Trial summary

Several drugs and chemotherapies seem to induce myocarditis. This study investigates reports of myocarditis, including the International classification of disease ICD-10 for treatments in the World Health Organization (WHO) global Individual Case Safety Report (ICSR) database (VigiBase).

About this study

Official title: Monitoring Drug-induced Myocarditis

Several drugs and chemotherapies seem to induce myocarditis. This study investigates reports of myocarditis, including the International classification of disease ICD-10 for treatments in the World Health Organization (WHO) global Individual Case Safety Report (ICSR) database (VigiBase).

Read the detailed description

Several drugs and chemotherapies seem to have an impact on the myocardium and are responsible of myocarditis. Those are poorly described, due to the modification of the pharmacopeia, and the recent recognition of several of these adverse events. This study investigates the main characteristics of patients affected by myocarditis side effect imputed to drugs. A causality assessment according to the WHO-UMC (World Health Organization - Uppsala Monitoring Center) is systematically applied.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of myocarditis induced by drugs and report of cases of myocarditis associated with drugs.

    Measured: Case reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) database of individual safety case reports to 25/02/2019

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Causality assessment of reported myocarditis events according to the WHO system

    Measured: Case reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) database of individual safety case reports to 25/02/2019

  2. Description of the myocarditis depending on the category of drug

    Measured: Case reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) database of individual safety case reports to 25/02/2019

  3. Description of the other related adverse events concomitant to the myocarditis induced by drugs

    Measured: Case reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) database of individual safety case reports to 25/02/2019

  4. Description of the duration of treatment when the toxicity happens (role of cumulative dose)

    Measured: Case reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) database of individual safety case reports to 25/02/2019

  5. Description of the drug-drug interactions associated with adverse events

    Measured: Case reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) database of individual safety case reports to 25/02/2019

  6. Description of the population of patients having myocarditis adverse event

    Measured: Case reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) database of individual safety case reports to 25/02/2019

  7. Description of the pathologies (cancer) for which the incriminated drugs have been prescribed

    Measured: Case reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) database of individual safety case reports to 25/02/2019

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myocarditis and Myocardial Failure, 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 1 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 5 Apr 2023. 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?

Number of myocarditis induced by drugs and report of cases of myocarditis associated with drugs. (time frame: Case reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) database of individual safety case reports to 25/02/2019). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 5 Apr 2023.
