About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study of Conventional Bone Marrow Biopsies and Bone Marrow Biopsies Performed Through the Portomar(TM), Using a Modified PROMIS Pain Intensity Scale for Pain Assessment

This is a self-controlled, prospective trial. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Portomar(TM) device for bone marrow biopsy.

Read the detailed description

This is a self-controlled, prospective trial. Subjects will undergo conventional bone marrow biopsy compared to bone marrow biopsy with the Portomar(TM) device. Subjects will be evaluated at multiple time points comparing the two biopsies. Data through the 6 month time point will be used for Regulatory Submission to the FDA. Additionally subjects will be followed for two years post enrollment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain intensity

    Pain Comparison- The scale used to assess pain is a modified National Cancer Institute (NCI) Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS). Patients are asked to rate their pain intensity from 0 (no pain)-10 (worst pain ever) comparing the bone marrow biopsy performed with the Portomar(TM) device and a standard bone marrow biopsy. The endpoint will be the proportion of patients experiencing at least a 2 point improvement in score between Portomar(TM) and standard biopsy.

    Measured: Day of bone marrow biopsy (approximately 1 month after Portomar(TM) placement)

  2. Portomar(TM) pain intensity

    Pain related to Portomar(TM) will be assessed using the same modified NCI PROMIS Scale. The endpoint is the proportion of patients experiencing severe pain (>8).

    Measured: Day of placement (beginning of study)

  3. Portomar(TM) pain intensity

    Pain related to Portomar(TM) will be assessed using the same modified NCI PROMIS

    Measured: 1 day after study begins with Portomar(TM) placement

  4. Portomar(TM) pain intensity

    Pain related to Portomar(TM) will be assessed using the same modified NCI PROMIS

    Measured: 2 days after study begins with Portomar(TM) placement

  5. Portomar(TM) pain intensity

    Pain related to Portomar(TM) will be assessed using the same modified NCI PROMIS

    Measured: 7 days after study begins with Portomar(TM) placement

  6. Portomar(TM) pain intensity

    Pain related to Portomar(TM) will be assessed using the same modified NCI PROMIS

    Measured: 14 days after study begins with Portomar(TM) placement

  7. Portomar(TM) pain intensity

    Pain related to Portomar(TM) will be assessed using the same modified NCI PROMIS

    Measured: 30 days after study begins with Portomar(TM) placement

  8. Portomar(TM) pain intensity

    Pain related to Portomar(TM) will be assessed using the same modified NCI PROMIS

    Measured: 90 days after study begins with Portomar(TM) placement

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Safety Events

    Adverse events

    Measured: Study duration, approximately 2 years

  2. Satisfaction Score

    Patient and practitioner satisfaction questionnaires

    Measured: Day of placement and every time a bone marrow biopsy is performed using the Portomar(TM) device for study duration approximately 2 years

  3. Pain Score

    Pain from Portomar(TM) and bone marrow biopsies. The modified PROMIS scale 0-10 will be used.

    Measured: Study duration (approximately 2 years) at all bone marrow biopsies with Portomar(TM)

  4. Specimen-Core Biopsy

    Adequacy. This will be judged by the proportion of biopsies at least 1.2 cm length.

    Measured: Study duration (approximately 2 years) at all bone marrow biopsied performed with Portomar(TM)

  5. Specimen-Aspirate

    Adequacy This will be judged by the proportion of aspirations with at least 1 spicule seen.

    Measured: Study duration (approximately 2 years) at all bone marrow biopsied performed with Portomar(TM)

  6. Time

    Time from needle anesthetic to sample acquired. Comparison of conventional vs. Portomar(TM).

    Measured: Study duration (approximately 2 years) at all bone marrow biopsied performed with Portomar(TM)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Portomar(TM) Device in people with Hematologic Malignancy, run by Aperture Medical Technology, LLC 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 4 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact S Solomon (6468663882, info@aperturemed.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain intensity (time frame: Day of bone marrow biopsy (approximately 1 month after Portomar(TM) placement)). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Apr 2024.
