Study summary

This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial evaluating Kore Fiber® versus autograft in adults undergoing posterolateral lumbar fusion (PLF). Participants will receive Kore Fiber on one side of the spine and autograft on the opposite side according to randomized assignment. Fusion outcomes, pain outcomes, and safety will be assessed over 12 months.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of successful fusion at 1 year post-operatively

    \- Defined as the proportion of fusion sides achieving Grade A per the side-specific modified Lenke classification of fusion.

    Time frame: postoperative year 1

Secondary outcomes

  1. Distribution of fusion grades, assessed by Computed Tomography (CT) using the side-specific Modified Lenke classification of fusion grade

    Time frame: postoperative year 1

  2. Changes from baseline (CFB) in Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores on back pain and leg pain, where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain.

    Time frame: baseline, postoperative months 3, 6, and year 1

  3. Incidence and characterization of serious adverse events (SAEs) attributed to graft materials

    Time frame: postoperative year 1
