About this study

Treatments-related cardiotoxicity is a critical issue in long term lymphoma survivors, particularly at young age, and its early identification is important to prevent clinically relevant cardiac events. Complete echocardiographic assessment including 2-dimension global longitudinal strain (2D-GLS), seems to be an effective tools in detecting preclinical systolic changes to the cardiac function even when the ejection fraction is preserved. The aim of Cardiocare study is to investigate early detection of subclinical chemo and radiation-induced changes in left ventricular function using 2D-GLS.

What is being measured

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

  1. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)

    Left ventricular ejection fraction measured by echocardiography

    Measured: Baseline, Change of LVEF from Baseline at 4/6 month (end of chemotherapy), Change of LVEF from Baseline at 6/8 months (end of radiotherapy - if applicable), Change of LVEF from Baseline at 9/11 months (3 months after treatment completion)

  2. Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS)

    Global Longitudinal Strain measured by strain-rate echocardiography

    Measured: Baseline, Change of GLS from Baseline at 4/6 month (end of chemotherapy), Change of GLS from Baseline at 6/8 months (end of radiotherapy - if applicable), Change of GLS from Baseline at 9/11 months (3 months after treatment completion)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Anthracycline cumulative dose

    Anthracycline cumulative dose

    Measured: 4/6 month after baseline (end of chemotherapy)

  2. T troponin

    T troponin rate

    Measured: Baseline, Before each chemotherapy administration, 4/6 month after baseline (end of chemotherapy), 6/8 months after baseline (end of radiotherapy - if applicable), 9/11 months after baseline (3 months after treatment completion)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by A.O.U. Città della Salute e della Scienza at 1 site in Italy.

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 7 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 19 Jul 2022. 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 Italy. 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?

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (time frame: Baseline, Change of LVEF from Baseline at 4/6 month (end of chemotherapy), Change of LVEF from Baseline at 6/8 months (end of radiotherapy - if applicable), Change of LVEF from Baseline at 9/11 months (3 months after treatment completion)). 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 19 Jul 2022.
