Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiofrequency ablation uses high-frequency electric current to kill tumor cells and may help to relieve pain caused by bone metastases
PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation in relieving pain in patients who have bone metastases
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation in terms of pain relief at 4 weeks in patients with painful bone metastases Determine the safety of this regimen in these patients Compare the change in pain interference with daily life and analgesic use at 4 weeks vs baseline in patients treated with this regimen Determine the time to recurrence of worst pain in patients treated with this regimen
OUTLINE This is a multicenter study
Patients receive radiofrequency ablation RFA to targeted tumors on day 0 multiple tumors may receive ablation in multiple sessions Patients who achieve a reduction in worst pain of at least 2 points within 4-8 weeks but experience recurring pain at the RFA site or are diagnosed with a new painful lesion within 4-24 weeks receive 1 additional treatment to the recurring or new site
Pain using the Brief Pain Inventory scale of 0-10 analgesic use and quality of life are assessed at baseline on day 1 weekly for 4 weeks and then every 2 weeks for 20 weeks
Patients are followed for 6 months beyond the last RFA treatment
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A maximum of 50 patients will be accrued for this study
