Testing new spinal implant materials for XLIF fusion
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares different advanced materials used in a specific spinal fusion surgery (XLIF). It aims to see which implant material helps the bone fuse well and safely over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 80 and getting a planned XLIF-type spinal fusion for wear-and-tear disc disease (degenerative disc disease).
- Your planned surgery must include the approved NuVasive interbody implant type (Coroent XL PEEK, Modulus 3D-printed titanium, or Cohere XLIF Porous PEEK).
- Your surgery plan must include screws placed from the back on both sides (and sometimes additional small fusion inside the facet joints).
- Your spine curve measurement (coronal Cobb angle) must be under 10° before surgery.
- You must be able to safely have surgery and agree to sign consent to join the study.

This trial compares two bone-graft materials to help bones heal after back fusion surgery using a rod/screw system. It may help people who have ongoing back or leg pain despite at least 3 months of non-surgical treatments.
This trial studies how well specific lumbar (lower back) implant “cages” help fuse vertebrae in people with degenerative disc disease, spinal slippage, narrowing, curvature, or forward-bending deformity. It may help by testing an approach to improve stability and reduce symptoms after surgery.
This trial studies specific neck (cervical) spine implants used during surgery for degenerative disc disease or neck instability, along with a particular kind of bone grafting and supporting hardware. It may help patients by testing whether these devices and the planned fusion approach work safely and effectively in real-world surgery.
This study tests a new implant called ReSpace TiCell Cage for TLIF surgery, which is a procedure to stabilize the lower back by fusing two vertebrae. It may be a good option if you have a degenerative spine condition causing pain or instability and are a candidate for this type of surgery.
This study compares two types of spine surgery (ALIF or XLIF) for one spinal level, and tests how well the bones fuse when a specific bone-forming product is used. It also looks at how patients feel and function after surgery.
This study tests a new bone graft material called ProteiOS during lumbar spine fusion surgery to help bones heal together and reduce pain. It may help people with degenerative spine disease who have not improved with other treatments.
