Osteoid Osteoma clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Osteoid osteoma is a small, non-cancerous bone tumor that causes pain. UCSF is studying MRI-guided focused ultrasound and CT-guided radiofrequency ablation to treat these tumors effectively. These trials aim to compare different methods for reducing symptoms in patients.

  • MRgFUS Versus CTgRFA for Osteoid Osteomas

    open to eligible people ages 8 years and up

    Osteoid osteomas are painful, benign bone tumors that occur most frequently in young males between ages 10 and 20 years. The goal of the proposed study is based on the premise that MRgFUS is noninferior to CT-guided radiofrequency ablation (CTgRFA), in terms of pain reduction following treatment of osteoid osteomas, and offers possible improvements with regards to 1) post-procedural pain, 2) clinical resource utilization, 3) patient experience, and/or 4) adverse events. The data from the current study would provide clinicians important information in deciding between treatment options for ablation of osteoid osteomas.
