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 at two levels in subjects who were enrolled in the IDE study (NCT03123549) and/or post approval study (NCT04980378).
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 Rate | 10 years | Individual success is defined as at least a 15 point improvement in Neck Disability Index (NDI) Score at 120 months compared with baseline, maintenance or improvement in neurologic status at 120 months compared with baseline, no additional surgical procedure at the index level within 120 months, and the absence of a serious adverse event classified as implant-associated or implant/surgical procedure-associated within 120 months. A subject must meet each criterion to be considered an overall study success. NDI scale is reported in a range from 0 - 100, with 0 consistent with best ability to function and 100 with worst ability to function. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of subjects meeting MCID for neck and arm pain questionnaire for each of the following pain locations: neck pain, arm pain, left arm pain, right arm pain. | 10 years | Neck and arm pain questionnaire, scale is reported in a range from 0 to 10, with 0 consistent with no pain and 10 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. |
| SF-36® Health Survey at each annual timepoint compared to baseline | 10 years | The SF-36 is a multipurpose survey with 36 questions. 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 0-100. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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 (NCT03123549) | 10 years | Device migration assesses significant movement of the implant postoperatively. Changes of \>3 mm will be considered significant due to the margin of error in radiographic determination of displacement distances. |
| Range of motion (ROM) at each annual timepoint compared to baseline | 10 years | Changes in Global Range of Motion will be calculated by subtracting the range of motion measured at one time point from the baseline range of motion. Change in Global Range of Motion will be reported in units of degrees. |
| 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 |
| Patient satisfaction and perceived effect at each annual timepoint | 10 years | Patient questionnaire assessing satisfaction with treatment and perceived effect of treatment. Success for each satisfaction question will be defined as either a Definitely True or Mostly True response. Success for the perceived effect question will be defined as either a Completely Recovered, Much Improved, or Slightly Improved response. |
| 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 |
