Spine Tumor clinical trials at UCSF
2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people
A spine tumor is a growth that occurs in the bones or soft tissues of the spine. UCSF is observing the effect of ketamine on motor evoked potentials during adult thoracolumbar surgeries. Data on intraoperative nerve signals are recorded and analyzed.
Ketamine on Intraoperative Motor Evoked Potentials
open to eligible people ages 18-100
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of ketamine on intraoperative motor evoked potentials in adult patients undergoing thoracolumbar spinal fusions. Participants will undergo a standard anesthetic. In addition to the standard anesthetic, the patients will be administered increasing doses of ketamine with motor-evoked potentials being measured at each dose, to assess any impacts.

Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The registry aims to collect patient information such as patient demographics, co-morbidities, clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic data, as well as information on adverse events and HRQOL outcomes specific for patients with metastatic spine tumor(s).
