Trial summary

The goal of this study is to see if a special type of heart scan called a diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) that uses extra measurements, can be used to find early signs of heart damage from chemotherapy. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients who meet the selection criteria will be recruited from the breast medical oncology clinics at MSKCC.

Who may be able to join

  • ≥18 years of age on the day of signing the informed consent.
  • Diagnosis of HER2+ breast cancer
  • History of anthracycline therapy and antiHER2 treatment
  • For subjects with decrease in LVEF: Recent (within 12 weeks) drop in LVEF ≥10% on echocardiogram from baseline and confirmed by cardiac MRI for the study population. If the drop in EF is not confirmed on MRI, the subject will be removed and placed into the control group.
  • For control group: Less than a 10% change in EF from baseline for the control population confirmed on echocardiogram and cardiac MRI. If no change in EF is not confirmed on MRI, the subject will be removed and placed into the study group if the change in EF is equal to or greater than 10%. Note: Male breast cancer patients are uncommon and are not expected to be included in this study, however if they meet the above criteria, they will not be excluded.

Who cannot join

  • Prior myocardial infarction
  • Prior surgical or percutaneous coronary revascularization
  • Pregnant or lactating patients
  • Patients who because of general medical or psychiatric condition, or physiologic status unrelated to the presence of breast cancer cannot give valid informed consent
  • Patients who are unwilling or unable to undergo MRI including patients with contraindications to MRI such as the presence of cardiac pacemakers or non-compatible intracranial vascular clips, claustrophobia, inability to lie flat for the duration of the study etc. MRI eligibility will be determined on the day of consent with the MRI questionnaire.
  • Patients with metallic implants or device in the chest that might distort local magnetic field and compromise quality of MRI

About this study

The goal of this study is to see if a special type of heart scan called a diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) that uses extra measurements, can be used to find early signs of heart damage from chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

This prospective single institutional pilot study will enroll breast cancer patients who develop cardiotoxicity while on anthracycline and anti-HER2 therapy . The control group will be composed of patients on similar anthracycline therapy and dose but without a decline in LVEF on Cardiac MRI (CMR). Clinic visits with monitoring for cardiotoxicity occur as part of standard of care after therapy initiation. The study and control group will be composed of 15 patients each. At the discretion of the treating physician, patients will be recruited from the Breast Medical Oncology Service.

Being tested
cardiac MRI with DWI

Study groups in NCT02274480
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Breast cancer patients with cardiotoxicityEach patient will undergo a cardiac MRI with DWI. The standard of care in patients with declining LVEF is a cardiac MRI. For this study, those patients will also have the added DWI sequence. For patients who are not already scheduled for a cardiac MRI by their referring physician, and therefore do not have an upcoming standard of care cardiac MRI, a research cardiac MRI with DWI will be added. They will not be charged for the DW-MRI of the heart or any additional images taken as part of that scan. Patients unable to tolerate lying flat for this length of time or to tolerate the scan for any reason will be withdrawn and replaced in the study. After their cardiac MRI, their participation in the study is complete.
Receives: Device: cardiac MRI with DWI

What is being measured

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

  1. presence of edema

    associated with cardiotoxicity as visualized on DWI by the attending cardiac imagers we may explore the association of the presence of edema on DWI with a drop in LVEF > 10% using exact logistic regression

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chemotherapy Induced Cardiotoxicity in Breast Cancer Patients, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 2 sites 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 5 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 4 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 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?

presence of edema (time frame: 1 year). 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 4 Sep 2020.
