About this study

Official title: A Two-arm, Single Center, Randomised Study to Evaluate the Safety and Clinical Outcome of Using Navigation System in Pedicle Screw Placement in Spine Surgery

The research project is testing whether in screw insertion of spine surgery using "Anatase" Spine Surgery Navigation System is at least as safe and accurate as using O-arm assisted spine surgery- Medtronic Stealthstation S7 Treatment Guidance System.

Read the detailed description

Pedicle screw insertion is performed to treat the patients with spine conditions, including degenerative, traumatogenic, and neoplastic lesions. Accurate insertion of pedicle screw is a crucial step which directly affects the surgical outcomes. In order to place the screws safely and accurately, various conventional techniques have been used, focusing on marking anatomical locations, entry points and insertion angles. Since the early 1990, the methods using computer systems that allow real-time image processing have been explored in order to improve the accuracy of pedicle screw placement.

The Medtronic StealthStation® S7® System is a hardware platform that enables real-time surgical navigation using radiological patient images. The application software reformats patient-specific CT or MR images acquired before surgery, or fluoroscopic images acquired during surgery, and displays them on-screen from a variety of perspectives. The "Anatase" Spine Surgery Navigation System is indicated for precisely positioning of surgical instruments and/or implants during general spinal surgery, such as pedicle screw placement.

This study will be a two-arms, single center, evaluator blind, controlled, parallel, randomised study in patients with pedicle screw placement in spine surgery. This trial will include patients need to undergo pedicle screw placement surgery with indication of spinal tumor, traumatic injury or degenerative spine disease (Pedicle screws placed from 10th thoracic vertebra to first sacrum), who are ≥20 years and ≤80 years of age with Body Mass Index (BMI) < 40 kg/m2 and Spine T-Score ≥ -2.5.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of screw outside the vertebral body

    Rate of screw outside the vertebral body as measure by post CT image which perform not later than discharge.

    Measured: not later than discharge, up to 14 days

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Difference between the actual and virtual (navigation image) of screw's sharp point position

    Blind Assessor will measure the distance (mm) between the actual (post-CT) and virtual (baseline CT) of screw's sharp point position.

    Measured: not later than discharge, up to 14 days

  2. Difference between the actual and virtual (navigation image) angle of screws

    Blind Assessor will measure the difference of angle (°) between the actual (post-CT) and virtual (baseline CT)screws.

    Measured: not later than discharge, up to 14 days

  3. Blood loss during surgery (mL)

    record the blood loss during surgery (mL)

    Measured: operation 1 day

  4. Total intraoperative radiation exposure for the operator and patient

    Record the total intraoperative radiation exposure of operator and patient wearing TLD badges

    Measured: 1 day, the TLD badges will be detected

  5. Mean time required for preparation of screw placement (min)

    Record the mean time required for preparation of screw placement (min)

    Measured: operation 1 day

  6. Time to accomplish each screw insertion (min)

    Record the time to accomplish each screw insertion (min)

    Measured: operation 1 day

  7. Ratio of revision surgery within 3 months after main surgery

    Record ration of revision surgery within 3 months after main surgery

    Measured: after 3 months of surgery

  8. Length of postoperative hospital stay

    Record length of postoperative hospital stay

    Measured: Discharge day, up to 14 days

  9. Adverse event (AE) and serious AE (SAE) incidence rates during the trial

    Record Adverse event (AE) and serious AE (SAE) during the trial

    Measured: 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing "Anatase" Spine Surgery Navigation System and Medtronic Stealthstation S7 Treatment Guidance System in people with Spinal Tumor and Traumatic Injury of Spine, run by Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 7 inclusion and 15 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Nov 2022. 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 Taiwan. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Rate of screw outside the vertebral body (time frame: not later than discharge, up to 14 days). 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 10 Nov 2022.
