Conditions studied: Symptomatic Cervical Disc Disease

In brief

A prospective, multicenter, randomized, concurrently controlled, noninferiority clinical trial to compare the safety and effectiveness of instrumented Bio2 Vitrium Cervical Interbody Device in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with structural allograft bone and local autologous bone graft in treating patients with a symptomatic degenerative cervical disc disease at one level from C3/C4 to C7/T1.

Who can join

Age: 22 and older, up to 70. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Symptomatic cervical disc disease (SCDD) in the one vertebral level between C3/C4 to C7/T1, defined as neck or arm (radicular) pain, or functional or neurological deficit and correlated with radiculopathy or myelopathy or radiographic confirmation (by CT, MRI, x-ray, etc.) of any of the following:
• Herniated nucleus pulposus;
• Spondylosis (defined by the presence of osteophytes); or
• Loss of disc height.
• Requires only one cervical vertebral level to be surgically treated, confirmed radiologically by Xray, CT, or MRI and correlated with neurologic examination prior to enrollment;
• Age between 22 and 70 years (inclusive);
• Skeletally mature patients;
• Failed at least 6 weeks of conservative treatment (e.g. medication, physical therapy), or exhibit progressive symptoms or signs of spinal cord/nerve root compression with continued non-operative care;
• Neck Disability Index (NDI) Questionnaire score of at least 30 (on a scale from 0 to 100);
• Able to read and Understand all documents used in this study, including the Informed Consent and patient-reported outcome questionnaires;
• Understand and read English at elementary level;

You may not qualify if…

• More than one vertebral level requiring treatment, confirmed radiologically by X-ray, CT, or MRI
• Cervical instability;
• Prior fusion surgery at any cervical vertebral level;
• Prior surgery at the level to be treated with the exception of surgery that does not require the use of hardware and/or the treatment of facet disease;
• Severe facet disease;
• Clinically compromised vertebral bodies at the affected level(s) due to current or past trauma
• Neck or arm pain of unknown etiology;
• Osteoporosis, osteopenia, Paget's disease, osteomalacia or any other metabolic bone disease;
• a. Osteoporosis is defined as history of fragility fracture and Dexa (DXA) T-score < -2.5 or QCT T-score < 80mg/cubic cm. History of a fragility fracture requires that a DXA scan or QCT scan is completed
