MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound : Feasibility Study for the Treatment of Bone Metastases and osteoïd Osteoma

University Hospital, Strasbourg, France15 enrolled

Overview

Ufoguide is a prospective single arm open study to assess the feasibility of a new type of HIFU system to treat bone tumors. HIFU is classically delivered by a transducer integrated in the MRI table. This study assesses a new type of approach in which the HIFU transducer is manually placed on the skin of the patient, under the assistance of optical navigation, and held in place by MR-compatible passive arms. The primary goal of this study is to assess the feasibility of heating the tumor accurately with this new HIFU system. The evaluation and monitoring of the treatment will be performed by MR thermometry. Secondary endpoints include the evaluation of clinical efficacy, quality of life and safety.

Ufoguide is a prospective single arm open study to assess the feasibility of a new type of HIFU system for the treatment of painful metastases (palliative intent) and osteoid osteoma (curative intent). HIFU is classically delivered by a transducer integrated in the MRI table. This study assesses a new type of approach in which the HIFU transducer is manually placed on the skin of the patient and held in place by MR-compatible passive arms. Optical infrared navigation is used to help the physician with the positioning of the HIFU transducer. The primary goal of this study is to assess the feasibility of heating the tumor accurately with this new HIFU system. The evaluation and control of the treatment will be performed by Proton Resonance Frequency Shift (PRFS) MR thermometry. Secondary endpoints include the evaluation of clinical efficacy, quality of life and safety. Clinical efficacy is defined: * in palliative intent by a decrease ≤3 on visual analogic scale * in curative intent (osteoid osteoma) by a total disappearance of pain Quality of life is assessed by EORTC quality of life questionnaire-core 30 items Complications are recorded to assess safety.

Interventions

UFOGUIDE "patient transducer"DEVICE

The transducer is maintained by a flexible/rigid structure, consisting of a support base, and three to four feet forming an arch around the area to be treated. These feet exist in several lengths (10, 20, 30, 40 cm) depending on the area to be treated and can be easily mounted on the base by fast attachment. The structure is based on the principle of granular jamming: it is flexible in its normal state, and can be stiffened by the application of depression within the feet.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Device feasibility

The device feasibility is defined by the ability of the device to induce a hyperthermia on the tumor

Time frame: Assessed in real time during the procedure

Secondary Outcomes

Clinical efficacy: - in palliative intent by a decrease ≤3 on visual analogic scale - in curative intent (osteoid osteoma) by a total disappearance in pain

Clinical efficacy is defined: * in palliative intent by a decrease ≤3 on visual analogic scale * in curative intent (osteoid osteoma) by a total disappearance in pain

Time frame: Before intervention and day 1, day 5 and day 30

Quality of life using the EORTC (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer) quality of life questionnaire

EORTC quality of life questionnaire is composed of multi-items scales and single-item measures. All of the scales measures range in score from 0 to 100. A High scale score represents a higher response level.

Time frame: Before intervention and day 30

Safety :number of patients with complications and characterization of complications

Complications recording

Time frame: day 1, day 5 and day 30
