Trial summary

Patients with symptomatic spinal metatstasis will be prosepectively included in a database after theu signes informed consent. Minimally six months after inclusion the survival status is analyzed. These are correlated with factors that are used in an earlier develloped prediction model Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prognostic Evaluation of Prediction Model Survival Spinal Epidural Metastases

Patients with symptomatic spinal metatstasis will be prosepectively included in a database after theu signes informed consent. Minimally six months after inclusion the survival status is analyzed. These are correlated with factors that are used in an earlier develloped prediction model

Read the detailed description

The prediction model is web-based and used five parameters: Karnofsky performance score (KPS) (in case of sudden (<24 hours) deterioration the score was used just before the deterioration), the curative intention to treat the primary, the spinal level of the symptomatic tumor, histopathology of the metastasis, and sex. These parameters will be recorded in addition to baseline characteristics. The date of presentation will be recorded. Four months after inclusion of the last patient survival status of all patients will scored. If applicable the date of death will be noted.

Patients are eligible if they suffer from a symptomatic epidural spinal metastatic lesion warranting therapy, either radiation therapy or a combination of surgery and radiation therapy. The nature of the lesion should be verified by pathological examination. In case of an active primary that has recently been diagnosed (less than one year previous to presentation of spinal lesion), the metastatic lesion is considered to be related to this primary. However, if the patient has more than one primary in the history, pathological verification of the tissue is obligatory.

After the patients provided informed consent of using their data for scientific use including the publication of the results, they will be included. The data will be collected, and electronically and anonymized stored. Patients will be included during three successive years. It is estimated that approximately 450 patients can be included. Two centers will participate, Radboud University Medical Center and Haaglanden Medical Center.

Statistical analysis The Cox model will be validated as described earlier 4, first graphically the predictive ability will be plotted, whereas next it will be quantitatively expressed as Harrel's c-index and the Royston -Sauerbrei D-statistic, Rd2. The calibration slope is also calculated. A sample of one third of all patients will be used for validation purpose. If needed the model is adapted. Then the validation is performed using the data of all patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Predictive Cancer Model, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 1 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 13 May 2024. 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 Netherlands. 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?

survival after diagnosis of spinal metastasis (time frame: minimal 6 months after inclusion). 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 13 May 2024.
