Carbon fiber screws for spinal cancer treatment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if carbon fiber screws are better for stabilizing the spine when cancer has spread there. It may help patients who are getting special radiation therapy (SBRT) for spinal tumors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Able to walk and take care of yourself (ECOG 0-2)
- Eligible for a special type of radiation called SBRT
- Expected to live more than 3 months
- Willing to sign a consent form
- Healthy enough to survive surgery

This trial compares a new carbon fiber screw system to standard titanium screws for people needing spinal fusion surgery to treat degenerative spine conditions. It aims to see which type of screw works better for pain and stability.
This trial tests a precise radiation technique for people whose spinal tumors are very close to the spinal cord or nerves. It aims to safely give higher radiation doses while limiting damage to the cord.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation therapy given after spine surgery to treat cancer that has spread to the spine. The goal is to reduce pressure on the spinal cord and help control the disease with fewer side effects.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation therapy for cancer that has spread to the spine. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective in reducing the tumor while protecting your spinal cord and improving your quality of life.
This trial tests a special type of proton radiation for people whose spine cancer has spread from another part of the body and cannot be treated effectively with standard X-ray radiation. The goal is to see if proton radiation can safely deliver a high dose of radiation to the tumor.
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy for spinal cord compression caused by cancer. It uses daily MRI scans to target the radiation more precisely, which may help protect the spinal cord and improve outcomes.
