About this trial

This is a phase IV post-marketing study for MagnetOs Flex Matrix. MagnetOs Flex Matrix is a synthetic bone graft extender product that is routinely used by surgeons as a treatment for patients with degenerative disc disease and undergoing spinal fusion surgery.

In this study, MagnetOs Flex Matrix will be used according to the latest U.S. Instructions For Use, specifically as a bone graft extender mixed with autograft in a 1:1 vol.% in the posterolateral spine.

Trinity Elite will also be used according to its latest IFU approved in the US. Specifically, this cellular based allograft is an allograft intended for the treatment of musculoskeletal defects.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient is able to read/be read, understand, and provide written informed consent and has signed the Investigational Review Board (IRB) approved informed consent.

Male or female patient ≥ 18 years old.

Patients with leg pain, and/or back pain requiring up to four-level instrumented posterolateral lumbar/thoraco-lumbar fusion (T11 - S1)

Failed conservative treatment (physical therapy, bed rest, medications, spinal injections, manipulations, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) for a minimum period of 3 months prior to study enrollment.

Disqualifiers

Requires > four-level fusion or expected to need secondary intervention within one year following surgery.

Had prior PLF fusion or attempted PLF fusion at the involved levels

Had previous decompression at the involved levels.

Women who are or intend to become pregnant within the next 12 months

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Radiographic Fusion by CT Scan

The rate of posterolateral lumbar/thoracolumbar fusion assessed by CT-scan at Month 12. Radiographic as determined by evidence of bridging trabeculae or continuous bony connection between the superior and inferior transverse processes.

Time frame
Month 12

Secondary outcomes

1

Radiographic Fusion by Plain Radiographs

The rate of posterolateral lumbar/thoracolumbar fusion assessed by plain radiographs.

Time frame
Month 6 and Month 12
2

Radiographic Fusion by CT Scan

The rate of posterolateral lumbar/thoracolumbar fusion assessed by CT-scan at Month 6. Radiographic as determined by evidence of bridging trabeculae or continuous bony connection between the superior and inferior transverse processes.

Time frame
Month 6
3

Functional Outcome by Oswestry Disability Index

Functional outcome by the Oswestry Disability Index questionnaire. Patient-completed questionnaire which gives a subjective percentage score of level of function (disability) in activities of daily living. The lower the percentage the higher the patient's functionality. 0-20% minimal disability, 80-100% significant disability.

Time frame
Screening, Week 2, Week 6, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12
4

Back and Leg Pain by Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS)

Change in back and leg pain using Visual Analog Pain Scale score. The patient completed questionnaire is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity using a continuous scale comprised of a horizontal line 10 centimeters (100 mm) in length. The line is anchored by "no pain" (score of 0) and "worst imaginable pain". A higher score indicates greater pain intensity.

Time frame
Screening, Week 2, Week 6, Month 3, Month 6, and Month 12

Other outcomes

1

Safety Endpoint - number of patients with Adverse Events

The number of patients with Adverse Events from Screening up to Month 12 after surgery.

Time frame
Screening up to 12 Months post-op
2

Safety Endpoint - number of patients with Serious Adverse Events

The number of patients with Serious Adverse Events from Screening up to Month 12 after surgery

Time frame
Screening up to 12 Months post-op
3

Safety Endpoint - number of patients with Adverse Device Effects

The number of patients with Adverse Device Effects from Screening up to Month 12 after surgery.

Time frame
12 Months
4

Safety Endpoint - number of patients with Device Related Complications

The number of patients with any complications considered to device related with 12 months after surgery.

Time frame
12 Months
