauma or tumor (e.g., compression fracture).
  • Severe facet hypertrophy that requires extensive bone removal which would cause instability.
  • Isthmic spondylolisthesis or spondylolysis (pars fracture).
  • Degenerative lumbar scoliosis (Cobb angle of greater than 25°).
  • Osteoporsis or is at increased risk of osteoporosis.
  • Back or leg pain of unknown etiology.
  • Axial back pain only, with no leg, buttock, or groin pain.
  • Morbid obesity defined as a body mass index \> 40.
  • Known allergy to titanium, titanium alloys, or MR contrast agents.
  • Active or chronic infection - systemic or local.
  • Cauda equina syndrome, defined as neural compression causing neurogenic bowel (rectal incontinence) or bladder (bladder retention or incontinence) dysfunction.
