About this study

Official title: Screening for Coronary Artery Disease After Mediastinal Irradiation in Hodgkin Lymphoma Survivors

Survivors of Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) are known to have an increased risk of developing late treatment sequelae such as cardiovascular events due to coronary artery disease. At present no active screening is performed in these patients since it is not known whether screening and subsequent treatment by means of revascularization is effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in symptomatic individuals. In the trial the efficacy and therapeutic consequences of screening for coronary artery diasease by multi-slice CT (MSCT) among asymptomatic HL survivors will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

Objectives:

  1. to determine whether MSCT as a screening method of HL survivors treated with mediastinal irradiation accurately identifies asymptomatic significant coronary artery disease.
  2. to establish the prevelance of coronary abnormalities in HL survivors treated with mediastinal irradiation
  3. to determine the frequency and type of intervention
  4. to evaluate the acceptance of screening and asses quality of life among Hl survivors.

Study polulation:

50 long term survivors of HL, previously treatef with mediastinal irradiation without present evidence of cardiovascular disease

Intervention:

CT-coronary angiography and calcium score, to be performed as a screening method (to indicate further diagnostic treatent procedures)

What is being measured

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

  1. accurately identifying asymptomatic coronary artery disease

    to determine whether Ct coronary angiography as a screening method acuurately identifies asymptomatic coronary artery disease in a high risk poulation (HL survivors after mediastinal irradiation)

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. prevalnce of cornary artery disease and frequency/type of subsequent intervention

    to establish the prevelence of coronary abnormalities in HL survivors treated with mediastinal irradiation, and to determine the frequency and type of subsequent interventions

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CT coronary angiography in people with Radiation Therapy and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Leiden University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 Jun 2013. 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 Netherlands. 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?

accurately identifying asymptomatic coronary artery disease (time frame: one year). 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 NCT01271127, which also lists 2 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 12 Jun 2013.
