About this study

Official title: a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing a Powered Bone Marrow Biopsy Device With a Manual System

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic usefulness (yes/no) of biopsy cylinder

    The bone marrow biopsy cylinder is assessed by a pathologist who rates either "diagnostic" or "non diagnostic"

    Measured: within 1 week of biopsy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. patient pain during procedure

    patients underdoing biopsy rate the pain during, 15 min after and 3-5 days after the proceedure

    Measured: day 1 (two time points) and day 3-5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Bone Marrow Biopsy, run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 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 Switzerland. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Diagnostic usefulness (yes/no) of biopsy cylinder (time frame: within 1 week of biopsy). 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 17 Feb 2012.
