Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - NeoFuse
Treatment: Devices - MasterGraft Granules

Experimental: NeoFuse - Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion with NeoFuse.
NeoFuseTM is constituted of STRO-3 immunological selected allogeneic MPCs, which are derived from adult bone marrow mononucleated cells that are culture-expanded and subsequently cryopreserved.
The allogeneic MPCs are formulated in concentrations of nucleated cells in a 5 mL volume and are cryopreserved in 7.5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/50% Alpha Modified Eagle's Medium (MEM) and 42.5% ProFreeze®. The final formulation consists of 0.15mL (approximately 10 million MPCs) of thawed NeoFuse™ thawed NeoFuseTM combined with the amount of MasterGraftTM Matrix to fill the PEEK cage per ACDF level.

Active Comparator: MasterGraft Granules - Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion with MasterGraft Granules
MASTERGRAFT® GRANULES are a medical-grade, polyporous resorbable ceramic hybrid composed of 15% hydroxyapatite (HA) and 85% beta-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP). The combination of these natural bone materials provides surgeons with an osteoconductive, porous implant that improves osteointegration by allowing cells to colonize throughout the implant and optimize the bone healing process

management

6. Is a candidate for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion in two or three adjacent
cervical interbody levels between C3-C4 to C7-T1

Key exclusion criteria
1. Female subjects who are pregnant or nursing, or women planning to become pregnant

2. Has a current or prior history within the last 3 years of neoplasm (excluding basal
cell carcinoma) and/or any active neoplasm within the last 24 months, prior to
screening.

3. Has at the time of surgery a systemic or local infection at the site of proposed
surgery.

4. Has or is undergoing revision of a prior fusion surgery at any involved level.

5. Requires ACDF at only one cervical interbody level or more than 3 adjacent cervical
interbody levels.

6. Requires ACDF without the use of an anterior cervical plating system.

7. Has osteoporosis as defined by a DEXA T score of = -3.0 or a history of fragility
fractures or other significant bone disease contraindicating the use of spinal
instrumentation.

8. Has a documented medical history or radiographic evidence of a metabolic bone disease
or other condition which would negatively impact the bone healing process.

9. Has a positive screen for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies.

10. Has had treatment with any investigational therapy or device within 6 months of study
surgery and/or plans to participate in any other allogeneic stem cell/progenitor cell
therapy trial during the 2-year follow-up period.

11. Has been a recipient of prior stem cell/progenitor cell therapy for spinal fusion
surgery.

12. Has 20% or greater anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibody titer and/or has
antibody specificities to donor HLA antigens.

13. Is transient or has been treated in the last 6 months before enrollment for alcohol
and/or drug abuse in an inpatient substance abuse program.

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of NeoFuse in
subjects with a diagnosis of degenerative disc disease (DDD) at 2 or more adjacent cervical
vertebral levels between C3-C4 to C7-T1. All subjects in this study will undergo 2 or 3 level
anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with Anterior Cervical Plate Fixation.
