About this study

Official title: Assessment of Cardiac Autonomic Function in Adulthood After Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy in Childhood. Ancillary Study of the "Long-term Follow-up of Childhood Cancer Survivors in the Rhône-Alpes and Auvergne Regions of France" Study

The SALTO-SNA study is an ancillary study of the SALTO study (Suivi À Long Terme en Oncologie des enfants guéris d'un cancer pédiatrique en régions Rhône-Alpes et Auvergne) coordinated by Dr. Claire Berger, pediatric oncologist at the CHU, Saint Etienne. It aims at re-examining, in their initial treatment center, all patients (a cohort of 495 patients alive in 2011), diagnosed between 1987 and 1992, and cured of childhood cancer (except leukemia) in the Rhône-Alpes and Auvergne regions.

The rationale for this study is based on the observation that although the survival rate of childhood cancers has now reached 75%, complications of chemotherapy and radiotherapy are high and greatly increase the risk of mortality in later years (estimated to be 14% in the literature).

The morbidity risk of chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be quantified by assessing the activity of the intrinsic cardiac autonomic regulation, which represents a powerful predictor of cardiovascular morbidity to the individual.

Read the detailed description

For this purpose, analysis of the cardiac RR variability is a reliable, non-invasive and reproducible system that could be used in this population as a tool for early detection of cardiovascular dysfunction.

What participants receive

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

  • Autonomic nervous system activity recordsOther

    The description of autonomic equilibrium is based on the use of non-invasive tools such as Holter-ECG monitor (24 hours) which is suitable for longitudinal follow up of cohorts of patients. This tool allows the analysis of instantaneous or delayed variability of the heart rate, in the Hertzian frequency domain after extraction and mathematical transformation of a temporal sequence of R-R spaces from the ECG signal.

What is being measured

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

  1. Autonomic nervous system activity

    The autonomic status will be classified in sympatho-vagal equilibrium as "normal", "altered" or "severely abnormal" according to the values obtained for some temporal indices (SDNN, SDaNN, RMSSD etc. ..) and frequencies (Ptot, HF, LF , VLF, ratio LF / HF) compared to validated standards for the age (mean +/- standard deviation).

    Measured: 15 years after the end of the cancer treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Doses of radiotherapy

    Regarding radiotherapy, the doses of different vital organs of the body (151 anatomic sites) will be estimated from the radiotherapy technical records with the help of the Dos-EG software proposed by the INSERM team of F De Vathaire.

    Measured: 15 years after the end of the cancer treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer and Sequels, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 4 sites 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 31 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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?

Autonomic nervous system activity (time frame: 15 years after the end of the cancer treatment). 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 31 Mar 2015.
