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.
