Centinel Spine Clinical Study for Total Disc Replacement for 2-Level Symptomatic Cervical Disc Disease

Williamsville, NY 2022 – Axis Neurosurgery and Spine, Dr. Ryan DenHaese announced today their involvement as investigators in the Centinel Spine, LLC, Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Safety and Effectiveness of prodisc® C SK and prodisc® C Vivo to Mobi-C® Cervical Disc in the Treatment of Two-Level Symptomatic Cervical Disc Disease (SCDD).

The prodisc® products being used in the trial are built on the prodisc® technology platform, the most widely used Total Disc Replacement system in the world. No other disc replacement system has been studied more, with over 540 published papers across a global clinical usage period of 30+ years. The prodisc technology has been validated with over 225,000 device implantations and a reported reoperation rate of less than 1%. The prodisc C Vivo system has been used outside the US for over 10 years, and the prodisc C SK device is an evolution of the original prodisc C with a smaller keel design.

The Mobi-C (Zimmer Biomet) is FDA-approved for 1- and 2-level use. The prodisc® systems are being investigated for approval by the FDA for 2-level use.

Enrolled patients will be evaluated before surgery, as well as after surgery (at 2 and 6 weeks, 3-, 6-, 12- and 24 months)—with each visit taking approximately 1-2 hours. After the 2-year visit, patients may be asked to return annually for follow-up visits for up to 7 years. Approximately 20 patients will be included in the study at Axis Neurosurgery and Spine, with a minimum of 390 in the study overall. Patients with appropriate indications should review their condition with their doctor to determine if involvement in the clinical trial is appropriate.
