Trial summary

This trial studies how well cardiac biomarkers work in the early detection of cardiotoxicity in patients receiving sunitinib malate or sorafenib chemotherapy. Some chemotherapies are known to cause damage to heart muscle cells, resulting in heart failure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Early Detection of Cardiotoxicity During Sunitinib or Sorafenib Chemotherapy Using Cardiac Biomarkers

This trial studies how well cardiac biomarkers work in the early detection of cardiotoxicity in patients receiving sunitinib malate or sorafenib chemotherapy. Some chemotherapies are known to cause damage to heart muscle cells, resulting in heart failure. Often, the damage is not detected until heart failure has already occurred. Testing for cardiac biomarkers, such as troponin I and/or T and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), may be useful in detecting heart damage earlier than other tests currently performed (such as echocardiogram and electrocardiogram).

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine if specific biomarkers (troponin I and B-type natriuretic peptide [BNP]) detect cardiotoxicity earlier than standard clinical means in patients receiving sunitinib malate (SU11248) or sorafenib chemotherapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To prospectively evaluate the incidence and severity of cardiac toxicity related to sunitinib or sorafenib during chemotherapy.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive sunitinib malate or sorafenib chemotherapy then undergo blood collection 2 weeks later, and then every 4-6 weeks for up to 6 months to test for troponin I and BNP.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity of each biomarker for detecting cardiotoxicity

    Will estimate with exact 95% confidence intervals.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  2. Specificity of each biomarker for detecting cardiotoxicity

    Will estimate with exact 95% confidence intervals.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Incidence of cardiotoxicity

    Will use the methods of Gooley, et al (1999) to estimate the cumulative incidence of cardiotoxicity while considering deaths from other causes as a competing risk. Will estimate the cumulative incidence of cardiotoxicity while stratifying by common risk factors (one at a time). Will use mixed linear models to model the biomarker levels over time, accounting for the correlation between biomarker levels within patient. Will use logistic regression to model the log odds of cardiotoxicity as a function of common risk factors for cardiotoxicity. Will also include the duration of chemotherapy use and the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory - Heart Failure (MDASI-HF) score as a potential prognostic factor for cardiotoxicity.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  2. MD Anderson Symptom Inventory - Heart Failure (MDASI-HF) score

    Will summarize the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory - Heart Failure (MDASI-HF) score over time with descriptive statistics and boxplots.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Malignant Neoplasm, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 2020. 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Terminated per PI's request). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Sensitivity of each biomarker for detecting cardiotoxicity (time frame: Up to 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Jan 2020.
