New bone graft material under scrutiny in 1,000-Patient spine study

NCT ID NCT06971835

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is tracking 1,000 people who received a bone graft material called Natural Matrix Protein (NMP) during spine surgery for degenerative disc disease. Researchers will monitor bone fusion, pain, and disability over two years to see if NMP is safe and helps the spine heal. Participants are already receiving NMP as part of their standard care, and this registry simply observes their outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Natural Matrix Protein (NMP) fibers and micro particulates, a bone graft material

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that NMP is a safe and effective option to help bones fuse in spine surgery, potentially improving pain and disability outcomes.

What could go wrong

This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so results may be less reliable. It is also early-stage evidence for a product already in use, and individual results may vary.
