About this study

Official title: Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) Cell Therapy Related Cardiovascular Outcomes

This will be a cohort study of all patients receiving Cluster of Differentiation 19 (CD19)-specific CAR T cell therapy for relapsed/refractory B cell haematological malignancies. Patients will receive cardiac assessment and have serum cardiac biomarkers, ECG, transthoracic echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging performed at baseline prior to CAR T cell therapy, 7 days post CAR T cell infusion, and 3 months post CAR T cell infusion. Abnormalities in these cardiac investigations will be used to demonstrate cardiac injury and identify which patients are most at risk of developing cardiac injury related to CAR T cell therapy.

Read the detailed description

CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are a novel therapy for relapsing or refractory blood cancers, which have delivered a significant improvement in the rates of complete and partial remission. However, they are associated with toxicities, with some of early evidence suggestive of cardiovascular involvement. Despite this, the full extent of cardiovascular toxicity is poorly understood.

This research study seeks to understand the cardiac safety of CAR T cells in patients who receive this therapy as part of standard care for relapsed/refractory B-cell blood cancer. They will be assessed for cardiovascular risk factors via history, blood biomarkers, and cardiac imaging tests. These parameters will be repeated at 7 days following administration of the CAR T cells or if there are signs of cardiovascular deterioration, and again at 3 months follow up.

The aim is to predict the cohort most at risk of cardiovascular toxicity, and demonstrate evidence of cardiac injury on the cardiac imaging scans.

What is being measured

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

  1. Detected abnormalities - Composite

    The primary outcome is a composite of detected abnormalities on biomarkers, transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE), or Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) following CAR T cell infusion.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Detected abnormalities - Individual

    The secondary outcome measures includes a composite of detected abnormalities of factors on cardiac biomarkers (troponin and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide) , electrocardiogram (ECG) changes and acute heart failure.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases and B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by University College London Hospitals at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 12 May 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Detected abnormalities - Composite (time frame: 3 months). 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 12 May 2023.
