Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have a histologically confirmed malignancy from prior biopsy of the primary tumor or a metastatic site. Patients with carcinoma, myeloma, and lymphoma may be included in the study. Patients should have metastatic involvement of the periacetabular region that is visible radiographically. Biopsy of acetabular disease is not required for this study.
  • Age ≥18 years (Illuminoss is approved only for skeletally mature patients)
  • Suitable candidate for general anesthesia
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Able and willing to fill out pre-operative and post-operative functional outcome surveys
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mcL
  • Platelets ≥ 50,000/mcL

Who cannot join

  • Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness (e.g., recent pneumonia or myocardial infarction that would significantly increase risk of general anesthesia)
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial.
  • Patients with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because of the risk of general anesthesia and radiation exposure (fluoroscopy) to the fetus
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to dental resins or PET.

About this study

Determine whether patients exhibit early functional improvement after minimally-invasive placement of Illuminoss photodynamic nails for peri-acetabular pelvic metastasis at 3 months following procedure

Read the detailed description

Primary Objectives

  1. Evaluate whether patients exhibit early functional improvement after minimally-invasive placement of Illuminoss photodynamic nails for peri-acetabular pelvic metastasis at 3 months following procedure

Secondary Objectives

  1. Evaluate whether the procedure relieves pain
  2. Evaluate radiographic stability of the implant
  3. Evaluate functional outcome at earlier time points (2 weeks or 6 weeks) and at 6 months and possibly later time points
  4. Evaluate reoperation rate and complications
Being tested
Photodynamic nails

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Photodynamic nails in people with Pelvic Metastasis, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 7 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 2026. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Patrick Lin, MD ((713) 745-0088, plin@mdanderson.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Adverse Events, Graded According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version (v) 5.0 (time frame: Through study completion, up to one year). 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 12 Aug 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
