CT scan study to assess bone strength in certain cancers
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses a CT scan to estimate how strong a cancer-affected bone area is, helping doctors evaluate fracture risk and bone management. It is aimed at adults with bone lesions from several common cancer types.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (over 18 years old).
- You must be willing to participate, including signing consent if you agree to any biological sample collection.
- You have bone metastases (secondary bone lesions) from these cancer types: breast, lung (non-small cell), kidney, bladder, thyroid, or myeloma.
- You need a CT scan of the cancer-affected area done as part of your usual care within 30 days before or 20 days after joining.
- The target area must be in the upper thigh bone (near the hip, upper 1/3) and/or the spine, and the lesion is either diffuse permeative or larger than 15 mm.
- The bone area must NOT have had targeted treatment there (no radiation, surgery, or procedures like cement/ablation) and it must not already be fractured. If it’s the thigh bone target, you cannot have a hip replacement on either side.

This study looks at how different types of breast cancer spread to the bones, using bone scans. It may help doctors better understand and predict bone metastasis based on your cancer's specific characteristics.
This study looks at people with cancer that has spread to the bones. It uses your medical imaging and records to understand your risk of bone fracture, without testing any new treatment.
This study checks how common bone problems are in people with thyroid cancer. It uses a chest x-ray done before surgery to look at the spine's shape.
This trial is testing how well treatments for advanced prostate cancer that has spread to the bones can be seen on scans. It may help doctors find better ways to measure if the cancer is responding to treatment.
This study checks if CT scans can measure bone and muscle health as well as standard tests in older adults. If you've had a recent CT scan and simple strength or walking tests, your data may help improve care for seniors.
This study uses special imaging to compare bone structure in people with conditions that cause bone or muscle loss vs. those with back pain. It aims to better understand bone health in different diseases.
