About this study

Observational prospective cohort study designed for patients with gastrointestinal cancers receiving a fluoropyrimidine based chemotherapy regimen.

Read the detailed description

All enrolled participants will undergo baseline cardiovascular risk assessment (using QRISK3 and SCORE 2 risk calculators), cardiac, oncological and medication history. All participants will have serial cardiac symptom assessment, 12 lead ECG and cardiac biomarker assessments(high sensitivity troponin T and NT pro BNP) at baseline, on completion of the first cycle of treatment and post completion of treatment. Participants will be followed up for the development of cardiotoxicity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of fluoropyrimidine induced cardiotoxicity (FIC)

    Fluoropyrimidine induced cardiotoxicity defined as a composite of:

    • Types 1-3 myocardial infarction with troponin >99th percentile upper limit,
    • Incident myocardial ischaemia (chest pain with or without new inducible perfusion abnormality on perfusion cardiac MRI,
    • Myocarditis (diagnosed as per European Society of Cardiology Consensus statement)
    • Incident heart failure (HF) diagnosis (symptoms with raised N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP )> 400pg/ml or HF hospitalisation),
    • Incident arrhythmia (excluding isolated ectopy) or sudden cardiac death.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Relationship of baseline cardiovascular risk with FIC

    Baseline cardiovascular risk assessed using QRISK3 cardiovascular risk calculator

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Relationship of baseline cardiovascular risk with FIC

    Baseline cardiovascular risk assessed using SCORE2 cardiovascular risk calculator

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in cardiac biomarkers (high sensitivity troponin T)

    Measured: Assessed at baseline pre chemotherapy, after cycle 1 chemotherapy (46 hours for patients on 5-FU and day 14 for patients on capecitabine) and at end of treatment (at 6 weeks post completion)

  2. Change in cardiac biomarkers (NT pro BNP)

    Measured: Assessed at baseline pre chemotherapy, after cycle 1 chemotherapy (46 hours for patients on 5-FU and day 14 for patients on capecitabine) and at end of treatment (at 6 weeks post completion)

  3. Cardiovascular symptom assessment

    Using modified seattle angina questionnaire

    Measured: Assessed at baseline pre chemotherapy, after cycle 1 chemotherapy (46 hours for patients on 5-FU and day 14 for patients on capecitabine) and at end of treatment (at 6 weeks post completion)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiotoxicity and Gastrointestinal Neoplasms, run by University College, London 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 Sep 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Aderonke Abiodun (07737138851, aderonketemilade.abiodun@nhs.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of fluoropyrimidine induced cardiotoxicity (FIC) (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 3 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 21 Sep 2023.
