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

  • Has a primary diagnosis of symptomatic lumbar degeneration with or without foraminal or recess stenosis of the lumbar confirmed by subject history and radiographic imaging (CT, MRI, X-rays) with no more than a Grade 2 (≤50% translation) spondylolisthesis. Symptomatic lumbar degeneration (L1 to S1) that may be associated with a co-morbid condition.
  • Has a history of failure conservative treatment (e.g. bed rest, physical therapy, medications, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), manipulation, and/or spinal injections) for at least 6 months
  • Has preoperative Oswestry Disability Index score ≥ 40/100 at baseline
  • Male or Female, 21-80 years of age and skeletally mature at the time of surgery
  • Psychosocially, mentally and physically able to fully comply with this protocol including adhering to follow-up schedule and requirements and filling out forms
  • Signed

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous instrumented surgery (i.e.: anterior disc replacement, spinal fusion, interspinous device, etc.) at the index lumbar level or an adjacent level;
  • Degenerative or lytic spondylolisthesis greater than Grade 2 (50% translation);
  • Active : A patient with a history of any invasive malignancy (except non-melanoma skin cancer), unless he/she has been treated with curative intent and there have been no clinical signs or symptoms of the malignancy for at least 5 years;
  • Any degenerative muscular or neurological condition that would interfere with evaluation of outcomes, including but not limited to Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or multiple sclerosis;
  • Has chronic or acute renal and/or hepatic impairment and/or failure or prior history of renal and/or hepatic parenchymal disease;
  • Lactating, pregnant or interested in becoming pregnant in the next 3 years;
  • Is currently participating in an therapy (device and/or pharmaceutical) within 30 days prior to entering the study or such treatment is planned during the 24 months following enrollment into the study.
  • Known or allergy to any components of the study treatments inclusive of hypersensitivity or allergy to any BMP-2 type recombinant proteins or peptides.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

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.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall Success

    Meet all of the following conditions: 1. Fusion success 2. Oswestry Disability Index success 3. Neurological success 4. No subsequent surgical interventions 5. No related serious event

    Time frame: 24 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Fusion Success

    Fusion Success at Month 12 via CT scan and X-ray defined by the success of the 3 components: Interbody Bridging Bone from the superior to the inferior vertebral body (via CT), Angular Motion ≤ 5° (via X-ray) AND Translational Motion ≤ 3 mm at the index level (via X-ray). Secondary categorical endpoints will be summarized over time using counts and percentages.

    Time frame: 12 months after surgery

  2. Overall Success

    Meet all of the following conditions: 1. Fusion success 2. Oswestry Disability Index success 3. Neurological success 4. No subsequent surgical interventions 5. No related serious event

    Time frame: 6 and 12 months after surgery

  3. Fusion Success

    Fusion Success at Month 6 and Month 24 via CT scan and X-ray defined by the success of the 3 components: Interbody Bridging Bone from the superior to the inferior vertebral body (via CT), Angular Motion ≤ 5° (via X-ray) AND Translational Motion ≤ 3 mm at the index level (via X-ray). Secondary categorical endpoints will be summarized over time using counts and percentages.

    Time frame: 6 and 24 months after surgery

  4. ODI score

    Evaluate Oswestry Disability Index(ODI) score/ lowest 0(best) to highest 100(worst)

    Time frame: 6weeks, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60months after surgery

  5. VAS score

    Evaluate Visual Analog Scale(VAS) score/ none (0 mm) to an extreme amount of pain (100mm)

    Time frame: 6weeks, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60months after surgery

  6. SF-12 score

    Evaluate SF-12 scores / lowest 0(worst) to highest 100(best)

    Time frame: 6weeks, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60months after surgery

  7. Time to Fusion Success

    Time frame: From surgery to 60 months after surgery

  8. Time to First SSI

    Time frame: From surgery to 60 months after surgery

  9. Treatment satisfaction

    Time frame: 6weeks, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60months after surgery

  10. Intraoperative variables

    Surgery time, blood loss

    Time frame: intraoperative

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 Aug 26, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
