Three insights:

1. Kuros will determine the use of Fibrin-PTH in single level transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion procedures in patients with degenerative disc disease, with autograft as the comparator.

2. Fibrin-PTH consists of a natural fibrin-based healing matrix with an immobilized targeted bone growth factor and is designed to apply onto and around an intervertebral body fusion device as a gel.

3. The primary endpoint of the trial is radiographic interbody fusion, using CT-scans at 12 months.
