About this study

Official title: Assessment of Operative Time, Precision, and Safety of an Augmented Reality Navigation System (Endosight) for the Guidance of Bone Biopsy

The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the duration of the procedure, the precision (distance between the needle tip and the centre of the target), and the safety of endosight system in the guidance for bone biopsies.

Read the detailed description

In this study results obtained in the prospective group will be compared with those obtained in the retrospective group.

Total N° of patients: 16

PROSPECTIVE GROUP (treated WITH the guidance of endosight):

N° of patients: 8

RETROSPECTIVE GROUP (treated WITHOUT the guidance of endosight):

N° of patients: 8

Main objective of the study:

Reduction of execution times by at least 10 minutes; Reduction of the number of CT scans by at least 2 scans.

N°of hospitals involved: 2.

Duration: maximum 6 months from the date of the first enrollment.

No follow-up is expected.

Being tested
8 Patients who were prescribed a CT-guided percutaneous bone biopsy, performed with the aid of endosight navigation system
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 8 Patients who were prescribed a CT-guided percutaneous bone biopsy, performed with the aid of endosight navigation systemProcedure or surgery

    Also called augmented reality, endosight, Bone biopsy, Bone tumor

    The study is based on a comparison of the number of CT scans required for needle placement in bone biopsies (trunk area) performed with augmented reality navigation system (endosight) and without.

What is being measured

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

  1. Procedure time

    Change in the total duration of the procedure (calculated from the time of local anesthesia injection to the time of bone sample collection)

    Measured: During bone biopsy procedure (after the bone sample has been collected)

  2. Total number of CT-SCAN

    Change in overall number of CT scans performed during the procedure (calculated as the total number of CT scans required to reach the target; from the 1° CT-scan (local anesthesia) to the last CT-scan (sample collection from the bone)

    Measured: During bone biopsy procedure (after the bone sample has been collected)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. endosight accuracy

    Distance between the tip of the needle and the center of the target (from 0mm to 10mm)

    Measured: During bone biopsy procedure (after the bone sample has been collected)

  2. Total radiation dose

    Change in the total radiant dose received by the patient (calculated by summing the radiation emitted for each CT-Scan performed from the anesthesia-point to the collection-point)

    Measured: During bone biopsy procedure (after the bone sample has been collected)

  3. Operator satisfaction

    satisfaction level of the operator (from 0 to 5 - 1: poor satisfaction, 5: high satisfaction)

    Measured: During bone biopsy procedure (after the bone sample has been collected)

  4. Side effects

    Total number of major+minor side effects, reported during the procedure

    Measured: During bone biopsy procedure (after the bone sample has been collected)

Model description
The study is designed to compare a prospective arm composed of 8 patients who were prescribed a CT-Guided bone biopsy (with the aid of endosight navigation system) with a retrospective arm with a bone lesion for which a percutaneous biopsy has been performed from January 2011 to May 2022 (without endosight navigation system)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 8 Patients who were prescribed a CT-guided percutaneous bone biopsy, performed with the aid of endosight navigation system in people with Bone Lesion and Bone Tumor, run by R.A.W. - S.R.L. at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 9 Mar 2023. 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 Italy. 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?

Procedure time (time frame: During bone biopsy procedure (after the bone sample has been collected)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05732558, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Mar 2023.
