New combo therapy aims to knock out bone metastasis pain

NCT ID NCT06859801

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is looking at whether combining two treatments — a minimally invasive procedure called percutaneous ablation and standard radiation therapy — can better relieve pain from bone cancer that has spread. Researchers will follow 120 people whose pain is not controlled by medication alone. The goal is to see how well the combo works in real-world settings, measuring pain levels, quality of life, and whether it reduces the need for hospital visits.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Percutaneous ablation (a minimally invasive procedure using heat or cold to destroy nerve and tumor tissue) and palliative radiation therapy (targeted X-rays to shrink tumors and relieve pain)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination approach could become a standard way to better control pain and reduce complications from bone metastases, improving quality of life for people with advanced cancer.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled experiment, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may vary widely among patients, and the procedures carry risks like infection, bleeding, or nerve damage.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * 1\. Skeletal metastasis with localized pain not controlled medically \[recall within last 24 hours of worst pain ≥ 5 using the BPI\] * 2\. Pain must be from one painful metastatic lesion involving the bone (additional less painful metastatic sites may be present). Extra-osseous extension of disease is allowed (must have some contact with the bone and be causing bone/tumor interface pain) * 3\. Lesions that are at high-risk of skeletal related events defined as follows: * a. Minimum Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS) score ≥ 7 for lesions involving the spine * b. Pelvic and appendicular lytic lesions with or without cortical breakthrough causing functional/mechanical pain * 4\. Target lesion amenable to percutaneous ablation with image guidance AND RT by specialists' review * 5\. No prior targeted radiation therapy or ablation to the index lesion * 6\. ECOG performance status 0-2 * 7\. Age ≥ 21 years * 8\. Have signed the current approved informed consent form * 9\. Willing and able to answer follow-up Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) surveys (e.g., PROMIS®, BPI, COST-FACIT, and OMED) for up to 12 months * 10\. Life expectancy \> 3 months Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Any medical or personal condition that, in the opinion of the site investigator, may potentially compromise the safety or compliance of the patient, or may preclude the patient's successful completion of the clinical trial. * 2\. Target tumor involves a weight-bearing long bone of the lower extremity with the tumor causing \> 50% loss of cortical bone \[MIREL Score ≥ 7\] * 3\. Skeletal lesions with unstable pathologic fractures requiring immediate surgical stabilization * 4\. Concurrent participation in other studies that could affect the primary endpoint * 5\. Target tumor causing clinical or imaging evidence of spinal cord compression
