About this study

Official title: Atteintes Myocardiques, péricardiques et Vasculaires Sous Simple et/ou Double immunothérapie Anti-cancéreuse Anti-PD1, antiPDL1 et Anti-CTLA4

Our knowledge on cardiovascular side effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is restricted to this date to observational retrospective data (mainly case series and pharamcovigilance analysis). We aim at assessing the incidence of cardiovascular adverse side effects of ICIs by means of a prospective interventional single centre study using multiple biomarkers.

Read the detailed description

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are drastically improving cancer prognosis. Cardiovascular adverse side effects of ICIs are though to be rare but may be responsible for ~50% death rates.

Prospective screening for cardiovascular and muscular immune related side effects has not been undertaken independently from the industry.

The aim is to describe the incidence of these side effects by means of serial assessment in patients undergoing ICI therapy for cancer. Biomarkers as ECG, echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and long-term ECG monitoring will be undertaken at inclusion (before ICI therapy is started), and during the first cycle treatments and at 6 months follow-up.

Mean endpoint encompasses cardiovascular and muscular adverse side effects between the 2nd and the 3rd ICI cycle. Secondary endpoints include cardiovascular and muscular adverse side effects at 6 months follow-up, and the incidence of individual side effects.

4 ancillary studies based on patients' blood biobanking are also planned. Their objectives are:

  • to assess sensitivity of heart failure biomarkers in predicting cardiovascular events under ICI,
  • to assess sensitivity of cytokine biomarkers in predicting cardiovascular events under ICI,
  • to bank cells to induce cardiomyocytes from stem cells
  • to bank DNA to identify genetic factors related to occurrence of cardiovascular events under ICI

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Cardiac MRIDiagnostic test

    Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the heart before the first cycle of chemotherapy

  • Smart clothDevice

    A smart cloth recording cardiac and hemodynamic parameters will be worn by patients during 42 days. Replaced by a holter monitor if the smart cloth is refused or not tolerated by the patient.

  • BiobankingOther

    Blood samples (plasma, serum, DNA, stem cells, immune cells) taken as part of the study will be stored in a biological sample collection. These samples may be used for further analysis not described in the initial protocol but which may be useful for investigation or in light of advances in scientific knowledge.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with major cardiovascular advserse drug reactions

    Incidence of a composite endpoint including myocarditis, pericarditis, acute coronary syndrome, acute heart failure, subclinial cardio-toxicity, high degree conduction abormalities or ventricular sustained arrythmias, cardiovascular death.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of patients with major cardiovascular advserse drug reactions

    Incidence of a composite endpoint including myocarditis, pericarditis, acute coronary syndrome, acute heart failure, subclinial cardio-toxicity, high degree conduction abormalities or ventricular sustained arrythmias, cardiovascular death.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Number of patients with other cardiovascular advserse drug reactions

    Incidence of a composite endpoint including vasculitis or myositis.

    Measured: 6 weeks and 6 months

  3. Number of patients with isolated CMR abnormalities

    Serial assessment

    Measured: 6 weeks and 6 months

  4. Number of patients with rhythm abnormalities that do not fullfill major advsere event criteria

    Burden of extrasystole, low degree conduction disorders

    Measured: 6 weeks and 6 months

  5. Risk factors for cardiovascular adverse drug event

    Characterization of risk predictors for occurrence of cardiovascular adverse drug event, among the following: socio-demographic characteristics, oncologic characteristics, previous treatments, serum biomarkers, patient assessment on ESC-SCORE and ACC/AHA ASCVD risk scoring systems, immune status, cardiac characteristics on imaging.

    Measured: 6 weeks and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer and Immune Defect, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 10 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 8 Jun 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 patients with major cardiovascular advserse drug reactions (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 8 Jun 2023.
