Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of the clinical trial is to evaluate the SPACE 360 Delivery System using SPACE CpsXL Bone Cement compared to standard vertebroplasty in the treatment of pathological fractures of the spine caused by metastatic tumors of the spine, myeloma, or lymphoma. Up to a total of three levels per patient may be included or five levels for multiple myeloma. The control group will be standard vertebroplasty.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary endpoint is cement leakage as determined radiographically (CT). will be cement leakage measured by CT. Secondary endpoints are reduction of pain (VAS) and quality of life measurements (Oswestry disability index).

14. Signal on MRI consistent with non-healed fracture
15. Female subjects must either be no longer capable of reproduction or taking acceptable measures to prevent pregnancy during the study
16. Subject must be willing and able to comply with specified follow-up evaluations

Exclusion Criteria

1. Primary tumors other than plasmacytoma
