New bone graft material could improve spine surgery outcomes
NCT ID NCT06000319
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new material called Natural Matrix Protein (NMP) fibers, made from human bone, for spine fusion surgery. It includes 200 adults with degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, or spondylolisthesis who need fusion of up to three vertebrae in the neck or lower back. The goal is to see if NMP fibers help bones fuse safely and effectively, reducing the chance of repeat surgery.
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 (human bone allograft)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safer, more effective way to fuse spine bones, reducing the need for repeat surgeries.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with 200 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include bone resorption, inflammation, or ectopic bone formation.

Who is studied
The study population will include up to 200 patients who have been treated with Induce Biologics NMP™ during cervical or lumbar interbody fusion. All subjects who meet all inclusion criteria and do not meet any exclusion criteria will be included in the study. It is expected that enrollment will take 12 months to complete.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject was diagnosed with DDD, spinal stenosis, or spondylolisthesis; 2. Subject has undergone cervical or lumbar interbody spine fusion at no more than 3 adjacent levels between C2 and T1 or between L1 and S1; 3. Subject has undergone cervical or lumbar interbody spine fusion using NMP Fibers; 4. Subject must be 18 years of age or older at the time of consent; 5. Subject must be willing and able to sign an informed consent document; 6. Subject must be willing and able to return to the study clinic for all follow-up visits, agree to participate in post-operative clinical and radiographic evaluations. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subject is under 18 years of age at the time of consent; 2. Subject is currently experiencing major mental illness (psychosis, schizophrenia, major affective disorder) which in the opinion of the investigator may indicate that the symptoms are psychological rather than of physical origin; 3. Subject is currently imprisoned.
