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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests a procedure that uses radiofrequency heat to destroy spine tumors, followed by bone cement to stabilize the spine. Sixteen people with cancer that has spread to the spine will receive the treatment. The goal is to see if the tumors become less active on PET scans and if patients feel less pain.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
radiofrequency ablation device (Osteocool-Medtronic)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a way to reduce pain and control tumor growth in the spine without open surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 16 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure carries risks like infection or nerve damage.
