A new cage for spinal fusion surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new device called the CONDUIT cage for a type of back surgery called anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF). The surgery helps treat degenerative disc disease in the lower back by fusing two vertebrae together using a cage to support the spine. The study will see how well this cage works in patients who are already scheduled for this surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new combination of a cage and bone graft putty for spinal fusion surgery. It is for people with degenerative disc disease or a herniated disc in the neck or lower back that needs surgery.
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 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 trial tests a new spinal implant system (CORUS-LX) for fusing two lower back discs that are causing pain. It is meant for people with severe, long-lasting back or leg pain that hasn't improved with non-surgical treatments.
This study tests a new type of expandable cage used with a bone graft from the back of your spine. It is for people with one-level lower back problems like a slipped disc or narrowing of the spine canal that hasn't improved with other treatments.
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.
