Evaluation of Fracture Fixation With Energy and Cement in Tumors of the Spine
Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Spinal Fractures
In brief
The objective of the clinical trial is to evaluate the SPACE 360 Delivery System using SPACE CpsXL Bone Cement compared to standard vertebroplasty in the treatment of pathological fractures of the spine caused by metastatic tumors of the spine, myeloma, or lymphoma. Up to a total of three levels per patient may be included or five levels for multiple myeloma. The control group will be standard vertebroplasty.

- Spinal metastasis (except renal cell), myeloma, or lymphoma of the spine
- Pathological fracture(s), T5-L5, with bone marrow edema imaged by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain of > 4 on a scale of 0 to 10
- Oswestry score of at least a moderate disability (21-40%)
- No major surgery to the spine planned for at least 1 month following enrollment - Defined as a procedure the magnitude of a laminectomy or more
- Life expectancy of > 6 months.
- Patient has sufficient mental capacity to comply with the protocol requirements
- Availability for all study visits and phone calls
- Understands the potential risks and benefits of participating in the study and is willing to provide written informed consent
- Pathological vertebral fracture with 20-70% compression (compared to adjacent normal vertebral body)
- Fracture age < 6 months
- Signal on MRI consistent with non-healed fracture
- Female subjects must either be no longer capable of reproduction or taking acceptable measures to prevent pregnancy during the study
- Subject must be willing and able to comply with specified follow-up evaluations
You may not qualify if…
- Primary tumors other than plasmacytoma

- Severe cardiopulmonary deficiencies - Defined as not being able to tolerate general anesthesia (although the likelihood is local anesthesia will be used)
- Vertebra plana defined as vertebral body height of 20% or less compared to the nearest normal level
- Disabling back pain secondary to another cause that may interfere with accurate data collection
- Subjects who are known to be pregnant (pregnancy test required within 10 days of treatment) or lactating
- Females capable of reproduction and will not take acceptable measures to prevent reproduction during the study
