Trial summary

Anthracycline-based chemotherapy is a key point of the treatment of patients with Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. However, cumulative doses are limited by cardiotoxicity, resulting in a marked left ventricular function impairment that may lead to heart failure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Early Assessment of Anthracycline-induced Cardiotoxicity: Usefulness of Biochemical Markers and Ventricular Function Assessment.

Anthracycline-based chemotherapy is a key point of the treatment of patients with Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. However, cumulative doses are limited by cardiotoxicity, resulting in a marked left ventricular function impairment that may lead to heart failure.

The standard clinical approach to monitoring for anthracycline cardiotoxicity is based on cardiac function monitoring using echocardiography or radionuclide angiography. The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of biochemical markers of cardiac injury (troponin and NT-proBNP) and structural changes on cardiac MR in predicting anthracycline cardiotoxicity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma and Heart Failure, Congestive, run by Centre Henri Becquerel at 2 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: No patients; only 6 enrolled after 2 years). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00195897, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Aug 2016.
