Brief Summary
The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of this investigational device with autologous iliac bone graft (ICBG) in patients who are deemed to require bone fusion through spinal fixation at two levels (ALIF or OLIF) due to disc degeneration or spinal deformity in the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1) for intervertebral support and correction with the aim of stabilizing the spine.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Primary endpoints of efficacy
Bone fusion status 12 months visit after index procedure The success rate of bone fusion at the 12-month visit after the index procedure will be evaluated. Imaging evaluations will be performed at baseline, after the index procedure (to discharge), at 3, 6, and 12 months (CT scan will be performed at baseline, 6, and 12 months only), and imaging evaluation for the primary efficacy endpoint will be performed by the core laboratory at the 12-month visit. Primary endpoints
12 months
Primary endpoints of safety
Incidence of Adverse Device Effects in both groups up to 12 months post index procedure. To evaluate the rate of subjects experiencing any adverse device effects in both groups that occurring up to 12-month visit after the index procedure.
12months
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Change in disc height at the 12-month visit compared to the measurements taken within 14 days after the index procedure.
From 14 days after the index procedure to 12months
Change of General health condition at follow-ups from baseline at 12months.
From baseline to 12months
Change of OSWESTRY DISABILITY INDEX (ODI) at follow-ups from baseline at month 12.
From baseline to 12Months
Change of Lower back pain at follow-ups from baseline at 12months
From baseline to 12months
Change of Pain in lower extremities (leg pain) at follow-ups from baseline at 12months
From baseline to12months

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Requirement for bone fusion via consecutive 2-level spinal fusion due to disc degeneration or spinal deformity in the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1)
- Symptomatic degenerative lesions from L2 to S1 confirmed by imaging (MRI or myelography within 12 months prior to enrollment) with neurological symptoms due to nerve root compression, including radiating pain, sensory disturbance, numbness, weakness, or neurogenic claudication
- Degenerative disc disease with discogenic back pain, with or without leg pain, supported by clinical history and radiographic findings (e.g., CT, MRI, X-ray), with at least one of the following: instability (angular motion ≥5° and/or translation ≥4 mm), osteophyte formation, decreased intervertebral disc height, ligamentous thickening, disc degeneration or herniation, or facet joint degeneration
- Preoperative Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score ≥35%
- Skeletally mature
- Age 18 to 80 years at the time of surgery
- Failure to respond to at least 3 months of non-operative treatment (e.g., bed rest, physical therapy, medication, nerve block, manipulation, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)
- Ability to provide written informed consent after receiving adequate explanation of the study
You may not qualify if:
- Prior spinal surgery at the target or adjacent intervertebral level, except for decompression procedures such as discectomy
- Inability to complete both investigational device implantation and posterior fixation in a single procedure
- Expected total rhBMP-2 dose greater than 12 mg
- Planned use of an internal or external bone growth stimulator
- Osteoporosis defined as T-score ≤ -2.5 within 12 months with fragility fracture
- Body mass index (BMI) \>40
- Active malignancy
- Active local or systemic infection
- Use of bone formation promoting agents within 12 months prior to implantation
- Use of medications that may interfere with bone or soft tissue healing within 30 days prior to implantation, including corticosteroids, antitumor agents, or immunosuppressants
- History of autoimmune diseases affecting bone metabolism or the spine, including ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease, or rheumatoid arthritis
- History of endocrine or metabolic disorders affecting bone formation, including Paget's disease or osteodystrophy
- Prior exposure to modified proteins used for bone formation
- Known hypersensitivity or allergy to device materials or related substances, including titanium, collagen, or protein-based products
- History of severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis
- +10 more criteria
