Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the changes by two modalities: Imaging by Strain by Speckle Tracking and Magnetic Resonance versus soluble markers of cardiac dysfunction as early predictors of cardio-toxicity in cancer patients receiving low or high doses of radiotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Global Longitudinal Strain (Left Ventricle)

    >5 Absolute drop or 12% Relative reduction from baseline

    Measured: Baseline, 1 and 12 weeks after Treatment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Cinema Imaging

    Cinema imaging: Long axis balance, Balance 4 cameras, Short shaft full balance, Right ventricular balance

    Measured: Baseline, 1 and 12 weeks after treatment

  2. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Anatomical Image

    Inversion recovery single shot balance 3D short axis covering the entire heart and aorta with free respiratory trigger

    Measured: Baseline, 1 and 12 weeks after treatment

  3. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Flow Image

    2D outflow tract of the aorta 2D pulmonary artery outflow tract

    Measured: Baseline, 1 and 12 weeks after treatment

  4. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Quantitative Image

    T1 map short axis apical section T1 map short axis medial section T1 map short axis basal section

    T2 map short axis apical section T2 map short axis medial section T2 map short axis basal section

    Measured: Baseline, 1 and 12 weeks after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Radiotherapy; Complications and Cardiotoxicity, run by Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile at 1 site in Chile.

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 6 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 Apr 2024. 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 Chile. 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?

Global Longitudinal Strain (Left Ventricle) (time frame: Baseline, 1 and 12 weeks after 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 4 Apr 2024.
