What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of the study is to confirm the safety and effectiveness of SB-01 For Injection in adult patients with chronic low back pain and related disability due to Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease. The primary effectiveness hypothesis is superiority of the investigational product relative to control in terms of the percentage of subjects improving in pain-related disability.

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify whether you must stop taking your current medications, but it mentions that certain medications are prohibited. It's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team to see if any adjustments are needed.

How is the SB-01 treatment for Degenerative Disc Disease different from other treatments?

The SB-01 treatment for Degenerative Disc Disease is unique because it may involve a novel approach similar to NTG-101, which has shown promising results in reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair in degenerative discs, potentially offering benefits over traditional treatments like spinal steroid injections that lack lasting improvement.12345

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment SB-01 Injection for Degenerative Disc Disease?

Research on osteogenic protein-1 (OP-1), a component similar to SB-01, shows it can reduce degeneration and pain in animal models, suggesting potential benefits for degenerative disc disease.16789

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

Adults over 18 with chronic low back pain from Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease, confirmed by MRI. Participants must have tried conservative treatment for at least 3 months and be willing to use effective contraception if of childbearing potential. Exclusions include prior spine surgery, certain MRI findings like disc herniation or severe facet arthrosis, chronic narcotic use, systemic infections, active malignancy, pregnancy, and involvement in other clinical trials.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

  • SB-01 For Injection
  • Sham Needle
Trial Overview The trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of SB-01 For Injection compared to a sham needle (placebo) in reducing pain-related disability due to lumbar degenerative disc disease. The goal is to see if patients receiving SB-01 experience more significant improvements than those receiving the placebo.
