Trial summary

Spinal arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex neurosurgical lesions that are very challenging to manage. Spinal vascular malformations account for 3%-4% of all intradural spinal cord mass lesions. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Surgical Intervention of Spinal Arteriovenous Malformations and Fistulas: Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study

Spinal arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex neurosurgical lesions that are very challenging to manage. Spinal vascular malformations account for 3%-4% of all intradural spinal cord mass lesions. Over the last few decades our understanding of these lesions has dramatically increased thanks to neuroimaging technology (e.g. spinal angiography and indocyanine green angiography). Various treatment modalities including conservative observation, endovascular embolization, microsurgical resection, radiation therapy, and combined therapies have been reported. The treatment for these AVMs and AVFs depends on their location, the type of malformation, the area of the spine involved, and the condition of the patient at the time of treatment. Due to the rarity of these spinal vascular lesions, reports of their management and outcomes have been limited to small series and case reports. And the rates of obliteration and outcomes are not satisfactory, especially the spinal AVMs. Spinal vascular lesions are rare but represent a formidable challenge for the treating neurosurgeon.The purpose of this study is to establish multimodality treatment mode and evaluate the anatomical cure rate and functional preservation rate.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, prospective, observational, registration study. There are nine centers involved in the study. The investigators set up a more detailed classification system for spinal vascular malformations. In accordance with inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, this cohort study will include 380 samples in the study period of three years. According to the spinal angiography, the correct diagnosis and treatment strategy will be made. The minimally invasive surgical treatment methods and new techniques will be adopted such as spinal superselective angiography, preoperative embolization, intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring, intraoperative angiography, etc. All the enrolled patients will be visited a total of four times, postoperative day 1 and postoperative day 7, followed up postoperative 3 months and 12 months. The anatomical cure rate and spinal cord function will be assessed objectively. All data will be recorded in the network database platform.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of the spinal cord function

    American Spinal Injury Association(ASIA) Score for evaluating the spinal cord function.Indexes (ASIA score) at baseline (1 day before operation) and 12 months follow-up will be collected, then the change from preoperative to 12 months follow-up will be assessed.

    Measured: 1 day before operation and 12 months postoperative

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Anatomic obliteration rate

    the anatomic obliteration rate is determined by angiography 3 months post operation.

    Measured: 3 months post operation

  2. American Spinal Injury Association(ASIA) Score

    Measured: 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post operation

  3. Modified Aminoff & Logue's Scale (mALS)

    Measured: 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post operation

  4. Modified Denis Pain and Numbness Scale (mDPNS)

    Measured: 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post operation

  5. Incidence of perioperative complications

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spinal Cord Vascular Diseases, run by Hongqi Zhang, MD at 1 site in China.

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 13 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Hong Tao, MD (86-13810000653, hongtao.edu@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of the spinal cord function (time frame: 1 day before operation and 12 months postoperative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03024749, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 6 Jun 2017.
