Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Investigation of the Metal Concentration in Patients Implanted With the PRESTIGE LP™ Cervical Disc at Two Contiguous Levels in the Cervical Spine (NCT NCT03062657)

NCT ID: NCT03062657

Last Updated: 2024-04-05

Results Overview

The concentrations of Titanium, Vanadium, and Aluminum at different time points will be summarized using mean and standard deviation. One participant did not receive metal concentration analysis at baseline, therefore the baseline number of participants for these measures N = 24.

Measure
PRESTIGE LP
Patients receive surgical treatment with the PRESTIGE LP™ Cervical Disc at two contiguous cervical levels from C3-C7. PRESTIGE LP™ Cervical Disc: The PRESTIGE LP™ Cervical Disc is an artificial cervical disc comprising of two low-profile metal plates that interface through a ball and trough mechanism, permitting segmental spinal motion. The PRESTIGE LP™ Cervical Disc was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used at a single and two contiguous levels.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3, 6, and 12 months

Population: 17 patients data are presented at 3 months 16 patients data are presented at 6 months 18 patients data are presented at 12 months

The patients enrolled in the study who receive the PRESTIGE LP™ Cervical Disc at two contiguous levels will be considered an overall success if the following criteria are met: 1. NDI score improvement of at least 15 points from baseline; 2. Maintenance or improvement in neurological status; 3. No serious AE classified as implant associated/related or implant/surgical procedure associated/related; 4. No secondary surgical procedure classified as a "failure".

Timeframe: 3, 6, and 12 months

Population: Due to drop out, not all patients were present for each visit.

The self-administered Neck Disability Index (NDI) Questionnaire will be used. Success for each individual patient will be defined as pain/disability improvement postoperatively according to the following definition: Preoperative Score - Postoperative Score \> 15

Population: Due to drop out, not all patients were present for each visit.

Numerical rating scales adapted in part from Measuring Health (McDowell and Newell, 1996) will be used to evaluate neck pain and arm pain. Intensity of pain is ranked from 0-10 with 0 being no pain and 10 being pain as bad as it could be; duration of pain is ranked from 0-10 with 0 being none of the time and 10 being pain all of the time. The pain score is derived by adding the numerical rating scores from the pain intensity and duration scales. Therefore the total pain is ranked between 0-20 with 0 being no pain, none of the time; and 20 being maximum pain, constantly.

Population: Due to drop out, not all patients were present for each visit.

Neurological status is based on motor function, sensory function, and reflexes. Each of the categories is comprised of a number of elements. Postoperative evaluations of each element will be compared to the preoperative evaluations. Success will be defined as maintenance or improvement in each element for the time period evaluated.

Timeframe: 3, 6, and 12 months

Population: Due to participant drop-out/missed visits, the number of participants per timepoint varies.

Some AEs or treatment failures may lead to a secondary surgical intervention at an operated index level. All patients undergoing a secondary surgical intervention at any operated index level will be followed.
