About this study

Official title: Evolution of the Heart Function When Monitoring Immunotherapies Anti-cancerous Inhibiting Programmed Cell Death 1 (PD-1)

Prospective, monocentric clinical study. Patients selected for nivolumab therapy in AP-HM for melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer will be eligible. Do not include patients with conditions that do not allow MRI, prior cardiovascular disease with LVEF<50%, cardiomyopathy, history of cardiac arrhythmia, history of cardiovascular toxicity under anticancer therapy, coronary artery disease or stroke less than 3 months Therapeutic management will not be modified and treatment will be administrated as usual.

Cardiovascular follow up will be identical to that recommended and realized in current care in the Cardio-Oncology unit of AP-HM. It will include clinical, biological (BNP and troponin) and trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE) at baseline and then at 1, 3 and 6 months. Auto-antibodies against troponin I assay will be performed to avoid false negatives of normal blood level of troponin I at baseline and then at 6 months. Cardiac MRI will be performed as well at baseline and at the end of the study (6 months). MRI is the gold standard for ventricular function evaluation.

Primary endpoint will be left ventricular function evolution evaluated by global longitudinal strain (GLS, 2D speckles tracking) in TTE. Secondary endpoints will be left and right ventricular function parameters: LEVF by TTE and MRI, left ventricular indexed volumes by TTE and MRI, right ejection ventricular function and indexed volumes by TTE and MRI, systolic pulmonary arterial pressure by TTE, serum troponin I and BNP, arrhythmias and conduction disorders on the electrocardiogram (ECG).

Number of required subjects: GLS is recommended for following up left ventricular function under anticancer treatments. Based on the hypothesis of a significant GLS decrease (15%) in 20% of cases with alpha risk of 0.05 and accuracy of 0.12 which means expected confidence interval of 0.08-0.32, then the number of required subjects is 50 patients.

The inclusion period will be 18 months with a follow up if 6 months, ie a total duration of the study of 24 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Nivolumab, MRI and BLOOD SAMPLES in people with Melanoma and Non-small Cell, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact jennifer CAUTELA (0491968289, jennifer.cautela@ap-hm.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT03313544, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Apr 2023.
