Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether NuCel is effective in promoting spinal fusion in degenerative disease of the lumbar spine.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study is a prospective, single center clinical trial to establish the efficacy of NuCel, a minimally manipulated allograft tissue, for use in lumbar interbody and intertransverse fusion procedures. Subjects will undergo standard interbody fusion surgery as per the signed informed consent with NuCel and autograft bone. Patients will be evaluated postoperatively at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years (if required).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

NuCel with Autograft

NuCel will be used with local autograft during surgical treatment of one, two or three level degenerative disease of the lumbar spine

Group Type OTHER

NuCel with Autograft

Intervention Type OTHER

NuCel is a minimally manipulated allograft product derived from amniotic membrane along with cells from amniotic fluid. Local autograft is bone that comes from the patient's own vertebrae and surrounding bony structures.
