Spine fracture risk study for cancer that spread to the spine
Part of Cancer, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study watches people with cancer that has spread to the spine to see how likely the bones are to break. It may help doctors know who needs stronger treatment to prevent spine fractures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have cancer that has spread to your spine (between the chest and lower back).
- At least one spine bone is unstable or at risk of breaking, and it has not been fixed with surgery yet.
- You are willing to have checkups for 6 months.
- You can understand and sign a consent form.
- You are not expected to live less than 3 months.
- Your cancer is not a blood cancer like multiple myeloma.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 collects information about people with spine cancer who have surgery to relieve pressure on the spine, followed by radiation therapy. The goal is to learn more about how well these treatments work together.
This trial tests adding a bone-cement procedure (vertebroplasty) along with radiation to reduce pain from cancer that has spread to the spine. It is for adults with painful metastatic (spread) tumors in the middle or lower spine, without current spinal cord pressure.
This study looks at whether treating certain spine tumors with a cement procedure (vertebroplasty) plus focused radiation can control the cancer and improve quality of life. It is for adults with spine metastases that are not clearly defined and meet specific stability and imaging needs.
This study tests whether radiation given after limited surgery helps control cancer that has spread to a small area of the spine. It may help reduce tumor growth in the treated spine area and improve local control after operation.
This Phase 2 study tests a precise radiation treatment (spine SBRT, also called radiosurgery) to reduce pain from cancer that has spread to the spine. It focuses on people with stable spine structure and low pain at the start, to see how well the treatment works and stays safe.
