Actual (reported)The SPARTA study (Spinery® Radiofrequency Ablation Device Study) is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical investigation designed to evaluate the safety, performance, and efficacy of the Spinery® RF Generator and its sterile single-use accessories for the palliative treatment of painful bone metastases. Adult patients with metastatic lesions involving the vertebral bodies, sacrum, iliac crest, or peri-acetabulum who were not candidates for, or had failed, standard therapies underwent percutaneous radiofrequency ablation with the investigational device. A total of 52 participants were enrolled across five Italian centers and were assessed at baseline, post-procedure, and during follow-up visits at 1, 3, and 12 months. Endpoints include evaluation of pain reduction, quality of life, usability, and procedural safety.

Actual (reported)Change From Baseline in Worst Pain and Quality of Life Scores at 3 Months Using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) and EQ-5D-5L Questionnaires
Pain severity and health-related quality of life were evaluated using two validated questionnaires: * Brief Pain Inventory (BPI): Participants rated their worst pain in the last 24 hours for each treated lesion site (thoracic, lumbar, peri-acetabulum, iliac crest, sacrum) on an 11-point numeric scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Higher scores indicate worse pain. The change in BPI Worst Pain Score was calculated as the average reduction from baseline to the 3-month visit. * EQ-5D-5L: Participants reported their overall health status across five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression), each rated on five levels of severity. Responses were converted into a utility index ranging from -0.594 (worst health state) to 1.000 (best health state), where higher scores indicate better quality of life. The EQ-5D-5L visual analogue scale (VAS) ranges from 0 (worst imaginable health) to 100 (best imaginable health).
Baseline and 3-month follow-up
Number and Percentage of Participants Who Successfully Completed the Spinery® RF Ablation Procedure
The number and percentage of participants who successfully completed the Spinery® RF ablation procedure per protocol. Completion is defined as participants who underwent the full planned treatment without premature discontinuation or technical interruption. Results are expressed as the count and percentage of the total number of treated participants.
Post-Procedure (primary evaluation point)
Participants in this single-arm study underwent percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of painful bone metastases using the Spinery System, consisting of the Spinery® RF Generator, the sterile single-use Spinery® Kit, and the sterile single-use Spinery® Cooling Connection. The procedure was performed according to the study protocol, with follow-up visits scheduled at 1, 3, and 12 months to assess pain reduction, safety, usability, and quality of life.
Radiofrequency ablation of bone metastases performed with the Spinery System, a radiofrequency generator with dedicated sterile, single-use accessories (electrode kit and cooling connection).
