Why
  1. The study's listed conditions name Intervertebral Disc Degeneration, a narrower term within Spinal Diseases.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

The primary objective of this study is to measure the success rate of lumbar fusion in subjects at 12 months when instrumented lumbar arthrodesis is performed using OssiMend Bioactive Moldable as the bone grafting material

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to measure the success rate of lumbar fusion in subjects at 12 months when instrumented lumbar arthrodesis is performed using OssiMend Bioactive Moldable as the bone grafting material. The primary endpoints are radiographic evidence of fusion and the absence of serious adverse events attributable to OssiMend Bioactive Moldable. The secondary objective is to evaluate the clinical outcomes over a period of 1 year (2 years, if possible).

Study population

Subjects must be 18 years of age or older at the time of consent and must have a documented diagnosis of degenerative disc disease (DDD) that has failed to respond to nonoperative treatment for at least 6 months

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Subject must be 18 years of age or older at the time of consent and must have a documented diagnosis of degenerative disc disease (DDD) that has failed to respond to nonoperative treatment for at least 6 months. DDD is defined by back and/or radicular pain with degeneration of the disc as confirmed by medical history, physical examination, and radiographic studies that may include CT, MRI, plain X-ray film, discography, myelography, etc. with one or more of the following findings:

    • Instability as defined by >3mm translation or >5 degrees angulation
    • Osteophyte formation of facet joints or vertebral endplates
    • Decreased disc height, on average by >2mm, but dependent upon the spinal level
    • Herniated nucleus pulposus
    • Facet joint degeneration/changes

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject is under 18 years of age at the time of consent
  2. Subject has had prior lumbar spine fusion surgery at any level
  3. Subject is currently undergoing treatment for or has undergone treatment for malignancy
  4. Subject is pregnant or nursing or planning to become pregnant during the two years (24 months) following arthrodesis
  5. Subject has an active (local or systemic) infection or is undergoing adjunctive treatment for infection
  6. Subjects under workers compensation or active litigation
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Fusion Success

    Fusion will be assessed with A/P and Lateral radiographs taken and scored with Lenke's classification of posterolateral fusion success

    Time frame: 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Visual analog scale (VAS) of back and leg (left and right)

    Improvement of pain as defined by the Visual analog scale (VAS) of back and leg (left and right)

    Time frame: 12 months

  2. Oswestry Lower Back Pain Questionnaire

    Pain/Disability as measured by Oswestry Lower Back Pain Questionnaire

    Time frame: 12 months

  3. SF36

    Pain and function as measured by the Short - Form 36

    Time frame: 12 months

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jan 2021 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2026, 71 months after the start.

Of 80 observational studies under Intervertebral Disc Degeneration, half reached primary completion within 61 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 45 and three quarters within 84. This study's planned 71 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 16, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
