Moldable bone putty could improve spine surgery outcomes
NCT ID NCT04775537
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a moldable bone graft material called OssiMend Bioactive Moldable in people having lumbar spine fusion surgery for degenerative disc disease. The goal is to see if it helps the bones fuse together successfully and reduces pain and disability. About 120 adults who have not improved with other treatments will be enrolled and followed for 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- OssiMend Bioactive Moldable (a moldable bone graft material used during spine surgery)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a better option for spinal fusion, potentially improving bone healing and reducing pain for people with degenerative disc disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small study (120 people) and results may not apply to everyone. The device is already used, but this trial is testing it in a specific surgical context, so benefits may be modest or not seen at all.
