Pelvic bone cancer treatment with light-activated nails
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to treat cancer that has spread to the pelvic bone. It uses a special nail that is activated by light to help stabilize the bone and reduce pain, while also improving your ability to move around after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a type of cancer (like carcinoma, myeloma, or lymphoma) that has spread to the pelvic bone area around the hip socket.

- You are healthy enough to have general anesthesia (medication to make you sleep during surgery).
- You can understand and agree to be in the study by signing a consent form.
- You are willing to fill out surveys about how well you are functioning before and after surgery.
- Your blood counts (neutrophils and platelets) are at safe levels.
- You are not pregnant.

This trial tests a new type of bone cement mixed with ultrasound to help treat cancer that has spread to the pelvis and is causing severe pain. The goal is to see if this approach safely reduces pain and improves quality of life in patients with advanced cancer.
This trial studies a device called IlluminOss that uses light to help stabilize pelvic fractures and treat pain. It is for people whose pelvic fracture is caused by cancer-related bone damage or frailty, and who already have the IlluminOss pelvic implant planned as part of standard care.
This trial tests a special type of radiation called PULSAR combined with an immunotherapy drug (anti-PD-1) in people whose cancer has spread within the abdomen or pelvis. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help people live longer.
This study looks at combining two treatments for painful bone tumors that have spread from other cancers. It tests if using both treatments together provides better pain relief than either alone.
This trial tests a special type of radiation called adaptive radiotherapy for people with certain pelvic cancers. Adaptive radiotherapy adjusts the treatment plan each day based on changes in your body, which may help target the cancer more precisely and reduce side effects.
This test uses a light device (photobiomodulation) to see if it can help prevent or reduce nerve damage and pain caused by chemotherapy. It is for patients starting cancer treatment.
