Trial summary

Primitive malignant bone tumor or mixt tumor (compounded of soft tissues and bone) is a rare pathology particularly within the pelvis, the sacrum or the hip (between 25 and 80 new cases in France per year). The reference treatment is a surgical "en bloc" resection associated or not to a medical treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Primitive malignant bone tumor or mixt tumor (compounded of soft tissues and bone) is a rare pathology particularly within the pelvis, the sacrum or the hip (between 25 and 80 new cases in France per year).

The reference treatment is a surgical "en bloc" resection associated or not to a medical treatment. This surgery remains highly challenging because of the complex three-dimensional geometry of the pelvic bone and the proximity of important organs and neurovascular structures. The local recurrence rate is significantly increased when the resection does not respect a safe tissues margin (R0 margin).

A new technology has been developed and used in different reference sites the Patient Specific Instrument (PSI), manufactured by 3D-Side. The PSI allows for a more secure and reliable surgical gesture, leading to more frequent R0 margins.

The main objective of this study is to compare the efficiency of the PSI for bone tumor resections within the pelvis with respect to the reference method.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Patient specific instrumentDevice

    Also called PSI-T, 3D-Side

    The proposed innovation consists in using patient specific instrument (PSI) for tumor resection. It is compounded of a preoperative assistance to plan the surgery and an intraoperative assistance to reproduce the preoperative planning.

  • Conventional surgical treatmentProcedure or surgery

    The conventional treatment is planned on two-dimensional images (CT and MRI).

What is being measured

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

  1. ICER between the innovation treatment group and the reference treatment group.

    Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) as assessed from the healthcare system perspective: Cost/Local prevented recurrence at 3 years postoperatively

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. R0, R1 and R2 margin rates

    R0, R1 and R2 margin rates as observed by histological exam for each surgical treatment, for each treatment group.

    Measured: Within 3 years after surgery

  2. Rate and nature of adverse events related to surgery for each treatment group

    Measured: Per-operatively and within 3 years after surgery

  3. Quality Of Life (QOL) of patients treated by PSI (prospective group)

    Euroqol questionnaire score

    Measured: 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 months

  4. Indirect estimations of means of Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) of patients treated by the reference treatment (retrospective group) extrapolated from QOL of patients treated by PSI (prospective group)

    QALYs measures for this group will be extrapolated from the prospective group by estimating the impact of a local recurrence on health-related quality of life.

    Measured: 3 years

  5. MSTS score

    Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) Score which evaluates 6 items: pain, function, emotional acceptance, walking capacity, technical walking aids, gait.

    Measured: 12 and 36 months

  6. TESS Score

    Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS) which evaluates 30 items about the global function and patient's activity level.

    Measured: 12 and 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Patient specific instrument and Conventional surgical treatment in people with Sarcoma, Bone Tumor, run by Nantes University Hospital at 8 sites in France.

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 13 inclusion and 9 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 28 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in France. 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?

ICER between the innovation treatment group and the reference treatment group. (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 28 Jul 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
