Study summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether zoledronic acid-loaded bone cement (4mg ZOL+ gentamicin PMMA ) as adjuvant method can decrease local recurrence in patients with giant cell bone tumor following intralesional curettage surgery. The hypothesis is that patients with local administration of zoledronic acid to the bone cement has lower relapse rate compared those with traditional bone cement(gentamicin PMMA ).

Read the detailed description

The purpose of the clinical study is to investigate whether the local delivery of zoledronic acid (4mg ZOL-loaded gentamicin PMMA bone cement) as a surgical adjuvant can decrease the local recurrence rate of giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone. The investigators will also evaluate whether patients with zoledronic acid as a surgical adjuvant improves secondary outcomes, including function (MSTS and TESS), surgery related complications (henderson's failure mode) and ZOL-related complications.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • patients with primary resectable GCT of bone
  • lesion amenable to reconstruction (intralesional curettage) defined as having at least one intact column of bone after removal
  • no previous systemic bisphosphonate or denosumab therapy
  • with expected longer than 18 months of survival time
  • sign the form

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • patients with recurrent GCT or extensive GCT which is impossible or inappropriate to use curettage surgery due to its "unresectable" nature.
  • conduct unexpected surgery at other center
  • the primary goal for surgery is revision
  • patient conduct en-bloc/wide resection instead of curettage surgery
  • patient can not conduct self-assessment during follow up
  • difficulty in complete postoperative follow-up
  • previous use of bisphosphonate/ZOL or denosumab drug
  • patients have participated in similar research projects
  • refused to sign
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Zoledronic Acid loaded bone cement

    4mg zoledronic acid-loaded gentamicin bone cement (PMMA)

    Procedure: 4mg ZOL loaded gentamicin PMMA

  • Active comparator
    conventional gentamicin bone cement

    gentamicin bone cement (PMMA)

    Procedure: gentamicin PMMA

Interventions

  • Procedure4mg ZOL loaded gentamicin PMMA

    During surgery, 4mg ZOL will be mixed with gentamicin (1000mg) PMMA cement (40g) by surgeon under sterile conditions to prepare ZOL loaded bone cement, and then it will be filled into the bony defects of the patient where the lesion has been removed after intralesional curettage.

  • Proceduregentamicin PMMA

    During surgery, gentamicin (1000mg) PMMA (40g) was prepared by surgeon under sterile conditions and will be filled into the bony defects of the patient where the lesion has been removed after intralesional curettage.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. time to first local recurrence

    Time to first local recurrence will be reported during postoperative 18-month follow up period

    Time frame: All patients will be followed for this endpoint until 18 months postoperatively

Secondary outcomes

  1. MSTS score

    The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scoring system is a disease-specific instrument to determine the physical and mental health for patients underwent limb-salvage surgery after tumor resection and is a validated and well-accepted functional scoring system used in orthopaedic oncology research

    Time frame: Doctors will be responsible in filling this questionnaire 3 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months postoperatively during patients' follow up

  2. TESS score

    The Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS) is a physical disability measure developed specifically for patients undergoing surgery for extremity tumours and has been shown to have superior measurement properties compared with other commonly used sc

    Time frame: Patients will be asked to fill this survey 3 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months postoperatively

  3. postoperative complication

    Including wound healing problem, mechanical failure, infection and any tumor progression issues

    Time frame: Patients will be asked to report any complication 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months postoperatively during follow up

  4. Potential ZOL-related complications

    Patients will be followed for atypical bone fractures and avascular necrosis (AVN) of jaw, one of the most severe complication of ZOL

    Time frame: Patients will be followed to report any complication 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months postoperatively.
