Malignant Bone Tumor clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Longevity, Functional Status and Quality of Life of the Compress® Compliant Pre-Stress System

CPS

Start date: September 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In the treatment of malignant bone tumors, it may be necessary to remove large areas of the femur. To replace these large parts of missing bone, a prosthesis can be used. One innovative technology developed by Biomet is the Compress® Compliant Pre-Stress System (CPS; Zimmer-Biomet, Warsaw, USA). This fixation device uses compression, via a short traction bar, to stimulate osteointegration at the bone-prosthetic interface, promote hypertrophy of the loaded bone, and avoid stress bypass of the host bone around a stiff intramedullary stem. Young patients cured of tumors have a long life expectancy and a compelling need for prosthetic fixation that is equally durable. Good bone fixation is a prerequisite for implant longevity. Although the initial results are encouraging, there is a need for additional mid- to long-term survival data from larger patient series showing longevity of the system, as well as reporting of functional outcome. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, no study examining the survival of the device using prospective data already exists. In addition, no studies were found examining the quality of life of the patients with the CPS system.
