Comparing bone grafts for lower back fusion surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests if a special bone graft material (Allosync Expand) plus your own bone is as good as using just your own bone for spinal fusion surgery. It might help people with back or leg pain caused by a slipped vertebra and narrowed spine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 22 years old.
- You have a condition called spondylolisthesis (a vertebra slipped forward) at grade 1 or less, along with back or leg pain from a narrowed spine.
- You have symptoms like leg pain, numbness, weakness, or changes in reflexes.
- You need surgery to fuse 1 to 3 vertebrae in your lower back (L1 to S1).
- You have tried non-surgical treatments (like physical therapy or pain medication) for at least 3 months without enough relief.
- You have not had any prior spine fusion surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new bone graft material called LDGraft for people who need a single-level lower back fusion (anterior lumbar interbody fusion). It aims to see if the new graft is as good as or better than current options for helping bones heal together.
This study tests a new bone graft material (MagnetOs Flex Matrix) compared to a standard bone graft for spinal fusion surgery. It may be an option if you have ongoing back or leg pain that hasn't improved with other treatments and you need a one-time fusion of up to 4 levels in your lower back.
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 study compares a ready-to-use bone putty to standard bone graft materials (with or without your own bone) during back fusion surgery for unstable lower back problems. It looks at whether the putty works as well or better to help the bones fuse and heal.
This trial studies a new bone graft material called Virtuos for use in lower back spinal fusion surgery. It may help patients needing a one or two-level lumbar fusion by providing a safe and effective option for bone healing.
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.
