Clinical Trial: Pivotal Study of rhBMP-2/ACS/Allograft Bone Dowel for Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion in Patients With Symptomatic Degenerative Disc Disease

Study Status: Terminated
Recruit Status: Terminated
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: A Clinical Investigation of Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 and Absorbable Collagen Sponge With Allograft Bone Dowel for Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion in Patients With Symptomatic

Brief Summary: The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the implant (rhBMP-2/ACS/allograft bone dowel) as a method of facilitating spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Medtronic Spinal and Biologics

Current Primary Outcome: Overall success [ Time Frame: 24 month ]

A patient will be considered an overall success if all of the following conditions are met:

  1. fusion;
  2. pain/disability (Oswestry) improvement;
  3. maintenance or improvement in neurological status;
  4. no serious adverse event classified as implant associated or implant/surgical procedure associated;
  5. no additional surgical procedure classified as a "failure."


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Disc Height Measurement [ Time Frame: 24 month ]
  • General Health Status (SF-36) [ Time Frame: 24 month ]
  • Back and Leg Pain Status (Numerical Rating Scale) [ Time Frame: 24 month ]
  • Patient Satisfaction [ Time Frame: 24 month ]
  • Patient Global Perceived Effect [ Time Frame: 24 month ]


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
