About this study

Official title: A Pilot Feasibility and Safety Study Using Robotic Assisted Surgery in Patients With Spine Tumors

This pilot clinical trial studies robotic-assisted surgery in treating patients with spine tumors. Robotic-assisted surgery is a less invasive type of surgery for spine tumors and may have fewer side effects and improve recovery

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To perform a small pilot study that will demonstrate the feasibility of neurosurgical spinal procedures using the da Vinci surgical robot.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To compare complication rates, operative time and estimated blood loss with historical controls.

II. To observe wound healing, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, neurological injury and hardware failure.

II. Routine imaging of the spinal segment.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo robotic-assisted surgery using the da Vinci robot.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 100 days.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Complication rates with 95% confidence bounds of +/- 31% or smaller

    Measured: For 100 days post-surgery

  2. Estimated blood loss

    Measured: For 100 days post-surgery

  3. Operation duration

    Measured: At the completion of surgery

  4. Complication rate

    Measured: For 100 days post-surgery

  5. Demographic and clinical data such as stage, grade and histology

    Measured: At baseline

Timeline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing therapeutic conventional surgery in people with Adult Spinal Cord Neoplasm and Spinal Bone Metastases, run by City of Hope Medical Center.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complication rates with 95% confidence bounds of +/- 31% or smaller (time frame: For 100 days post-surgery). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Nov 2012.
