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 Up to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: From January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2023, patients with pulmonary metastasis of osteosarcoma complicated with BPLF who underwent interventional treatment in the hospital were enrolled.

Who may be able to join

  • The patient was diagnosed with osteosarcoma by histology or cytology, and pulmonary metastasis with bronchopleural fistula (BPF) was confirmed by imaging (CT/PET-CT);
  • Present with clinical symptoms associated with BPF (e.g., hemoptysis, pneumothorax, persistent pleural infection, etc.) that are ineffective or poorly responded to traditional treatments (pharmacologic hemostasis, closed thoracic drainage);
  • Angiographically confirmed abnormal bronchial or intercostal artery blood supply to the fistula and anatomy suitable for NBCA with coil embolization;
  • Age ≤75 years, ECOG performance status ≤2, and predicted survival ≥3 months.
  • Coagulation function was basically normal.

Who cannot join

  • Had a history of severe allergy or contraindication to NBCA glue, iodine contrast agent or coil materials;
  • Severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction (e.g., NYHA class III-IV, FEV1 < 30% predicted, uncontrolled pulmonary hypertension);
  • Angiographic abnormalities of the target vessel anatomy (e.g., severe tortuosity, stenosis, or occlusion) prevented the catheter from safely reaching the target embolization site;
  • Active systemic infection (e.g., sepsis, active tuberculosis) or uncontrolled local infection;
  • Other major organ failure (Child-Pugh C cirrhosis, eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73m²);
  • Women who are pregnant or lactating or plan to become pregnant during the study.

About this study

Official title: A Retrospective Study on the Efficacy of Interventional Treatment for Bronchopleural Fistula Related to Pulmonary Metastasis of Osteosarcoma

Patients with pulmonary metastasis of osteosarcoma complicated with BPF often suffer from massive hemoptysis, refractory pneumothorax and difficult fistula healing due to tumor erosion of bronchial arteries. Traditional interventional embolization (such as simple coil or gelatin sponge embolization) has some limitations such as embolic material displacement, incomplete fistula closure and postoperative recurrent bleeding. Systemic chemotherapy and radiotherapy also have poor efficacy due to the complex blood supply of local lesions and poor tissue repair ability, and the quality of life of patients is seriously impaired. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore a safer and durable precise embolization scheme.

NBCA combined with coil closure is expected to break through the current technical bottleneck through the synergistic mechanism of "colloid embolization + mechanical occlusion". NBCA glue can quickly polymerize to achieve permanent occlusion of the micro vascular network, while the coil can strengthen the fistula through physical support. The combination of the two can not only accurately block abnormal blood supply, promote fistula healing, but also reduce the risk of embolus displacement and hemoptysis recurrence rate. This study is the first to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of this combination regimen in such patients, and provide key evidence for optimizing the embolization strategy and improving the long-term prognosis.

The clinical transformation value and social significance of this study are significant. If NBCA combined with coil is proved to be effective in controlling bleeding, shortening fistula closure time and reducing complications, it will promote this technology to become the first choice for advanced osteosarcoma pulmonary metastasis with complex fistula. Its minimally invasive and repeatability can help to reduce the frequency of repeated hospitalization and the risk of infection, save medical resources, and provide new ideas for the exploration of multimodal embolization techniques in interventional medicine, which has a profound impact on improving the quality of life of patients with end-stage cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. OS,Overall Survival

    The patient received treatment until death.

    Measured: From the time of treatment to the death from any cause, assessed up to 50 months.

  2. PFS,Progress Free Survival

    Time of progression or death of the patient.

    Measured: From the time of treatment to tumor progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 50 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteosarcoma Metastatic, run by Ruijin Hospital.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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 Zhongmin Wang (+8613901848333, wzm11896@rjh.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

OS,Overall Survival (time frame: From the time of treatment to the death from any cause, assessed up to 50 months.). 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 15 Apr 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
