New expandable cage for lumbar spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old
- You have been diagnosed with lumbar spondylolisthesis (a slipped vertebra) or lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine canal)
- Your problem is at only one level of your lower back, specifically at L2/3, L3/4, or L4/5
- You have tried non-surgical treatments (like physical therapy or medication) for at least 6 months without success
- You have not had any prior surgery on your lower back or the area behind your abdominal organs

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways to add support between the bones in your lower back (lumbar fusion) using special implants called cages. It might help if you have long-lasting low back pain from disc problems that haven't improved with other treatments.
This trial tests a new surgical technique for people with lumbar spinal stenosis and an unstable spine. It aims to see if the procedure improves walking ability and quality of life in patients who haven't improved with other 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 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.
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 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.
