Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include individuals diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and up to Grade I spondylolisthesis who are eligible for a single vertebral level spine fusion.

Probably not a fit

Patients with previous spinal instrumentation, Grade II or greater spondylolisthesis, or infections at the surgery site may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of NB1 Bone Graft in patients with degenerative disc disease who are undergoing transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. Approximately 30 participants will be enrolled across three clinical sites, where they will undergo x-rays and CT scans during baseline and follow-up assessments. The study will also collect data on adverse events and immunology, as well as patient-reported outcomes related to quality of life, pain, and function.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option that enhances recovery and outcomes for patients undergoing spine surgery.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is being evaluated, similar studies have shown promise in using innovative bone grafts for spinal fusion procedures.
