NCT04883411

Brief Summary

The study is a prospective, first-in-human, multi-center, non-randomized, single-arm study to assess the safety and efficacy of the CEM-Cage used with the CEM-Plate in patients who are appropriate candidates for a 2-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Fifty patients will be enrolled in the study and, after undergoing a 2-level ACDF, will be evaluated at 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months.

Eligibility Criteria

Age22 Years - 79 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Males and females aged 22-79 years.
  • Documented diagnosis of cervical spine radiculopathy or myelopathy.
  • Symptomatic cervical degenerative disc disease at 2 contiguous levels between C2 through T1.
  • Baseline NDI score ≥30 and/or baseline mJOA score ≤16.
  • Pathology at the level to be treated correlating to the primary symptoms confirmed by imaging (computed tomography (CT), CT myelography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or plain radiography).
  • Unresponsive to non-operative, conservative treatment for at least 6 weeks from symptom onset or presence of progressive cervical myelopathy or signs of nerve root/spinal cord compression despite continued non-operative treatment.
  • Ability to speak, read, and understand the IRB approved Informed Consent document.
  • Willingness to give informed consent for participation in the study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Any prior cervical surgeries at the symptomatic levels; prior surgery or cervical fusion procedure at any level.
  • Fewer than 2 or more than 2 vertebral levels requiring treatment.
  • Anatomy that is non-conducive to receiving investigational device.
  • More than one immobile vertebral level between C-1 to C-7 from any cause, including but not limited to congenital abnormalities and osteoarthritic "spontaneous" fusions.
  • Known diagnosis of osteoporosis, current pharmacological treatment for osteoporosis or bone density which in the medical opinion of the surgeon precludes operation or contraindicates instrumentation.
  • Paget disease, osteomalacia, or any other metabolic bone disease other than osteoporosis.
  • Active malignancy that includes a history of any invasive malignancy (except nonmelanoma skin cancer), unless previously treated with curative intent and with no clinical signs or symptoms of the malignancy for \> 5 years.
  • Severe cervical instability based on radiographic exam (whereby an anterior and posterior reconstructive procedure is indicated).
  • Decompression requiring corpectomy at one or more levels.
  • Active systemic infection or an infection localized to the site of the proposed implantation.
  • Open wounds.
  • Signs of local inflammation.
  • Fever.
  • Any diseases or conditions that would preclude accurate clinical evaluation.
  • Daily, high-dose oral and/or inhaled steroids or a history of chronic use of high-dose steroids.
  • +15 more criteria
