LUMP Trial Summary

This trial will compare outcomes of two different approaches to bone marrow biopsies - ultrasound vs landmarks - in order to determine which is more effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult patients at Froedtert Hospital who need a bone marrow biopsy for blood or cancer conditions and can give consent. It's not for those under 18, without a biopsy indication, with BMI ≥ 40, or unable to consent.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares traditional palpation method versus ultrasound-assisted technique in performing bone marrow biopsies. It aims to see if using ultrasound improves the procedure by reducing pain and increasing sample quality.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the document doesn't specify side effects, generally bone marrow biopsies can cause pain at the puncture site, bleeding, bruising, infection risk and rarely long-lasting discomfort.

LUMP Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Ultrasound-AssistedExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
After the usual landmark technique is performed and the potential site has been marked, procedure team physician will use the ultrasound machine to "fine tune" the drill site location.
Group II: LandmarkActive Control1 Intervention
For a landmark bone marrow biopsy procedure, the patient is first positioned either prone or lateral decubitus. The lateral, superior iliac crest is palpated and an attempt is made to follow the course of the posterior iliac crest until the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) is palpated. Additionally, the gluteal cleft is visualized indicating the patient midline. The area over the sacrum at midline is then palpated, proceeding laterally until the PSIS can be felt. The skin is marked with a marker at the estimated PSIS and point of entry.
