Randomized, Sham-Controlled, Multi-Center, Double-Blind Clinical Trial Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Nucleus Pulposus Allograft to Supplement Nucleus Pulposus Tissue in Participants With Lumbar Discogenic Pain Associated With Degenerative Disc Disease

Summary

VIA Disc NP is a non-surgical intervention intended to supplement nucleus pulposus tissue in degenerated intervertebral discs. This is a randomized, sham-controlled, multi-center, double-blind clinical trial with an open label roll-in period of one participant per site in which participants with lumbar discogenic pain associated with DDD will receive one VIA Disc NP treatment to each affected level (up to 2 levels). Participants enrolled after the roll-in stage will be randomized on a 2:1 basis to receive either a single VIA Disc NP intradiscal injection at 1 or 2 levels or the sham procedure at 1 or 2 levels. At 12 months, participants in the sham arm with continued symptoms may cross-over, receive VIA Disc NP, and will restart the study visit schedule, completing an additional 12 months of follow-up post-cross-over.
