InSightec

Conditions:

Bone Metastasis

Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Phase:

NA

Brief Summary

The study hypotheses is that the proportion of patients experiencing clinically significant pain relief will be at least 30% greater than the proportion experiencing worsening pain.

Detailed Description

As part of the PMA # P110039 review process and approval, InSightec was requested to conduct a post-approval study. Patients will be treated following the approved commercial treatment guidelines. Fo...

  • those for whom their treating physician would not prescribe radiation or additional radiation treatments
  • patients who refuse additional radiation therapy.
  • Patient with NRS (0-10 scale) pain score ≥ 4 irrespective of medication
  • Targeted bone/tumor interface are ExAblate device accessible and are located in ribs, extremities (excluding joints), pelvis, shoulders and in the posterior aspects of the following spinal vertebra: Lumbar vertebra (L3 - L5), Sacral vertebra (S1 - S5)
  • Targeted bone/tumor interface (most painful lesion) size up to 55 cm2 in surface area
  • Patient whose targeted (treated) lesion is on bone and the interface between the bone and lesion is deeper than 10-mm from the skin.
  • Targeted (treated) tumor clearly visible by non-contrast MRI, and ExAblate MRgFUS device accessible
  • Able to communicate sensations during the ExAblate treatment
  • Patients on ongoing chemotherapy regimen at the time of eligibility:
  • with same chemotherapy regime (as documented from patient medical dossier), And
  • Worst pain NRS still ≥ 4 And
  • do NOT plan to initiate a new chemotherapy for pain palliation should be eligible for the study.
  • Note: Planned multiple courses of chemotherapy are not considered New Chemotherapy.
  • No radiation therapy to targeted (most painful) lesion in the past two weeks Bisphosphonate intake should remain stable throughout the study duration.
  • Patients will have from 1 to 5 painful lesions and only the most painful lesion will be treated.
  • Patients with persistent distinguishable pain associated with 1 site to be treated (if patient has pain from additional sites, the pain from the additional sites must be evaluated as being less intense by at least 2 points on the NRS compared to the site to be treated).

Exclusion

  • Patients who either
  • Need surgical stabilization of the affected bony structure (\>7 fracture risk score, see Section 7.4) OR
  • Targeted tumor is at an impending fracture site (\>7 on fracture risk score, see Section 7.4).
  • OR
  • Patients with surgical stabilization of tumor site with metallic hardware
  • More than 5 painful lesions, or more than 1 requiring immediate localized treatment
  • Targeted (treated) tumor is in the skull
  • Patients on dialysis
  • Patients with life expectancy \< 3-Months
  • Patients with an acute medical condition (e.g., pneumonia, sepsis) that is expected to hinder them from completing this study.
  • Patients with unstable cardiac status including:
  • Unstable angina pectoris on medication
  • Patients with documented myocardial infarction within six months of protocol entry
  • Congestive heart failure requiring medication (other than diuretic)
  • Patients on anti-arrhythmic drugs
  • Severe hypertension (diastolic BP \> 100 on medication)
  • Patients with standard contraindications for MR imaging such as non-MRI compatible implanted metallic devices including cardiac pacemakers, size limitations, etc.
  • Patients with an active infection or severe hematological, neurological, or other uncontrolled disease.
  • Known intolerance or allergies to the MRI contrast agent (e.g. Gadolinium or Magnevist) including advanced kidney disease
  • KPS Score \< 60 (See "Definitions" below)
  • Severe cerebrovascular disease (multiple CVA or CVA within 6 months)
  • Individuals who are not able or willing to tolerate the required prolonged stationary position during treatment (approximately 2 hrs.)
  • Target (treated) tumor is less then 1cm from nerve bundles, bowels or bladder.
  • Are participating or have participated in another clinical trial in the last 30 days
  • Patients initiating a new chemotherapy regime for pain purposes only, or radiation (for the targeted most painful lesion) within the last 2 weeks Note: Planned multiple courses of chemotherapy are not considered New Chemotherapy.
  • Patients unable to communicate with the investigator and staff.
  • Patients with persistent undistinguishable pain (pain source unidentifiable of the targeted lesion)
  • Patient whose bone-lesion interface is \< 10-mm from the skin
  • Targeted (most painful) tumor NOT visible by non-contrast MRI,
  • Targeted (most painful) tumor Not accessible to ExAblate
  • The targeted tumor is less than 2 points more painful compared to other painful lesions on the site specific NRS.
