Trial Outcomes & Findings for OsteoCool Tumor Ablation Post-Market Study (NCT NCT03249584)

NCT ID: NCT03249584

Last Updated: 2021-10-01

Results Overview

Demonstrate an improvement of worst pain score (WPS) at the target treatment site in the previous 24 hours for subjects with metastatic lesions in only the thoracic and/or lumbar vertebral body(ies) as collected using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). The WPS is a single question from the BPI (scored from 0-10; 0=NO PAIN and 10=PAIN AS BAD AS YOU CAN IMAGINE). Lower scores indicate less pain.

Participant Flow

At the time of the primary objective assessment (Apr 2019), 106 subjects were enrolled. Enrollment ended Feb 2020 with 218 total subjects which allowed for assessment of secondary objective and long-term effectiveness and safety.

12 of 218 subjects exited prior to RF Ablation (RFA) due to failing in/exclusion criteria, withdrawal of consent, etc. 206 total subjects underwent a single OsteoCool™ RFA procedure. For effectiveness, subjects were separated into 2 study Groups (Thoracic/Lumbar and Periacetabulum/Iliac Crest/Sacrum) based on the location of each subject's ablation(s); subjects were combined for safety.

Measure
OsteoCool™ RF Ablation in Thoracic/Lumbar Spine
Subjects underwent a single OsteoCool™ RF Ablation procedure. All ablations were in the Thoracic/Lumbar Spine.
OsteoCool™ RF Ablation in Periacetabulum/Iliac Crest/Sacrum
Subjects underwent a single OsteoCool™ RF Ablation procedure. At least one ablation was in the Periacetabulum/Iliac Crest/Sacrum. Some subjects also had RF Ablation in the Thoracic/Lumbar in the same procedure.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From Baseline to 3 months post RF ablation

Demonstrate an improvement of worst pain score (WPS) at the target treatment site in the previous 24 hours for subjects with metastatic lesions in only the thoracic and/or lumbar vertebral body(ies) as collected using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). The WPS is a single question from the BPI (scored from 0-10; 0=NO PAIN and 10=PAIN AS BAD AS YOU CAN IMAGINE). Lower scores indicate less pain.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From Baseline to 3 months post RF ablation

Characterize change in worst pain score (WPS) at the target treatment site in the previous 24 hours for subjects with metastatic lesions in the periacetabulum, iliac crest, and/or sacrum as collected using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Some subjects also had an additional thoracic/lumbar ablation. The WPS is a single question from the BPI (scored from 0-10; 0=NO PAIN and 10=PAIN AS BAD AS YOU CAN IMAGINE). Lower scores indicate less pain. The secondary outcome is based on a mutually exclusive cohort of study subjects as compared to the primary outcome.

Subjects underwent a single OsteoCool™ RF Ablation procedure. OsteoCool™ RF Ablation: The OsteoCool™ RF Ablation system is indicated in the United States (US), Europe (EUR) and Canada (CAN) for patients with metastatic malignant lesions in a vertebral body, painful metastatic lesions involving bone (in the US, patients with metastatic lesions involving the bone must have failed or were not candidates for standard therapy) and benign bone tumors such as osteoid osteomas.
