Trial Outcomes & Findings for DuraGen Plus® Adhesion Barrier for Use in Spinal Surgery (NCT NCT00387829)

NCT ID: NCT00387829

Last Updated: 2017-09-07

Results Overview

Radiological score (MRI Outcome score): MRI peridural fibrosis in 5 consecutive 2-D axial Spin Echo T1 axial slices. Score consists of the ratio of total available space in each image and the amount of scar identified (percentage). Pain (VAS): Visual Analog Score used to rate the subject's pain.VAS scale is a 100 mm horizontal line, where the far left side of the scale equals (0) no pain and the far right side of the scale (100) equals the worst possible pain. Functional outcome score (ODI): Used to assess the effect leg or back pain on everyday life. Questions relate to areas such as walking, lifting, sitting, ability to travel as well as other common activities. Ten questions with scores from 0-5. Calculated as percentage: (Actual score /Maximum overall score (worst disability))\*100.

Participant Flow

A total of 343 patients were randomized in the study (Intent-to-treat population). Four patients received treatment (1 Duragen Plus; 3 Surgery alone), but were not randomized correctly, and were followed-up for safety only. Hence the total patients in the Safety Population is 347.
