NCT04307914
The FURTHER study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of MR-HIFU (alone or in combination with EBRT) compared to EBRT alone, the standard-of-care, as a palliative treatment option to relieve CIBP. The FURTHER study consists of a multicenter, three-armed randomized controlled trial (FURTHER RCT) and a patient registry arm (FURTHER Registry), which will be performed in six hospitals in four European countries.
NCT06470503
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and acceptability of a structured, supervised exercise program combined with standard palliative radiotherapy for patients with painful non-spine bone metastases (NSBM).
NCT07202273
The goal of this study is to provide proof that patients can be treated with simulation-free, single-fraction palliative radiation therapy with a single in-person visit.
NCT01996046
This study will evaluate baseline uptake on a FDG PET/CT scan in patients with breast cancer that has spread to the bones. A repeat FDG PET/CT scan will be done 4 weeks after the start of new breast cancer hormone treatment and again at 12 weeks after treatment start. The baseline uptake and change in uptake after the repeat scans will be compared to clinical long term outcomes such as time to progression and overall survival. In addition the uptake will be compared to the incidence of skeletal related events that are common occurrences in patients with cancer that has spread to the bones.
NCT06987370
This is a randomized, controlled, prospective phase II, two-arm clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using either Spatially Fractionated Radiotherapy (SFRT) or Stereotactic Central Ablative Radiotherapy (SCART) for treating the soft tissue components of malignant bone metastases. The study plans to enroll 90 patients with bone metastases accompanied by soft tissue formation, who will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the SFRT/SCART group or the conventional radiotherapy (CRT) group.The primary endpoint is the objective response rate (ORR). Tumor response to treatment will be assessed every 12 weeks (±7 days) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). Secondary endpoints include pain relief rate, progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. In addition, adverse events (AEs) will be monitored throughout the study.
NCT06805396
Rationale: With improvements in systemic tumour-directed treatments for primary tumours, survival rates for patients with bone metastases are improving. However, individual illness trajectories become less predictable and more vulnerable to adverse events from treatments, negatively impacting a patient's quality of life (QoL). Palliative care is aimed at reducing symptoms and improving QoL for patients with incurable diseases through early identification, thorough assessment, and effective management of physical, psychological, social, and spiritual challenges. Early integration of specialist palliative care into oncology care has shown to reduce symptom burden and potentially inappropriate end-of-life care, and to enhance QoL, yet it is often initiated late. Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the satisfaction with care and QoL experienced by patients with bone metastases who are offered a consultation with the hospital palliative care consultation team (PCCT) when referred for palliative radiotherapy compared to patients who receive standard of care. Study design: A prospective, pragmatic, two-arm multicenter randomized controlled trial within the PRospective Evaluation of interventional StudiEs on boNe meTastases (PRESENT+) cohort that follows the Trials within Cohorts (TwiCs) design. Study population: Patients with bone metastases referred for palliative radiotherapy who have their treating physician in one of the participating centers and have not been in contact with the hospital PCCT before. Intervention: A consultation with the hospital PCCT within two weeks after inclusion in PRESENT+. In the standard of care control group, no consultation with the PCCT will be scheduled. They may have a consultation during follow-up if referring physicians may consider a consultation appropriate, or when patients themselves feel they want a referral. Main study parameters/endpoints: Satisfaction with care (affective behavior) four weeks after inclusion in PRESENT+.
NCT02637479
80% of palliative care cancer patients suffer from severe pain. The management of these pain improves the quality of life of these patients. The management of opioid pain refractory to date remains a difficulty for caregivers. Hypophysectomy performed to try to control hormone-dependent neoplasia also help relieve pain associated with lesions secondary cancer. The surgical hypophysialis radio Gamma Knife ® was recently performed on a small number of patients. She would have the advantage of reducing the risk of complications compared to other techniques and achieve similar analgesic effect on diffuse, or mixed nociceptive pain associated with metastases on average in 2 days and would reduce or stop opiates most often responsible for side effects impairing the quality of life. The objective of this clinical trial, multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled is to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical hypophysialis radio for patients in palliative situations with refractory cancer pain in opioid level III. The type of pain "cancer pain" was done in order to optimize the recruitment and homogenization of the study population: patients cared for in palliative care units are mostly patients cancer (70-80%). This study is therefore part of a palliative setting and the results of this test can be extrapolated to other populations of palliative patients with refractory pain.
NCT04310410
The PRE-FURTHER study aims to evaluate the feasibility of the combined treatment with radiotherapy and focussed ultrasound for pain palliation in patients with painful bone metastases, and to optimize the combined treatment logistics. Six to ten patients will be included according to in- and exclusion criteria.
NCT04630522
This is a randomized, open-label, dose-finding, multi-centre, phase Ⅰb study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JMT103 in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors.
NCT05881343
Over the last months, the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute in Bologna, Italy, has drained orthopedic urgencies from all other hospitals in the urban and suburban area. In this context urgencies are defined as fractures and primary or metastatic bone lesions with indication to non-deferrable surgery. A subset of these patients tested positive for SARS CoV 2, either before or after the surgical procedure. Anesthesiological clinical management of covid19 cases is complicated by the consequences of the viral infection on respiratory and cardio-vascular systems, renal function and coagulation. Similarly, management of asymptomatic patients is challenging because of the lack of data on possible specific complications. This study will report a snapshot of our early experience on perioperative clinical management of patients undergoing orthopedic surgery in the presence of SARS CoV 2 infection, ascertained or not at the time of surgery.
NCT00667199
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the investigational radioisotope Radium-223, Xofigo (Alpharadin), in treatment of men with prostate cancer and bone metastases that no longer respond to hormonal treatment.
NCT03223727
This registry aims to evaluate the efficacy of Rad-223 treatment in a non-study population of CRPC patients treated earlier with Docetaxel and patients not treated earlier with Docetaxel and efficacy of the first subsequent therapy. The indication for treatment with Radium-223 will be at the physician's decision. All patients treated with Radium-223 can be included in this registry. The registry only dictates the collection of base line characteristics, expansion of regular blood tests and patient reported pain scores.
NCT05808998
A single-center observational clinical trial will be performed for metastatic spinal tumors by stereotactic radiotherapy using TomoTherapy. In this study, we will explore the local control rate (LCR), disease-free progression time (PFS), overall survival time (OS), and pain relief in patients with spinal metastasis, so as to provide a basis for developing relevant guidelines or consensus.
NCT05381077
To assess the added value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the skeleton compared to other validated techniques for the detection of bone lesions in patients with multiple myeloma.
NCT02163226
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if 1 large dose of radiation therapy is better at controlling pain from cancer that has spread to the bones than 10 smaller doses of radiation. Researchers also want to learn if 1 large dose of radiation therapy can help decrease the use of drugs to control the pain, and if it can help to control the disease.
NCT02599142
Patients having radiotherapy to their head and neck wear an immobilisation shell to prevent patient movement and improve treatment accuracy. These shells tend to cover the face and have the potential to cause anxiety and distress in patients, particularly if they suffer with claustrophobia or a similar fear. The study will use an 'open-face' shell that does not cover the face and compare this with the investigators' current 'closed-face' shell. The investigators will obtain treatment verification x-ray images to assess the daily set-up errors and compare these between the two shell type, and ask both patients and radiographers of their experiences from using the shells. Hypothesis: Open-face immobilisation shells offer equivalent accuracy and efficiency of radiotherapy delivery and are better accepted by patients and radiographers as compared to closed-face immobilisation shells for cranial radiotherapy.
