About this study

The goal of this observational study is to assess the oncological outcomes in patients diagnosed with grade 2 chondrosarcoma, treated with intralesional curettage, stratified into two cohorts: those subjected to follow up monitoring and those who have undergone subsequent surgical intervention.

Read the detailed description

Large resection of the tumor is considered the treatment of choice in patients affected by grade 2 chondrosarcoma. Nonetheless, a preoperative diagnosis of a lower grade lesion (ChS grade 1) is not infrequent, thus making these patients treated with intralesional curettage. Intralesional curettage is a type of surgery in which the pathological component is removed from the affected bone and the resulting bone defects can be filled with bone substitutes or bone cement. Bone cortexes are left in place like a shell.

The results of this study could contribute to find the right therapeutic pathway in patients affected by grade 2 chondrosarcoma treated with intralesional curettage, in particular in patients who underwent further surgery (bone resection) or follow-up. Since outcome data are scarce in the literature, the results of this study could be used to assess the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial with the correct sample size.

It is an explorative, spontaneous, non-profit, retrospective, observational study.

It involves the pseudonymous data collection of all patients matching inclusion criteria. The data recorded in this study are extracted from the medical records of patients who regularly seek care from the medical unit during their routine clinical visits. Following a meticulous collection of patients' baseline data, the two therapeutic options (clinical monitoring or bone resection) in patients affected by grade 2 chondrosarcoma treated with intralesional curettage will be compared.

Data related to demographics, histologic and treatment data will be collected. Oncologic follow-up data will be also collected. In particular, data related to local recurrences, distant metastasis and survival will be evaluated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chondrosarcoma, Grade 2, run by IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 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 4 Dec 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 Italy. 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?

Tumor recurrence(%) (time frame: 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years). The study lists 2 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 4 Dec 2024.
