Focused Ultrasound and RadioTHERapy for Noninvasive Palliative Pain Treatment in Patients With Bone Metastases
The FURTHER study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of MR-HIFU (alone or in combination with EBRT) compared to EBRT alone, the standard-of-care, as a palliative treatment option to relieve CIBP. This multicenter, three-armed randomized controlled trial will be performed in six hospitals in four European countries, and will include a total of 216 patients with painful bone metastases.
Start: March 2020
