RECRUITING NA

Proximal FEmur Reconstruction or Internal Fixation fOR Metastases (PERFORM) Trial

NCT06863129 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if removing and replacing part of the hip bone works better than using metal hardware to stabilize the bone in patients whose cancer has spread to the hip. The main questions are: 1. Does removing and replacing part of the bone work better than just stabilizing it with metal hardware? 2. Does removing and replacing the bone help reduce problems like cancer coming back or the metal hardware breaking? Researchers will compare two treatments: using metal rods and plates to stabilize the bone (internal fixation) versus removing part of the bone and possibly replacing the hip joint (resection and reconstruction) to see if the second option causes fewer problems. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to one of two groups (internal fixation or resection and reconstruction). * Have one of the two surgeries based on which group they're in. * Go to follow-up appointments with the study doctor at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months after surgery.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06863129

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06863129 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 334 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Michelle Ghert, MD, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Metastatic Bone Disease appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Internal Fixation is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06863129 reports 6 study locations spanning 5 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Oregon, Indiana, Other. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
