Cervical Disc Disease, Degenerative Disc Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
A prospective, multicenter post-market clinical follow-up study to evaluate the 10-year long-term safety and effectiveness of the Simplify Disc in subjects who were enrolled in the post approval study (NCT04630626).
Interventions
Simplify Disc is a weight-bearing cervical artificial disc implant consisting of PEEK (polyetheretherketone) endplates and one semi-constrained, fully articulating, mobile Zirconia Toughened Alumina ceramic (ZTA) core.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical Composite Success | 10 years | Individual patient success for the primary endpoint will be assessed at 120 months and is defined as follows: 1. Improvement on the Neck Disability Index (NDI) of at least 15 percentage points compared to baseline (pre-op), and 2. No device failures by month 120, and 3. No secondary surgical intervention (SSI) at the index level (i.e., revision, removal, reoperation, or supplemental fixation) by month 120. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of subjects meeting MCID for Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for each of the following pain locations and each annual timepoint: neck and arm pain, neck only pain, left arm pain, and right arm pain | 10 years | Visual Analog Scale, scale is reported in a range from 0 to 100, with 0 consistent with no pain and 100 with most pain |
| Motor status at each annual timepoint compared to baseline | 10 years | A change of one or more grade levels in muscle strength will be regarded as clinically significant. |
| Sensory status at each annual timepoint compared to baseline | 10 years | Sensation will be graded as normal or abnormal (diminished or absent). Any changes from abnormal to normal or absent to diminished will be regarded as clinically significant improvement. |
| Treatment satisfaction questionnaire at each annual timepoint | 10 years | Responses range from very dissatisfied to very satisfied |
| SF-12v2® Health Survey at each annual timepoint compared to baseline | 10 years | The SF-12 is a multipurpose short form survey with 12 questions selected from the SF-36 Health Survey. The questions were combined, scored and weighted to create mental and physical functioning and overall health-related quality of life. Higher scores indicate better outcomes. Scores range from 0-15. |
| Percentage of subjects meeting the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for NDI at each annual timepoint | 10 years | Neck Disability Index; scale is reported in a range from 0-100, with 0 consistent with best ability to function and 100 worst ability to function. |
| Disc height at each annual timepoint will be compared to baseline | 10 years | Average disc height is calculated as the simple average of the anterior and posterior disc heights |
| Adjacent level disc degeneration (ALDD) at each annual timepoint will be compared to baseline | 10 years | ALDD is graded in accordance with definitions adapted from Kellgren and Lawrence: None; Doutbtful;Minimal;Moderate;Severe |
| Displacement or migration of the Simplify Disc at each annual timepoint will be compared to the post-op timepoint in the IDE study (NCT02667067) | 10 years | Device migration assesses significant movement of the implant postoperatively |
| Range of motion (ROM) at each annual timepoint compared to baseline | 10 years | Changes of \>3 mm will be considered significant due to the margin of error in radiographic determination of displacement distances. |
| Rate of adverse events attributable to Simplify Disc, or use of additional NuVasive instruments, implants, or technologies at each annual timepoint | 10 years | Number of adverse events related to Simplify Disc or additional NuVasive products |
| Dysphagia Handicap Index1 (DHI) at each annual timepoint compared to baseline | 10 years | DHI is scored from 0-100, with a higher score indicative of a less desirable outcome. |
