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.
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, single-blinded, controlled study evaluating safety and preliminary efficacy of immunoselected, culture-expanded, nucleated, allogeneic MPCs (NeoFuse) combined with MasterGraft Matrix in a commercially available PEEK cervical Spacer compared to an active control in subjects undergoing 2 or 3 level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with anterior cervical plate fixation. After the screening and surgical visits, each subject will be evaluated clinically and radiographically within 3 days and 30 days after surgery, and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery. Subjects will be evaluated at the same time points for safety.

Safety of NeoFuse
To determine the safety of NeoFuse using physical examinations, vital signs, treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and the results of clinical lab tests (hematology, serum chemistry, inflammation, and and immunology).
Time frame: 2 years
Fusion success with NeoFuse
To evaluate the fusion success with NeoFuse compared to an active control using CT scans and x-ray of the involved cervical spine levels and assess the change in outcomes (NDI, SF-36, Zung Depression Questionnaire, and WPAI.
Time frame: 1 year
