About this study

Official title: OsteoCool Tumor Ablation Post-Market Study (OPuS One)

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Medtronic OsteoCool™ RF Ablation System.

Read the detailed description

The OsteoCool™ RF Ablation system has 510k regulatory clearance in the United States, Conformité Européene (CE) mark in Europe, and Health Canada Licence in Canada. The goal of this study is to collect real-world outcomes among a cohort of patients in the US, EUR and CAN with metastatic malignant lesions in a vertebral body, painful metastatic lesions involving bone (in the US, patients with metastatic lesions involving the bone must have failed or were not candidates for standard therapy), and benign bone tumors such as osteoid osteoma who receive treatment with the OsteoCool™ RF Ablation system. Additionally, the study will collect device, procedure and/or therapy related adverse events and device deficiencies. Lastly, subject outcomes (such as pain relief, quality of life, and function) will be evaluated using validated assessment measures.

What participants receive

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

  • OsteoCool™ RF AblationDevice

    The OsteoCool™ RF Ablation system is indicated in the United States (US), Europe (EUR) and Canada (CAN) for patients with metastatic malignant lesions in a vertebral body, painful metastatic lesions involving bone (in the US, patients with metastatic lesions involving the bone must have failed or were not candidates for standard therapy) and benign bone tumors such as osteoid osteomas.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of Worst Pain Score: Thoracic/Lumbar Spine RF Ablation

    Demonstrate an improvement of worst pain score (WPS) at the target treatment site in the previous 24 hours for subjects with metastatic lesions in only the thoracic and/or lumbar vertebral body(ies) as collected using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). The WPS is a single question from the BPI (scored from 0-10; 0=NO PAIN and 10=PAIN AS BAD AS YOU CAN IMAGINE). Lower scores indicate less pain.

    Measured: From Baseline to 3 months post RF ablation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Worst Pain Score: Periacetabulum, Iliac Crest, and/or Sacrum RF Ablation

    Characterize change in worst pain score (WPS) at the target treatment site in the previous 24 hours for subjects with metastatic lesions in the periacetabulum, iliac crest, and/or sacrum as collected using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Some subjects also had an additional thoracic/lumbar ablation. The WPS is a single question from the BPI (scored from 0-10; 0=NO PAIN and 10=PAIN AS BAD AS YOU CAN IMAGINE). Lower scores indicate less pain.

    The secondary outcome is based on a mutually exclusive cohort of study subjects as compared to the primary outcome.

    Measured: From Baseline to 3 months post RF ablation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing OsteoCool™ RF Ablation in people with Metastasis Spine and Metastasis to Bone, run by MedtronicNeuro at 16 sites in 5 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 11 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 1 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in United States, Canada, France, Germany, Luxembourg. 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 7 Jul 2020). 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?

Change of Worst Pain Score: Thoracic/Lumbar Spine RF Ablation (time frame: From Baseline to 3 months post RF ablation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03249584, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Oct 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
