Enrollment is planned to begin on 28 February 2026 and continue until the study accrues 140 participants. Led by Medtronic Spinal and Biologics, this study is expected to complete by 31 March 2028. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 17 February 2026.
Brief Summary
The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of this investigational device with autologous iliac bone graft (ICBG) in patients who are deemed to require bone fusion through spinal fixation at two levels (ALIF or OLIF) due to disc degeneration or spinal deformity in the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1) for intervertebral support and correction with the aim of stabilizing the spine.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Primary endpoints of efficacy
Bone fusion status 12 months visit after index procedure The success rate of bone fusion at the 12-month visit after the index procedure will be evaluated. Imaging evaluations will be performed at baseline, after the index procedure (to discharge), at 3, 6, and 12 months (CT scan will be performed at baseline, 6, and 12 months only), and imaging evaluation for the primary efficacy endpoint will be performed by the core laboratory at the 12-month visit. Primary endpoints
12 months
Primary endpoints of safety
Incidence of Adverse Device Effects in both groups up to 12 months post index procedure. To evaluate the rate of subjects experiencing any adverse device effects in both groups that occurring up to 12-month visit after the index procedure.
12months
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Change in disc height at the 12-month visit compared to the measurements taken within 14 days after the index procedure.
The height of the intervertebral disc measured by x-ray in the standing position. The calculation method uses (anterior disc height + central disc height + posterior disc height) divided by the anteroposterior diameter of the vertebral body. Preoperative measurements are conducted to understand the subject's pathological condition. 2) Change of General health condition at follow-
From 14 days after the index procedure to 12months
Change of General health condition at follow-ups from baseline at 12months.
Medical Outcomes Study 36-ltem Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) was used to assess the general health status of the subjects. The results of SF-36 can be summarized into two components: physical element summary (PCS) and mental element summary (MCS).
From baseline to 12months
Change of OSWESTRY DISABILITY INDEX (ODI) at follow-ups from baseline at month 12.
Using the ODI, calculate and evaluate each score for the 10 sections (pain intensity, self-care, raising the object, etc.)
From baseline to 12Months
Change of Lower back pain at follow-ups from baseline at 12months
The numerical rating scale (Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)) used to evaluate lower back pain using a score of 0-10.
From baseline to 12months
Change of Pain in lower extremities (leg pain) at follow-ups from baseline at 12months
The numerical rating scale (Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)) used to evaluate leg pain using a score of 0-10
From baseline to12months
Required time until bone fusion
Assess the time required for bone fusion through imaging evaluation (CT scan, X-ray examination)

1) Subjects who require bone fusion via consecutive 2-level spinal fusion due to disc degeneration or spinal deformity etc. in the lumbosacral vertebrae (L2-S1). 2) Subjects who satisfies any of the following.

  1. Image findings of symptomatic degenerative lesions from L2 to S1(MRI or myelography within 12 months prior to enrollment) and subjects who have been observed to have a neurological disorder by nerve root compression etc. as follows. A) Radiating pain in the lower limbs or buttocks, sensory disturbance, numbness, symptoms of weakness B) B. Nervous claudication
  2. Subjects with degenerative disc disease with disc-derived low back pain, with or without leg pain, and the subject's medical history confirms disc degeneration \[e.g., pain (symptoms of leg, back, or sciatic nerve distribution), functional deficits, and/or neurological defects)\] and one or more of the following on image examination (e.g., CT, MRI, X-ray, etc.): A) Instability (defined as an angle of motion >greater than or equal to 5° and/or oscillation ≥4 mm, based on radiographs of anteroposterior flexion). B) Formation of osteophytes C) Decrease in the height of the intervertebral disc D) Thickening of ligamentous tissue E) Degeneration or herniation of the disc F) Degeneration of facet joints 3) Subjects with an ODI score of 35% or greater prior to the procedure. 4) Subjects with sufficiently mature skeletons. 5) Subjects who are 18 to 80 years of age or older at the time of surgery. 6) Subjects who has not responded to non-operative treatment (e.g., bed rest, physical therapy, medication, nerve block, manipulation, percutaneous electrical stimulation therapy (TENS)) for a period of 3 months. 7) Subjects who have received an adequate explanation of the details of this clinical trial and have given their written consent.
