About this study

Official title: Cardiotoxicity of Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators and Aromatase Inhibitors in the European Pharmacovigilance Database

Selective estrogen receptor modulators and aromatase inhibitors for the treatment of breast cancer seems to have an impact on the cardio-vascular system. This study investigates reports of cardiovascular toxicities for treatment including Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification: L02 in the European pharmacovigilance database, Eudravigilance.

Read the detailed description

Hormone replacement therapies and contraceptive pills are responsible of a wide range of cardio-vascular side effects, particularly thrombo-embolic disorders and ischemic heart disease. The difference of incidence and type of cardio-vascular events between men and women are strongly related to sex hormones. This study investigates the main characteristics of patients affected by cardiovascular side effects (of which ventricular arrhythmia's, QT prolongation and Torsade de Pointe) imputed to drugs classified as L02 according to ATC.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Analysis of disproportionality of reports for cardiotoxicity associated with selective estrogen receptor modulators as compared to aromatase inhibitors by performing a case- non-case study

    Measured: Immediate evaluation

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Type of cardiotoxicity (ventricular arrhythmia's, QT prolongation and Torsade de Pointe) depending on the category and type of hormonal therapy (selective estrogen receptor modulators or aromatase inhibitors)

    Measured: Immediate evaluation

  2. Disproportionality analysis of the reporting of drug-induced ventricular arrhythmia's with selective estrogen receptor modulators as compared to aromatase inhibitors

    Measured: Immediate evaluation

  3. Disproportionality analysis of the reporting of drug- induced QT prolongation with selective estrogen receptor modulators as compared to aromatase inhibitors

    Measured: Immediate evaluation

  4. Disproportionality analysis of the reporting of drug-induced Torsade de Pointe with selective estrogen receptor modulators as compared to aromatase inhibitors

    Measured: Immediate evaluation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Affections, run by Groupe Hospitalier Pitie-Salpetriere at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Analysis of disproportionality of reports for cardiotoxicity associated with selective estrogen receptor modulators as compared to aromatase inhibitors by performing a case- non-case study (time frame: Immediate evaluation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03259711, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Oct 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
