NCT ID NCT07414745

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares a new spine cage device (MDT-0123) to a standard bone graft for patients needing two-level spinal fusion in the lower back. About 140 adults with disc degeneration or spinal deformity will be enrolled in Japan. The main goal is to see if the device leads to better bone fusion and fewer side effects after 12 months.
