About this study

Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a new technique to strengthen bone and reduce pain for patients with vertebral tumors

Read the detailed description

Destructive vertebral lesions are a common in metastatic disease, multiple myeloma and lymphoma. Symptoms are caused by pathologic fracture consequences secondary to vertebral destruction, development of spinal instability and compression of adjacent neurological elements. Nonoperative treatments include radiotherapy, hormone therapy, cytotoxic drugs which are effective to halt the osteolytic process and reverse the neurological compromise, however; they cannot provide stability or relieve pain or cord compression. Surgical management options including vertebrectomy, reconstruction with a cage or PMMA bone cement, and stabilization with pedicle screws can restore spinal canal support and neurological functions also control pain, however; usually associated with high postoperative morbidity and mortality. Also not advisable for multifocal spinal disease. Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a new technique to strengthen bone and reduce pain. It is percutaneous, minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that involves injection of radio-opaque bone cement into a partially collapsed vertebral body, in an effort to provide stability and pain relief. The exact mechanism of pain relief remains unclear. Proposed theories include more favourable biomechanics after cement strengthening, chemical toxicity and exothermic effect of cement polymerization on nerve endings.

What is being measured

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

  1. pain relief

    reduction of spine pain following the injection of bone cement in the tumor according to Numeric Rating Scale, Improvement will be considered if NRS score decrease ≧ 20% after PVP

    Measured: immediate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone Tumor, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2018. 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact mustafa saed, MSc (01118894427, msaed9939@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pain relief (time frame: immediate). 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 NCT03427632, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 9 Feb 2018.
