Clinical Trial Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Nucleus Pulposus Allograft in Participants With Degenerative Disc Disease

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 22 to 85 years old * Diagnosis of moderate to severe DDD on MRI, Modified Pfirrmann Grade 3-7 * Chronic axial midline low-back pain in the absence of lower extremity motor/sensory/reflex changes with or without referred non-radicular leg pain for at least 6 months prior to screening; unresponsive to at least 3 months of conservative care * Low-back pain severity score of ≥ 40 to ≤ 90 mm on the VAS * ODI score of ≥ 40 to ≤ 80 * Positive sustained hip flexion test * Demonstrated intolerance to sitting * Able to give voluntary, written informed consent to participate and have signed an Informed Consent Form specific to this study * Willing and able to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study with a life expectancy of \> 2 years Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindications to the proposed sedation/anesthetic protocol * Involvement of more than two lumbar discs as evidenced by 3 or more discs with Modified Pfirrmann grade of 3 or greater * Disc height of less than 4mm for any disc between L1-S1 * Symptomatic vertebral compression fracture * Previous surgical treatment of the lumbar spine * History of sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion within the past six months * Received lumbar epidural or intradiscal steroid injection, lumbar facet joint steroid injection, lumbar radiofrequency ablation, provocative or anesthetic discography, SI joint pain injection, injection of methylene blue, dextrose, glucosamine, and chondroitin sulfate, or biacuplasty within 3 months of the Day 0 procedure * Received intraosseous radiofrequency nerve ablation procedure at the same or adjacent level (e.g., Basivertebral nerve ablation or sinuvertebral nerve ablations) * Received prior intradiscal stem cell/progenitor cell therapy or other biological intervention (e.g., MSC, PRP) at the target level within 12 months of the Day 0 procedure * Evidence of dynamic instability on lumbar flexion-extension radiographs (\>3 mm) * Grade 2 or higher spondylolisthesis at the target level, lumbar spondylitis or other undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy, or Type III Modic changes adjacent to the target disc * Radiographic evidence of a full thickness annular tear at the target disc or other abnormal disc morphology * Clinical suspicion of facet pain as primary pain generator * A systemic condition or disease not stabilized or judged by the Investigator to be incompatible with participation in the study (e.g. current systemic infection, uncontrolled autoimmune disease, uncontrolled immunodeficiency disease, recent history of myocardial infarction, uncontrolled diabetes (\>7.0% HbA1C), etc.) * Received VIA Disc NP previously. * Deemed unsuitable for clinical study participation by the Investigator * Evidence of substance abuse (including marijuana); note: subjects using prescribed extended-release narcotics (e.g., fentanyl patch, MS Contin, oxycontin) within the 3 months prior to screening and subjects on long-acting opioids may be given option to wean off opiates before enrollment; subjects on short-acting opiates (e.g., hydrocodone, oxycodone, tramadol, etc.) may be included and utilization monitored after the treatment * Opioid use of more than 90 MME/day * Currently receiving treatment with radiation, chemotherapy, immunosuppression, or chronic steroid therapy (prednisone, or its equivalent, use of up to 5 mg/qd, or inhalation steroids for asthma is allowed) * Metal or ceramic implants in the lumbar spine region * Contraindications to MRI, including non-MRI compatible devices and active implantable devices such as spinal cord stimulators, intrathecal pumps, etc. * Involved in ongoing or closed (within 6 months of screening visit) litigation related to their back pain condition * Any mental instability, unstable bipolar disorders, unmanaged post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or uncontrolled anxiety/depression and/or require new or changed anti-depressants or anti-psychotic medications within 3 months of enrollment * Diagnosis of any traumatic neurological disorders that may impact the study as per the judgement of the Investigator * Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of enrollment and/or plan to become pregnant during the study; pregnancy is confirmed by: * a positive pregnancy test during the screening visit * self-reported pregnancy * Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who are not using a reliable form of contraception (as determined by the Investigator) * Received any experimental drug or device to treat the same condition used within 6 months prior to the screening visit or during the course of the clinical trial * Other persistent pain/nerve issues including, for example, radiculopathy, leg pain, cauda equine syndrome, etc.
