RSO: Multicentre Canadian Study to Measure the Safety and Efficacy of Radiosynoviorthesis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Radiation synovectomy by intra-articular injection of beta-emitting radionuclides is considered a reliable and easy-to-perform therapy without harmful side-effects for the treatment of inflammatory joint disease in many countries.
The goal of this study is to demonstrate Yttrium-90 citrate colloid or Rhenium-186 sulfide synovectomy are appropriate therapeutic interventions in patients with persistent active synovitis of a joint (characterized by pain, tenderness, and effusion) which is resistant to systemic therapy and intra-articular corticosteroid injections.
The primary objective will be to assess the safety of an intra-articular administration of Yttrium-90 citrate colloid or Rhenium-186 sulfide.
The secondary objective will be to assess the efficacy on synovitis.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- safety [3-4 days post -treatment]
The safety profile will be assessed by the incidence of AEs. All the AEs will be described by system/organ class and preferred terms and overall sorted by frequency.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Efficacy [Clinical response post treatment]
Efficacy outcomes will be the clinical response over 1 year post treatment ( at 3, 6 and 12 months):The comparison will be done with a confidence interval approach based on a Chi²-test for each of the above secondary criterion assessed at different times during the follow-up compared to the same criterion assessed at baseline.
