Study of natural protein for spinal fusion surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial is testing a natural protein material used during spinal fusion surgery to treat lower back pain caused by worn-out discs. It may help patients who haven't gotten better with other treatments and need surgery on up to four levels of the lower spine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have lower back pain from degenerative disc disease that hasn't improved after other treatments.
- You need surgery on up to four discs between the L1 and S1 vertebrae.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having a lumbar fusion using this natural protein material and a cage device.
- You have not had previous fusion surgery at the same level being treated (though past surgery on other spine levels is okay).
- You do not have active cancer, are not on chemotherapy, and do not have an active infection or recent trauma to the surgery area.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests a new material called NMP fibers used during spine fusion surgery to treat conditions like degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, or spondylolisthesis. The goal is to see how well it works for patients having fusion in the neck or lower back.
This study looks at the safety of a material called NMP® used in neck spinal fusion surgery. If you had this surgery between 2022 and 2025 and have follow-up records for at least 3 months, you may be eligible.
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 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 special material (rhBMP-2) placed inside a cage to help two nearby vertebrae in the lower back fuse together. It is for patients whose disc problems or deformity have not improved after at least 3 months of other treatments, and who have significant pain and limited function.
