The FDA has the authority to require sponsors to perform a post-approval study (or studies) at the time of approval of a premarket approval (PMA), humanitarian device exemption (HDE), or product development protocol (PDP) application. Post-approval studies can provide patients, health care professionals, the device industry, the FDA and other stakeholders information on the continued safety and effectiveness (or continued probable benefit, in the case of an HDE) of approved medical devices. This database allows you to search Post-Approval Study information by applicant or device information.

Detailed Study Protocol Parameters
Study Objectives This is a prospective cohort to continue follow-up of the subjects who participated in (1) the IDE premarket study and (2) the continued access study.
Study Population The study population is as per device indication. The study includes IDE and CAS subjects. This device is indicated for skeletally mature patients for reconstruction of the disc from C3-C7 following single-level discectomy for intractable symptomatic cervical disc disease (SCDD). Symptomatic cervical disc disease is defined as neck or arm (radicular) pain and/or a functional/neurological deficit with at least one of the following conditions confirmed by imaging (CT, MRI, or X-rays): herniated nucleus pulposus, spondylosis (defined by the presence of osteophytes), and/or loss of disc height. The ProDiscTM-C Total Disc Replacement is implanted via an open anterior approach. Patients receiving the ProDiscTM-C Total Disc Replacement should have failed at least six weeks of non-operative treatment prior to implantation of the ProDiscTM-C Total Disc Replacement.
Sample Size 239 ProDiscTM -C (103 Randomized and 136 Continued Access) and 106 ACDF patients for a total of 345 patients
Key Study Endpoints A patient will be considered an overall success if all of the following conditions are met:
The patient's NDI score improves by at least 20% over preoperative baseline value;
The patient's neurologic parameters, i.e. motor sensory, and reflexes are maintained or improved as compared to preoperative baseline value
No removals, revisions, re-operations or additional fixation were required to modify any implant
No adverse events occur which are related to the treatment.

Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up Data will be collected at 36, 48, 60, 72 and 84 months postoperative
Interim or Final Data Summary
Interim Results So far, since the approval of the device (December 17, 2007), a total of 86 Adverse Events (AEs) from 40 ProDisc-C patients (39% of 103) and 98 AEs from 47 ACDF control patients (44% of 106) have been reported in the post-approval period follow-up of the IDE cohort as of November 23, 2009. During the same period, 188 AEs from 74 ProDisc-C patients (54% of 136) reported in the CAS cohort. For implant-related AEs, the CAS cohort had 2 cases (1 upper extremity pain and one index level surgery); and ACDF patients in the IDE cohort had 1 implant-related surgery.
Actual Number of Patients Enrolled PDC: 103
ACDF: 106
PDC-CA: 135
Total: 345
Actual Number of Sites Enrolled Clinical sites: 14
Patient Follow-up Rate At 84-month:
PDC: 93.9%
ACDF: 92.8%
PDC-CA: 83%
Final Safety Findings Death: There were 12 instances of death for enrolled subjects though 10 deaths (10/345, 2.9%) occurred within the
study window. There are 3 deaths in the PDC cohort (3/103, 2.9%), which is not significantly different from the
control group
Adverse events: PRODISC C is not statistically different from ACDF when categorizing the data by the
number of AEs. In the PDC group, there are 47 mild AEs (47/103, 45.6%), 38 moderate AEs (38/103,
36.9%), and 38 severe AEs (38/103, 36.9%).
Device Underwent Surgical Intervention: 6 PDC subjects (6/103, 5.8%), 6 PDC-CA (6/135, 4.4%) subjects
and 18 ACDF (18/106, 17.0%) subjects underwent subsequent surgical interventions at the index level.
Final Effect Findings The results of Overall Success analyses indicate that the PRODISC C maintains non-inferiority to the
ACDF control group in 7-year follow-up in both the primary analysis (Sponsor’s definition) and the
additional analysis (FDA’s definition) of Overall Success.
Study Strengths & Weaknesses This is a clinical study with a control group as the comparator which increased the internal validity in
clinical interpretation. This study has a long range of follow-up (7 years) with a decent follow-up rate for
a large sample size (345 patients).
Recommendations for Labeling Changes Labeling change is recommended to reflect the long-term data from the post-approval study. The
labeling change should include a new section on the label showing a summary of the post-approval
study methods (including study objectives, design, population, number of enrolled sites/subjects, key
endpoints, follow–up visits etc.), final results and study strengths and limitations of the PAS.
