VIA Disc NP Pilot for Patients With Symptomatic Degenerated Discs
A Pilot Study Evaluating the Safety and Clinical Effectiveness of Nucleus Pulposus Allograft for Supplementation of Nucleus Pulposus Tissue in Patients With Symptomatic Degenerated Discs
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The study will include adult subjects, ages 18 years or older, with symptomatic lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration that is not adequately resolved by non-surgical standard care. For the purpose of the primary analysis, subjects are considered enrolled in the study once they have signed the informed consent.
Each subject will receive one injection per level and be evaluated for efficacy and safety during the 24 month observation period. The study is expected to be completed within 26 months, inclusive of enrollment and follow-up for all subjects.
Subjects will be evaluated at baseline and followed through 24 months to establish safety and efficacy of the treatment. The expected duration of subject participation from screening/enrollment through final follow-up is 104 weeks.

Participation Criteria
Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
Eligibility for inclusion is evaluated on a site-specific basis based on each subject's medical, clinical, and radiographic presentation. In addition, for study consistency purposes, the MRI imaging will be submitted to Medical Metrics Imaging (MMI), a core lab, for independent review. MMI will review imaging of every subject to confirm radiographic inclusion criteria. The Medical Monitor will make the final determination for inclusion on all subjects based on review of the MRI relevant medical history and source documents.

- Body mass index (BMI) < 35;
- Documented diagnosis of moderate radiographic degeneration of up to 2 intervertebral discs from L1 to S1, with a suspected associated discogenic chronic low back pain;

Failed conservative care over the past 3 months of at least 2 conservative treatments including:
- oral pain medication [analgesics, steroids and/or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)],

- Any mental instability, bipolar disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or uncontrolled anxiety/depression and/or require new or changed anti-depressants or anti-psychotic medications within 3 months of enrollment;
- Compensated injuries or ongoing litigation regarding back pain/injury, or financial or other incentives to remain impaired;
- If female and of child-bearing potential, are pregnant or breastfeeding or a plan to become pregnant or breastfeed in the first 12 months post-treatment;
- Any medical condition that impairs follow-up (i.e., fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic regional pain syndrome, reflex sympathetic dystrophy);
- Evidence of substance abuse (including marijuana); Note: subjects using prescribed extended-release narcotics (e.g., fentanyl patch, MS Contin, oxycontin) within the 3 months prior to screening; subjects on long-acting opioids may be given option to wean off opiates before enrollment. Subjects on short-acting opiates (e.g., hydrocodone, oxycodone, tramadol, etc.) may be included and utilization monitored after the treatment;
