About this trial

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

In this study, MagnetOs Easypack Putty will be used according to the latest U.S. Instructions For Use, standalone in the posterolateral spine.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • MagnetOs Easypack Putty

    Device

    MagnetOs Easypack Putty used standalone in instrumented posterolateral fusion, 5cc-15c per spine level at the randomized assigned side.

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, 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 Questionnaire

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 in those rehabilitating from low back pain. The lower the percentage the higher the patient's functionality. 0-20% minimal disability, 80-100% significant disability or bedridden.

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

Back and Leg Pain by Visual Analog Pain Scale Questionnaire

Change in back and leg pain using Visual Analog Pain Scale (0-100). Patient-completed questionnaire scoring pain by using 100 mm line. Zero being no pain, 100 is worst pain imaginable.

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