What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall survival

    Time frame: 12, 18, 24 months

  2. Local control of treated lesion based on radiographic review

    Patients will be classified as achieving local control if demonstrating response of treated spine lesion after treatment. Local control will be assessed by comparing the radiographic images after treatment and prospectively every 3 months for up to 24 months

    Time frame: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 16, 21, 24 months

  3. Progression free survival

    Time frame: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 16, 21, 24 months

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 24, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
