Important Findings • Primary study objective met • High fusion rates • Shorter operative times and less blood loss • Avoided complications and pain associated with bone graft harvesting
InFUSE™Bone Graft versus Autograft Harvested from Iliac Crest
Clinical Trial DesignOpen Surgical Approach • Prospective, randomized controlled design • Investigational Treatment - LT-CAGE™ Device / InFUSE™ Bone Graft • Control Treatment - LT-CAGE ™ Device / autogenous bone
Study Objectives • Primary Objective Equivalence in Overall Success • Secondary Objectives
Study Entrance Criteria • Single level • Symptomatic degenerative disc disease • Inclusion/exclusion criteria
Patient Evaluation • Preoperatively • Surgery/Discharge • Postoperatively: 6 Weeks, 3 Months, 6 Months 12 Months, 24 Months
Patient Population • Patients - 143 received InFUSE™ Bone Graft - 136 received autogenous bone graft • 16 Investigational Centers
Overall Success • Fusion • 15 point improvement in Oswestry score • Neurological maintenance or improvement • No serious adverse event possibly associated to the device • No second surgery failure
Safety Overview • Adverse events • Second surgery procedures • Antibody formation
Comparison of Adverse Eventsin Investigational and ControlTreatment Groups
Differences noted in: • Graft Site Events - Occurred in 6% of control group None in investigational group • Urogenital Resolved prior to discharge
Adverse Events • Typical for patient population • Not unanticipated
Classifications • Revisions • Removals • Supplemental Fixations • Reoperations • Other
Classifications • Revisions - Failure • Removals - Failure • Supplemental Fixations - Failure • Reoperations • Other
Assessment of Antibody Formation • rhBMP-2 • Bovine Type I Collagen • Human Type I Collagen
Comparision ofAuthentic Positive ResponsesSimilar for both groups • One patient in each group had positive response to rhBMP-2. (<1%) • 13% in each group had positive response to bovine Type I collagen. None of these patients had positive results for human Type I collagen.
Safety Summary Investigational and Control group rates are similar for: • Adverse events and second surgery procedures • Antibody responses InFUSE™ Bone Graft eliminates graft harvesting adverse events and pain
InFUSE™ Bone Graft / LT-CAGE™ Device Safe for its intended use
Effectiveness OverviewInFUSE™ Bone Graft / LT-CAGE™ Device patients had: • High fusion rates • Pain relief • Maintenance or improvement in neurological status
Fusion • Primary endpoint • CT scans and radiographs utilized • Two teams of independent reviewers
Fusion Criteria • Radiographic - Bridging trabecular bone - Segmental stability - Lucent line criteria • No “pseudarthrosis” second surgery
Neurological Status Measurements • Motor Function • Sensory • Reflexes • Straight Leg Raise
Secondary Effectiveness Endpoints • Back pain • Leg pain • Disc height maintenance • SF-36
Graft Site Appearance in Control Patients
Use of InFUSE™Bone Graft eliminates: Negatives of Graft-site Appearance, Pain and Morbidity
Laparoscopic Clinical Trial • Data augment safety profile • Supports approval of implantation method • Identical protocol to open study • 134 Investigational patients • 14 Sites
Surgery Data - Laparoscopic • 2 days shorter hospital stay • 45% treated on outpatient basis • Returned to work 20 days sooner
Safety Results - Comparable to Open Surgical Treatment Group
