A Pilot Study of Image-Guided Navigation for High Dose Rate Temporary Interstitial Brachytherapy in the Palliative Management of Previously Treated Tumors of the Spine and Pelvis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ir-192 high dose rate (HDR) for Metastatic or Recurrent Lesions in the Spine and Metastatic or Recurrent Lesions in the Pelvis. Completed, enrolled 3 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if using a form of imaging during surgery helps the doctors to guide the placement of radiation catheters more accurately. This method, called "image-guided surgical navigation" may allow the doctors to deliver radiation to the tumor that the patient needs and decrease the amount of radiation delivered to the nearby areas.

Interventions
Patients will be followed at 2 months (+/- 2 weeks) post-treatment and then approximately every 3 months (+/- 2 weeks) until approximately 11 months of follow up. They will be evaluated for pain referable to the treated site, clinical and radiographic evidence of local progression, and treatment related toxicity. Thereafter, patients will be followed as clinically indicated.
