About this trial

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether zoledronic acid-loaded bone cement (4mg ZOL+ gentamicin PMMA ) as adjuvant method can decrease local recurrence in patients with giant cell bone tumor following intralesional curettage surgery. The hypothesis is that patients with local administration of zoledronic acid to the bone cement has lower relapse rate compared those with traditional bone cement(gentamicin PMMA ).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

patients with primary resectable GCT of bone

lesion amenable to reconstruction (intralesional curettage) defined as having at least one intact column of bone after removal

no previous systemic bisphosphonate or denosumab therapy

with expected longer than 18 months of survival time

Disqualifiers

patients with recurrent GCT or extensive GCT which is impossible or inappropriate to use curettage surgery due to its "unresectable" nature.

conduct unexpected surgery at other center

the primary goal for surgery is revision

patient conduct en-bloc/wide resection instead of curettage surgery

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • 4mg ZOL loaded gentamicin PMMA

    Procedure/Surgery

    During surgery, 4mg ZOL will be mixed with gentamicin (1000mg) PMMA cement (40g) by surgeon under sterile conditions to prepare ZOL loaded bone cement, and then it will be filled into the bony defects of the patient where the lesion has been removed after intralesional curettage.

  • gentamicin PMMA

    Procedure/Surgery

    During surgery, gentamicin (1000mg) PMMA (40g) was prepared by surgeon under sterile conditions and will be filled into the bony defects of the patient where the lesion has been removed after intralesional curettage.

Treatment groups

153 Participants

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

time to first local recurrence

Time to first local recurrence will be reported during postoperative 18-month follow up period

Time frame
All patients will be followed for this endpoint until 18 months postoperatively

Secondary outcomes

1

MSTS score

The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scoring system is a disease-specific instrument to determine the physical and mental health for patients underwent limb-salvage surgery after tumor resection and is a validated and well-accepted functional scoring system used in orthopaedic oncology research

Time frame
Doctors will be responsible in filling this questionnaire 3 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months postoperatively during patients' follow up
2

TESS score

The Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS) is a physical disability measure developed specifically for patients undergoing surgery for extremity tumours and has been shown to have superior measurement properties compared with other commonly used sc

Time frame
Patients will be asked to fill this survey 3 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months postoperatively
3

postoperative complication

Including wound healing problem, mechanical failure, infection and any tumor progression issues

Time frame
Patients will be asked to report any complication 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months postoperatively during follow up
4

Potential ZOL-related complications

Patients will be followed for atypical bone fractures and avascular necrosis (AVN) of jaw, one of the most severe complication of ZOL

Time frame
Patients will be followed to report any complication 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months postoperatively.
