September 27, 2023 updated by: Intrinsic Therapeutics
A Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter Study to Demonstrate the Superiority of the Barricaid® to Discectomy for Primary Lumbar Disc Herniation: Extended Follow-Up of the Barricaid® Annular Closure Device (ACD) Randomized Control Trial (RCT) Postmarket Cohort for Lumbar Disc Herniation and Interaction With Other Risk Factors
A randomized study to demonstrate the superiority of the Barricaid® when used in conjunction with limited discectomy, compared to limited discectomy alone, with regard to preventing reherniation and the recurrence of pain or dysfunction.
Study Overview
Status
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The Barricaid is indicated for patients with radiculopathy (with or without back pain), a positive Straight Leg Raise (L45, L5S1) or femoral stretch test (L12, L23, L34), and a posterior or posterolateral herniation at one level between L1 and S1 with radiographic confirmation of neural compression using MRI who are found to have an annular defect (post discectomy) which measures between 4mm and 6mm tall and between 6mm and 10mm wide, have a minimum posterior disc height of 5mm, and have failed at least 6 weeks of conservative treatment including a post-approval amendment with follow-up visits at 7 & 10 years for eligible subjects.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Combined success of multiple clinical outcomes, including Oswestry disability index, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and multiple radiographically confirmed measures
Time Frame: 24 months
|
To be considered a success, a patient will have achieved success in each of the following outcomes:
|
24 months
|
No radiographic evidence of recurrent disc herniation
Time Frame: 24 months
|
To be considered a success, a patient will have no evidence of recurrent disc herniation at the index level at any time up to and including the 24-month follow-up.
Recurrent herniation may be confirmed surgically, or radiographically as determined by an independent review (unless surgically confirmed that the suspected herniation is not a herniation, e.g.
scar tissue or residual nucleus material).
|
24 months
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Back Pain Improvement
Time Frame: 24 months
|
Change in back pain as measured using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), on a scale of 0-100, with lower values representing better outcome.
A subject is a success if there is at least a 20 point improvement on the VAS back at 24 months, relative to baseline.
|
24 months
|
Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) Improvement
Time Frame: 24 months
|
Change in function as measured using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).
The ODI is scored on a scale from 0% to 100%, with higher scores indicating higher levels of disability.
A subject is a success if there is at least a 15 point improvement (decrease) in the ODI at the 24 month visit relative to baseline.
|
24 months
|
Reoperation
Time Frame: 24 months
|
A subject will be deemed a success if they have not had a second operation at the index level by the 24 month visit.
Rates of subject success in treatment and control will be compared at 24 months.
A subject is a success if there is at least 75% of the pre-op disc height preserved at the 24 month visit.
|
24 months
|
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) LEG Pain Improvement
Time Frame: 24 months
|
Change in leg pain as measured using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), on a scale of 0-100, with lower values representing better outcome.
A subject is a success if there is at least a 20 point improvement on VAS leg pain in the ipsilateral leg at 24 months, relative to baseline.
|
24 months
|
Disc Height Maintenance
Time Frame: 24 months
|
A subject is a success if there is at least 75% of the pre-op disc height preserved as measured on MRI, at the 24 month visit.
|
24 months
|
Other Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Post 5Y device or procedure-related Serious Adverse Event (SAE)
Time Frame: Post 60 months
|
Adverse events will be categorized as device-related and/or procedure-related and will be assigned severity or seriousness.
Safety will be determined by evaluating the type, frequency, severity, and relationship to device and/or procedure of adverse events through the 10 year time point or until stabilization of the endplate lesions, whichever is longer.
|
Post 60 months
|
Post 5Y secondary surgical intervention at the index level
Time Frame: Post 60 months
|
The safety will be supported if the incidence of secondary surgical interventions (SSIs) and the incidence SAEs related to either the device or procedure is not greater in the Barricaid® annular closure device than in the Control cohort.
|
Post 60 months
