A Phase I Study of the NovoTTF-200M and Novo TTF-200A Systems for the Treatment of Refractory Spinal Metastasis
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
This clinical research study is to learn about the safety of the NovoTTF-200M and Novo TTF-200A Systems, when used either alone or in combination with standard therapy, in patients with tumors that did not respond to treatment.
Description
Primary Objective: To evaluate the safety of applying TTFields at frequencies between 150 and 200KHz, using the TTF200M and TTF-200A systems (respectively), alone or in combination with available systemic therapies as adjuvant treatment in patients with radiation refractory spinal metastasis. Safety will be specifically assessed based on absence of wound dehiscence in the surgical group and severe cellulitis requiring drainage and intravenous antibiotics in both surgical and non-surgical cohorts. Secondary Objective: To assess local spine progression-free survivals at about every 3 months (…
