Safety and Preliminary Efficacy Study of NeoFuse in Subjects Undergoing Multi-Level Anterior Cervical Discectomy

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease, Degenerative Spondylolisthesis, Spinal Stenosis

In brief

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of NeoFuse in subjects with a diagnosis of degenerative disc disease (DDD) at 2 or more adjacent cervical vertebral levels between C3-C4 to C7-T1. All subjects in this study will undergo 2 or 3 level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with anterior cervical plate fixation.

• Has osteoporosis as defined by a DEXA T score of ≤ -3.0 or a history of fragility fractures or other significant bone disease contraindicating the use of spinal instrumentation.
• Has a documented medical history or radiographic evidence of a metabolic bone disease or other condition which would negatively impact the bone healing process.
• Has a positive screen for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies.
• has had treatment with any investigational therapy or device within 6 months of study surgery and/or plans to participate in any other allogeneic stem cell/progenitor cell therapy trial during the 2-year follow-up period.
• Has been a recipient of prior stem cell/progenitor cell therapy for spinal fusion surgery.
