Arterial embolization for painful bone metastases
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a procedure called arterial embolization, which blocks blood flow to bone tumors, to see if it can reduce pain or prevent fractures. It is for people with bone cancer that has spread from another cancer (metastases).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are expected to live more than 3 months.
- You have one or a few bone tumors, OR many tumors where at least one is painful or at risk of breaking.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or very low platelets.
- You do not have an active infection.
- Your bone tumors are not the type that are very low in blood flow (hypovascular).

This trial compares two types of radiation therapy to relieve pain from cancer that has spread to the bones. It aims to see whether a more targeted, high-dose approach (SBRT) works better than standard palliative radiation.
This trial tests a single session of radiation therapy to relieve pain and improve stability in up to two bone spots where cancer has spread. The goal is to make treatment faster and more convenient for patients.
This trial studies a precise type of radiation given in multiple small sessions to treat bone metastases that are causing pain. It may help shrink or control the spots in the bone while aiming to reduce side effects by targeting the area closely.
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy to spots where cancer has spread to the bone can prevent future bone problems like fractures. It's for people who have a few bone metastases that aren't causing severe pain yet.
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 study compares two ways of giving radiation therapy to relieve pain from cancer that has spread to the bones. The goal is to find which approach works better with fewer side effects.
