What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Numerical Rating Pain Scale (NRPS) Change in Patients

    To determine pain control rate (Percentage of patients in each arm that achieve pain control) at the treated site(s)at 1 month, 2-4 months and 5-6 months post-treatment and to validate of the movement-related pain score

    Measured: For 6 months post treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Reduction of Pain Estimate

    To estimate the relative quantitative reduction of pain from baseline in patients in each arm.

    Measured: For 1 year post treatment

  2. Quality of Life Estimate

    To estimate the quality of life using the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire

    Measured: For 1 year post treatment

  3. Feasibility Rate Estimation

    To estimate the feasibility rate of the study procedure (the percentage of patients in overall and each arm that complete the treatment).

    Measured: For 1 year post treatment

  4. Toxicity Rate Estimation

    To estimate the toxicities of the treatment

    Measured: For 1 year post treatment

  5. Vertebra Measurement

    To measure the dimensions of the treated vertebra(e) at 1 year

    Measured: For 1 year post treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stereotactic Radiation Therapy and SRT with Vertebral Augmentation Procedure in people with Vertebral Metastasis, run by University of Louisville 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 10 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Feb 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Numerical Rating Pain Scale (NRPS) Change in Patients (time frame: For 6 months post treatment). 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 5 Feb 2019.
