About this study

The purpose of this study is to detecte and predict early subclinical cardiac damage induced by thoracic radiation therapy based on two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography combined with multiple circulating biomarkers.

Read the detailed description

This is a monocentric prospective cohort study in which 100 patients treated for malignant tumors and with cardiac radiation exposure will be included.All patient will be followed for 12 months after radiotherapy. Echocardiography, 2D STE parameters and circulating biomarkers will be collected.

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

Contact Dan Zhu, M.D. (+8613810103532 ext. +8613810103532, andrea_zhu@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Early Detection of Cardiac Damage by Two-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography After Thoracic Radiation Therapy (time frame: 2020-2021). 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 NCT04443400, 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?
