Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Male or female subjects ≥50 years of age scheduled to undergo single level posterolateral lumbar spinal fusion surgery in conjunction with local autograft bone for degenerative spondylolisthesis
  • Psychosocially, mentally, and physically able to fully comply with this protocol including the required follow-up visits, the filling out of required forms, and have the ability to understand and give written informed consent
  • Willing and able to undergo diagnostic imaging, inclusive of X-rays and CT scans with contrast
  • Persistent, disabling pain after at least 6 months of non-surgical intervention (e.g., anti-inflammatory medication, physical therapy, chiropractic care) prior to providing informed consent
  • Pre-operative Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) Score ≥30
  • Grade 1 or less spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis
  • Absence of neurological motor deficit
  • Agree to use a highly reliable method of birth control (male and female subjects) for at least 90 days after administration of Investigational Product (IP) - Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and again ≤7 days prior to surgery. Perimenopausal women must be amenorrheic for at least 12 months prior to the time of providing informed consent to be considered of non-childbearing potential.
  • Agree to remain nicotine-free for the duration of their participation in the study

Exclusion

  • Multiple level spondylolistheses or a primary diagnosis of low back pain syndrome secondary to diseases other than degenerative spondylolisthesis
  • Concurrent medications that affect bone homeostasis including, but not limited to, bisphosphonates
  • Ongoing / existing infections in or around the surgical site or spine
  • Prior lumbar spine arthrodesis
  • Concurrent clinically significant autoimmune disorder or systemic inflammatory disease
  • Known hypersensitivity to recombinant Wnt proteins
  • Use of tobacco; subjects must be nicotine-free at screening and agree to remain nicotine free for the duration of the study
  • Use of medications that may impair cell proliferation and bone healing including: chemotherapy, radiation, chronic steroids and immunosuppressive drugs. Note: Medications that may impair cell proliferation are to be discussed with the protocol medical monitor prior to enrollment
  • Severe established osteoporosis requiring active treatment e.g., with bone density more than 2.5 standard deviations below the young adult mean with one or more osteoporotic fractures
  • A Body Mass index (BMI) ≥ 40 unless documentation clearly demonstrates why BMI is not a primary factor in the subject's decreased mobility
  • Chronic opioid use
  • History of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or blood clotting abnormalities
  • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
  • Pre-operative/anesthesia evaluations deeming the subject ineligible for surgery
  • Female subjects who are pregnant or intend to become pregnant during the course of the study
  • Male subjects, if not infertile or surgically sterilized, who will not agree to use highly-effective contraception or to not donate sperm from screening until at least 90 days after receiving IP
  • Active malignancy ≤5 years prior to providing informed consent. EXCEPTIONS: Non-melanotic skin cancer, carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix. NOTE: If there is a history of prior malignancy, the subject must not be receiving other specific treatment for their cancer.
  • Concurrent participation in another investigational drug, biologic or device study that could confound study data
  • Involvement in or plans to engage in litigation or receiving Worker's Compensation related to neck, back, or leg pain
