Overview

The objective of this study is to evaluate real-world outcomes (e.g., pain, patient reported outcomes, skeletal related events, healthcare utilization, etc.) in patients treated with both percutaneous ablation and palliative radiation therapy (RT).

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 1\. Skeletal metastasis with localized pain not controlled medically \[recall within last 24 hours of worst pain ≥ 5 using the BPI\]
  • 2\. Pain must be from one painful metastatic lesion involving the bone (additional less painful metastatic sites may be present). Extra-osseous extension of disease is allowed (must have some contact with the bone and be causing bone/tumor interface pain)
  • 3\. Lesions that are at high-risk of skeletal related events defined as follows:
  • a. Minimum Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS) score ≥ 7 for lesions involving the spine
  • b. Pelvic and appendicular lytic lesions with or without cortical breakthrough causing functional/mechanical pain
  • 4\. Target lesion amenable to percutaneous ablation with image guidance AND RT by specialists' review
  • 5\. No prior targeted radiation therapy or ablation to the index lesion
  • 6\. ECOG performance status 0-2
  • 7\. Age ≥ 21 years
  • 8\. Have signed the current approved informed consent form
  • 9\. Willing and able to answer follow-up Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) surveys (e.g., PROMIS®, BPI, COST-FACIT, and OMED) for up to 12 months
  • 10\. Life expectancy \> 3 months

Exclusion Criteria:

  • 1\. Any medical or personal condition that, in the opinion of the site investigator, may potentially compromise the safety or compliance of the patient, or may preclude the patient's successful completion of the clinical trial.
  • 2\. Target tumor involves a weight-bearing long bone of the lower extremity with the tumor causing \> 50% loss of cortical bone \[MIREL Score ≥ 7\]
  • 3\. Skeletal lesions with unstable pathologic fractures requiring immediate surgical stabilization
  • 4\. Concurrent participation in other studies that could affect the primary endpoint
  • 5\. Target tumor causing clinical or imaging evidence of spinal cord compression

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
