Cerapedics Announces FDA approval of an IDE supplement for P-15L Bone Graft

Cerapedics, a private ortho-biologics company, today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the company’s Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) supplement, reducing the enrollment requirement for the on-going clinical trial, ASPIRE, for P-15L Bone Graft in a single level  transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) surgery.

“We are pleased to announce FDA approval of an IDE supplement resulting in a reduction of the total number of patients required to be enrolled in our IDE study for P15-L cell-binding peptide technology in the TLIF application,” said Jeffrey Marx, Ph.D., President and Chief Operating Officer of Cerapedics. “The enrollment requirement has been reduced from 364 to 270 patients.” 

The prospective, single-blinded, multi-center, randomized, non-inferiority pivotal IDE study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of P-15L Bone Graft compared to the use of an autologous bone graft when applied in TLIF surgery. “The reduction in requirement will help us significantly reduce the enrollment period of the IDE Study and lead to an earlier PMA submission,” said Glen Kashuba, Chief Executive Officer of Cerapedics.
