A study of LDGraft for single-level lumbar fusion
This study tests a new graft material called LDGraft that may help fuse two vertebrae in your lower back after surgery. If you have degenerative disc disease in one lumbar level and haven't found relief from non-surgical treatments, this trial might be an option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 22 and 80 years old.
- You have degeneration in one lumbar disc causing back pain or leg symptoms.
- Your disability score is at least 35 on a standard back-pain questionnaire.
- You have tried non-surgical treatments (like medication, injections, physical therapy) for at least 6 months without adequate relief.
- You have not had prior spinal fusion or disc replacement 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.
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 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 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 (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.
