18The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of SI-6603 in lumbar disc herniation patients.
SI-6603 is administrated into the nucleus pulposus of an intervertebral disc.
Inclusion Criteria: Patients with lumbar disc herniation (L4-L5 or L5-S1) as assessed by MRI and clinical symptoms corresponding to position of the impaired nerve root. Patients assessed as positive in the SLR test. Patients with sciatica in either lower leg. Patients with no improvement from pharmacotherapy or concomitant treatment with drug and nerve block. Exclusion Criteria: Patients who have 2 or more lumbar disc herniations as assessed by MRI. Patients with "extrusion-type" or "sequestration-type" herniation in whom a rupture into the posterior longitudinal ligament is identified by MRI. Patients who have received nerve block within 3 weeks before screening. Patients who have undergone lumbar operation, chemonucleolysis, or percutaneous nucleotomy.
