MyoStrain CMR for the Detection of Cardiotoxicity
CardiotoxicityHeart Failure1 moreThe Prefect Pilot Study evaluates the use of the EC approved MyoStrain SENC CMR Imaging System to detect cardiotoxicity from drugs used to treat cancer (e.g. Breast Cancer and Lymphomas).
CADY Study ICORG 08-01
Breast CancerCardiac ToxicityRATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients with cancer treated with trastuzumab may help doctors learn more about biomarkers related to heart dysfunction. It may also help doctors predict which patients will develop heart dysfunction. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying biomarkers to see how well they predict heart dysfunction in women with breast cancer treated with trastuzumab.
CAR T Cell Therapy Related Cardiovascular Outcomes
Cardiovascular DiseasesB-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia6 moreThis will be a cohort study of all patients receiving Cluster of Differentiation 19 (CD19)-specific CAR T cell therapy for relapsed/refractory B cell haematological malignancies. Patients will receive cardiac assessment and have serum cardiac biomarkers, ECG, transthoracic echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging performed at baseline prior to CAR T cell therapy, 7 days post CAR T cell infusion, and 3 months post CAR T cell infusion. Abnormalities in these cardiac investigations will be used to demonstrate cardiac injury and identify which patients are most at risk of developing cardiac injury related to CAR T cell therapy.
Sunitinib and Atrial Trabeculae Contractility
CardiotoxicityIschemia1 moreRationale: Recently, sunitinib (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is used for treatment of metastatic renal carcinoma and gastrointestinal stroma tumors) has been associated with development of heart failure, possibly by off-target inhibition of AMP-protein kinase. The investigators hypothesize that sunitinib reduces the contractile ability of myocardium and the tolerance against ischemia-reperfusion and that activators of AMP-protein kinase such as atorvastatin and AICAR reverse this unwanted effect of sunitinib. Objectives: The primary objective of the study is to investigate the effect of sunitinib on ex-vivo atrial contractile force in absence and presence of ischemia-reperfusion. A secondary objective is to explore if atorvastatin or AICAR prevent sunitinib-induced deterioration of contractile function of human atrial trabeculas. Study design: Lab
The CAROLE (CArdiac Related Oncologic Late Effects) Study
Coronary Artery DiseaseCardiac Disease12 moreCAROLE seeks to evaluate the relationship between chest Radiation Therapy and coronary artery disease. The purpose of CAROLE is to check the heart health of women who received breast cancer treatments in the past and protect them from future heart disease.
Cardiotoxicity of Adjuvant Trastuzumab
Breast NeoplasmsHeart FailureTrastuzumab (Herceptin®) increases the chances of cure in patients with Her-2 overexpressing early breast cancer. Unfortunately, both the chemotherapy drugs used in this setting (anthracyclines) and trastuzumab are known to cause cardiac dysfunction in a proportion of patients. Patients who develop heart problems when taking trastuzumab might have to stop this treatment, which could jeopardise their chances of cure. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT pro-BNP) is a cardiac biomarker that is measured in the blood, the levels of which have been shown to indicate the presence of heart failure. Some early research has suggested that there may be a correlation between elevated NT pro-BNP and heart damage due to cancer chemotherapy and also trastuzumab. Troponin is another substance measured in the blood that can indicate heart damage. Finally, certain variations in an individual's genetic makeup (called polymorphisms) could put them at increased risk of heart damage from trastuzumab. Here we are studying whether any of these factors (NT pro-BNP levels, troponin levels, or certain genetic polymorphisms) can accurately predict who is at highest risk of trastuzumab-related cardiotoxicity. The principal aim of this study is to evaluate the utility of NT pro-BNP as a predictive biomarker for the development of trastuzumab related cardiotoxicity (TRC). The investigators will also examine if single nucleotide polymorphisms in the HER2 gene or Fc-gamma-receptor genes predict for TRC.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell TransplantationCardiotoxicityThe purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of ACE inhibitors and the sacubitril-valsartan complex in bone marrow transplant patients by assessing cardiovascular and endothelial parameters in order to search for a potent protective role.
Subclinical Cardio-toxicities Evaluation With Strain Rate Echocardiography After Chemotherapy and/or...
LymphomaNon-Hodgkin3 moreTreatments-related cardiotoxicity is a critical issue in long term lymphoma survivors, particularly at young age, and its early identification is important to prevent clinically relevant cardiac events. Complete echocardiographic assessment including 2-dimension global longitudinal strain (2D-GLS), seems to be an effective tools in detecting preclinical systolic changes to the cardiac function even when the ejection fraction is preserved. The aim of Cardiocare study is to investigate early detection of subclinical chemo and radiation-induced changes in left ventricular function using 2D-GLS.
cARdiotoxicity Profile of aBIraTeRone in prostAte Cancer : a pharmacoviGilancE Study
ArrhythmiasCardiac4 moreAbiraterone associated with prednisone is used in prostate cancer. Abiraterone is a selective small-molecule inhibiting cytochrome P450 17A1 (CYP17A1), a key enzyme in androgen synthesis. CYP17A inhibition is also responsible for mineral corticosteroid related adverse events as hypokaliemia, fluid retention, and hypertension. Primary hyperaldosteronism is associated with cardiovascular toxicities such as atrial fibrillation and cardiac failure. Other androgen-deprivation therapies are not associated with increased mineral corticosteroid level. This study investigates reports of cardiovascular toxicities for treatment including L02 (sex hormones used in treatment of neoplastic diseases), and G03 (sex hormones) used in prostate cancer in the French pharmacovigilance database and in the EudraCT database.
BreAst Cancer and Cardiotoxicity Induced by RAdioTherapy: the BACCARAT Study
Breast CancerCardiac ToxicityBreast radiotherapy RT used until the 1990s was clearly responsible for increased mortality due to long term cardiac complications. Since the 2000s, improvements have appeared in dose distributions to organ at risks such as heart, but now, little is known on the risk of potential cardiac impairment in this population, in particular for chemotherapy naive patients. Based on the state that clinically detectable cardiotoxicity is generally preceded by subclinical cardiac dysfunctions, the aim of the BACCARAT study (BreAst Cancer and Cardiotoxicity induced by RAdioTherapy) is to evaluate whether adjuvant 3DCRT induces cardiac toxicity that could be detected in the first two years after treatment based on a global approach with repeated analysis of subclinical functional and anatomical cardiac lesions in myocardial and coronary levels and circulating biomarkers.
