Study summary

This prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled study aims to assess the efficacy of utilizing 3D printed models in preoperative planning for the excision of tumors involving bony structures within the body. The study is expected to last approximately 12 months and involve up to 150 subjects across up to 5 sites. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into either the experimental arm, utilizing 3D printed models and imaging, or the active comparator arm, using only imaging.

Primary endpoint: Operative time of surgical procedure.

Secondary endpoints: Reduction of blood loss, proportion of postoperative adverse events, and negative tumor margins.

Exploratory endpoints: Surgical planning ease, changes in surgical plan, and surgeon satisfaction.

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

  1. Subjects must be at least 13 years of age.
  2. Subjects must have the ability to provide written .
  3. Subjects must have tumor(s) invading bone and requiring surgical excision including but not limited to craniomaxillofacial, spine, long bone, and pelvis.
  4. Subjects must be willing to have quality cross-sectional imaging that will allow for use to develop a 3D printed model.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Pregnant or nursing women.
  2. Subjects that have a serious systemic pathology.
  3. Subjects that have clotting disorders.
  4. Subjects that have uncontrolled hypertension.
  5. Subjects that are -positive.
  6. Subjects that are unable to be randomized; i.e surgical team prefers to use either 3D model or standard cross-sectional imaging for surgical pre-planning.
  7. Subject anatomy has changed substantially since the date medical imaging from which the model is derived was obtained (as applicable).
  8. Subject is a poor surgical or poor study candidate which may include, any medical, social or psychological problem that could complicate the procedure.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Operative time

    Operative time of surgical procedure based on incision and closure time

    Time frame: Incision to closure

Secondary outcomes

  1. Blood loss

    Change in blood loss as determined by estimated blood loss and units of blood transfused (or blood products used) in mL.

    Time frame: Incision to closure

  2. Adverse Events

    The proportion of ER visits and post operative procedure related adverse events/complications as reported at the 90-day Follow-Up Chart Review.

    Time frame: Surgery to 90 days post-surgery

  3. Tumor margin status

    The proportion of negative tumor margins as determined by laboratory analysis.

    Time frame: Post-surgery (+3 days)
