Summary

VIA Disc NP is an off-the-shelf minimally processed human nucleus pulposus tissue allograft intended to supplement degenerated intervertebral discs.

The study is a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, multi-center study in participants with symptomatic lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration (\> 6 months) and unresponsive to conservative therapy for at least 3 months. Participants will be randomized on a 1:1 basis to receive either a single VIA Disc NP intradiscal injection at 1 or 2 levels or a sham procedure at 1 or 2 levels.

Conditions

  • Degenerative Disc Disease
  • Disc Degeneration
  • Lumbar Discogenic Pain

Interventions

OTHER

VIA Disc NP

Participants will receive a single dose, intradiscal injection of 100 mg of VIA Disc NP mixed with sterile saline according to product Instructions for Use (IFU) and administered to the affected level(s), L1-S1 (1 or 2 levels).

OTHER

Sham Injection

Participants will receive the sham procedure at 1 or 2 levels. The procedure will be identical to the investigational procedure with the following exception: A 20G spinal needle will be carefully inserted through the skin and muscle of the back but WILL NOT penetrate the annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc.
