Trial summary

The aim of the proposed study is to assess endothelial function and IMT, as correlates of cardiovascular disease (CVD), in young adult Hodgkin's disease (HD) survivors, and to relate endothelial function to other risk factors including obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperinsulinemia and fasting glucose.

About this study

Official title: Assessment of Endothelial Function and IMT in Survivors Hodgkin's Lymphoma Patients

The aim of the proposed study is to assess endothelial function and IMT, as correlates of cardiovascular disease (CVD), in young adult Hodgkin's disease (HD) survivors, and to relate endothelial function to other risk factors including obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperinsulinemia and fasting glucose.

Read the detailed description

Disease free survival of Hodgkin's disease (HD) patients has improved dramatically over the past few decades. With the dramatic advance in patient's survival, the prevention and treatment of long-term adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy has become a major focus of interest. HD survivors have excess mortality compared with the age-matched general population, even after excluding disease relapse. A considerable proportion of the excess mortality is due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), principally ischemic heart disease and stroke.

The proposed study will assess endothelial function in HD survivors, using the non-invasive technique of brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD), by high-resolution ultrasonography. We will also assess IMT. The results of these tests are independent predictors of atherosclerosis disease progression and cardiovascular event rates. This is a prospective study comprising 40 young-adult (aged 18-30 years) . The study will comprise 40 survivors of HD: 20 patients treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy to the chest and 20 patients treated with chemotherapy alone. The patients will be compared to age and sex-matched patients from the data base of the endothelial function laboratory at the heart institute of the Sheba Medical Center. In addition to brachial artery endothelial function assessment, the patients will also undergo a physical examination including anthropometric measurements (height, weight, waist and hip circumference), and blood pressure. The evaluation will also include blood tests for glucose, lipid profile, CRP, AST, ALT and insulin. A medical history including smoking history and family history of CVD and dyslipidemia will be obtained.

Patients treated with radiotherapy to the chest will be compared to patients treated with chemotherapy alone and both patients will be compared to healthy controls. The patients will be characterized by age, risk factors for coronary heart disease and endothelial function as assessed by brachial artery FMD. We will establish the rate of endothelial function abnormalities in survivors of HD and its correlation with the other risk factors.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hodgkin's Lymphoma, run by Sheba Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 0 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 12 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 Israel. 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?

Frequencey of endothelial dysfunction by FMD (time frame: 2 years). 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 12 Apr 2023.
