TRACP-5b for Diagnosis and Follow-up of Giant Cell Tumor of Bone

This prospective observational study will evaluate whether the blood biomarker TRACP-5b can help diagnose and monitor patients with giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB). GCTB is a rare but locally aggressive bone tumor that can return even after surgical treatment. Currently, patients require long-term follow-up based mainly on imaging examinations such as CT or MRI, and suspected recurrence often requires invasive biopsy procedures. TRACP-5b is an enzyme associated with osteoclast activity that can be measured from a blood sample. Previous studies suggest that TRACP-5b levels may reflect disease activity and risk of recurrence in patients with GCTB. In this study, patients with newly diagnosed GCTB and patients already undergoing long-term follow-up after treatment will undergo regular blood sampling for TRACP-5b measurement during routine outpatient visits. Laboratory results will be compared with the patient's clinical condition, imaging findings, and histological results when available. The goal of the study is to determine whether TRACP-5b could become a reliable and minimally invasive tool for earlier detection of disease recurrence and improved long-term monitoring of patients with giant cell tumor of bone.

Local Bisphosphonate Effect on Recurrence Rate in Extremity Giant Cell Tumor of Bone

The purpose of the clinical study is to investigate whether the local delivery of bisphosphonate as a surgical adjuvant can decrease the chance of a giant cell tumor of bone coming back to the same location. The hypothesis is that the local administration of bisphosphonate will decrease the rate of the tumor returning compared to traditional aggressive surgical removal of the tumor.

Accuracy of Indocyanine Green (ICG) Fluorescence Imaging in Giant Cell Tumor of Bone Surgery

This study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence imaging in visualizing residual lesions of Giant Cell Tumor of Bone (GCTB) in the tumor cavity during surgery. Patients diagnosed with GCTB will receive an intravenous injection of ICG prior to the operation to label tumor tissues. During the procedure, surgeons will use a near-infrared fluorescence imaging system to visualize the tumor cavity and identify potential residual lesions after standard curettage. The study aims to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of ICG fluorescence imaging by comparing the intraoperative fluorescence findings with the final pathological results of the validation samples.

PROMIS and Mobility Evaluation in Sarcoma Patients

The goal of this is to validate the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) in sarcoma patients undergoing surgery, and to evaluate a novel smartphone app for collecting mobility data. The goals of the study include to: 1. Validate PROMIS as a patient outcome measure in sarcoma 2. Assess the effectiveness of a novel app for administering questionnaires and collecting mobility metrics 3. Compare PROMIS scores and mobility metrics to better evaluate recovery trajectories after surgery Participants will complete PROMIS questionnaires at regularly scheduled intervals using the smartphone app. Questionnaires will be completed pre-operatively and at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months post-operatively. Additionally, the app will passively track mobility metrics such as daily step count, stairs climbed, and gait parameters to compare with PROMIS scores.

Efficacy of ICG-based NIR Imaging in Intralesional Curettage of Giant Cell Tumors of Bone in Limbs: a Prospective, Single-center, Single-arm, Open Study

ICG fluorescence imaging will be applied during the intralesional curettage of giant cell tumor of bone in the limbs. This study aims to preliminarily explore whether ICG fluorescent-guided curettage could find small residual tumors and reduce the recurrence rate of tumor.

A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Narlumosbart (JMT103) in Patients With Giant Cell Tumor of Bone

This is a phase Ⅲ, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of narlumosbart (JMT103) in patients with unresectable or surgically difficult giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB). This clinical trial study hypothesizes narlumosbart administration groups are not inferior to active control administration groups.

Zoledronic Acid-loaded Bone Cement as a Local Adjuvant Therapy for Giant Cell Bone Tumor After Intralesional Curettage

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether zoledronic acid-loaded bone cement (4mg ZOL+ gentamicin PMMA ) as adjuvant method can decrease local recurrence in patients with giant cell bone tumor following intralesional curettage surgery. The hypothesis is that patients with local administration of zoledronic acid to the bone cement has lower relapse rate compared those with traditional bone cement(gentamicin PMMA ).
