Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Change of Worst Pain Score: Thoracic/Lumbar Spine RF Ablation
- timeFrame
- From Baseline to 3 months post RF ablation
- description
- Demonstrate an improvement of worst pain score (WPS) at the target treatment site in the previous 24 hours for subjects with metastatic lesions in only the thoracic and/or lumbar vertebral body(ies) as collected using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). The WPS is a single question from the BPI (scored from 0-10; 0=NO PAIN and 10=PAIN AS BAD AS YOU CAN IMAGINE). Lower scores indicate less pain.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Candidate for OsteoCool RF ablation per the labeled indication applicable in their respective country/region
2. A. Metastatic lesions targeted for treatment must be located in the thoracic and/or lumbar vertebral body(ies), periacetabulum, iliac crest, and/or sacrum OR benign bone tumors - no restrictions on location of lesion
3. Report worst pain score ≥4/10 at the target treatment site within the past 24 hours
4. Localized pain resulting from no more than two sites total of metastatic disease
5. Have Karnofsky score ≥40 at enrollment (not applicable for subjects with benign bone tumors)
6. Willing and able to provide a signed and dated informed consent, comply with the study plan, follow up visits and phone calls
7. At least 18 years old at the time of informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
1. A. Implanted with heart pacemaker or other implanted electronic device (Europe and Canada only)
2. Use of OsteoCool in vertebral body levels C1-C7
3. Multiple myeloma, solitary plasmacytoma, or primary malignant lesions in the index vertebra or bone
4. Active or incompletely treated local infection at the planned treatment site(s) and/or systemic infection
5. Planned treatment site(s) accompanied by objective evidence of secondary radiculopathy or neurologic compromise
6. Planned treatment site(s) associated with spinal cord compression or canal compromise requiring decompression
7. Fractures due to prostatic cancer or other osteoblastic metastases to the spine. Metastatic lesions originating in the prostate that are osteolytic or mixed origin are eligible for the study
8. Pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant during the study duration
9. Concurrent participation in another clinical study that may add additional safety risks and/or confound study results\*
10. Any condition that would interfere with the subject's ability to comply with study instructions or might confound the study interpretation
* Subjects in concurrent studies can only be enrolled with permission from Medtronic. Please contact Medtronic's study manager to determine if the subject can be enrolled in both studies.References
