About this study

The objective of the clinical trial is to evaluate the SPACE 360 Delivery System using SPACE CpsXL Bone Cement compared to standard vertebroplasty in the treatment of pathological fractures of the spine caused by metastatic tumors of the spine, myeloma, or lymphoma. Up to a total of three levels per patient may be included or five levels for multiple myeloma. The control group will be standard vertebroplasty.

Read the detailed description

The primary endpoint is cement leakage as determined radiographically (CT). will be cement leakage measured by CT. Secondary endpoints are reduction of pain (VAS) and quality of life measurements (Oswestry disability index).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SPACE CpsXL Bone Cement and SPACE 360 Delivery System and standard vertebroplasty in people with Spinal Fractures, run by University of California, Davis at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 29 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary endpoint is cement leakage as determined radiographically (CT). will be cement leakage measured by CT. (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Sep 2012.
