Brief Summary

The primary objective of this trial is to compare the efficacy of 2 analgesic strategies, based on percutaneous cryotherapy plus medical supportive care versus medical supportive care alone in the tre...

Detailed Description

There is a substantial body of evidences that support the rationale for percutaneous cryotherapy in the treatment of painful musculoskeletal metastasis. Since the available results are based exclusive...

  • Patient referred to a Pain Management Unit to optimize the analgesic strategy;
  • Painful metastatic lesion that fulfils with all the following :
  • Pain must be correlated with an identifiable lesion on imaging (Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging or Ultrasonography)
  • Level of mean pain within the past 24 hours of at least 4/10 (numeric rating scale)
  • Painful metastasis suitable for a procedure of percutaneous cryotherapy
  • Life-expectancy longer than 6 months;
  • Performance Status of the ECOG ≤2;

  • Tumor involving a weight bearing long bone of the lower limbs with the tumor causing more than 50% of cortical bone;
  • Lesion amenable to any curative intervention;
  • Formal indication for local analgesic procedure other than percutaneous cryotherapy;
  • Prior radiotherapy on the targeted lesion within the 3 weeks prior to randomization;
  • Patient with any contraindication for the procedure of percutaneous cryotherapy, including treatment requiring ice ball formation within 0.5 cm of the spinal cord, brain, other critical nerve, structure, large abdominal vessels such as the aorta or inferior vena cava, bowel or bladder (except if active or passive thermic protection can be performed);
  • Uncontrolled coagulopathy or bleeding disorders;
  • Evidence of pregnancy, breast-feeding, or patient wishing to become pregnant during the study;
  • Active, uncontrolled infection;
  • Any cognitive impairment or any disease that may restrain the use of numeric scales and the administration of quality of life questionnaires;
  • Clinically significant unrelated systemic illness (e.g., serious infection or significant cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, or other organ dysfunction) that would likely interfere with study procedures or results;
  • Concurrent participation in other experimental studies that could interfere with the primary endpoint assessment.
