Trial summary

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) might induce high grade immune-related adverse events (irAEs) involving the cardio-vascular system. This study investigates reports of cardio-vascular toxicity associated with treatment including anti-PD1, Anti-PDL-1, and Anti CTLA4 classes using the World Health Organization (WHO)… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: JOint Use of Database to Identify Risk Factors of CARDio-vascular Adverse Reactions Induced by Immune Checkpoint InhibiTors: VigiBase, Entrepot de Données de Santé (EDS), Système National Des Données de Santé (SNDS) Databases and a Retrospective International Multicenter Registry of ICI-associated Myocarditis

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) might induce high grade immune-related adverse events (irAEs) involving the cardio-vascular system. This study investigates reports of cardio-vascular toxicity associated with treatment including anti-PD1, Anti-PDL-1, and Anti CTLA4 classes using the World Health Organization (WHO) database VigiBase, Assistance Publique Hopitaux de Paris Entrepot de Données de Santé (APHP.EDS), French Système National Des Données de Santé (SNDS) Databases and a retrospective international multicenter registry of ICI-associated myocarditis

Read the detailed description

ICIs have dramatically improved clinical outcomes in multiple cancer types and are increasingly being tested in earlier disease settings and in combination. Thus, irAEs can occur and risk factors for such events have been scarcely described. Here, the investigators will use VigiBase (http://www.vigiaccess.org/), the World Health Organization (WHO) database of individual safety case reports, to identify risk factors for cases of cardiovascular adverse drug reaction following treatment with ICIs, the investigators will also use two french databases : APHP Entrepot de Données de Santé (EDS), French Système National Des Données de Santé (SNDS) Databases and a retrospective international multicenter registry of ICI-associated myocarditis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myocarditis and Cardiomyopathies, 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 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2026. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Joe-Elie SALEM, MD PhD (142178531 ext. +33, joe-elie.salem@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Identifying risk factors of cardio-vascular toxicity of ICIs. (time frame: Case reported in VigiBase, APHP Entrepot de Données de Santé (EDS), Système National Des Données de Santé (SNDS) Databases and a retrospective international multicenter registry of ICI-associated myocarditis from inception to January 2025). 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 NCT04294771, which also lists 7 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 11 Sep 2026.
