Trial summary

Chemotherapy-related cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in cancer patients is a public health concern. Although several imaging techniques exist to prevent and monitor chemo-induced cardiotoxic effects, the lack of recommendation and consensus is a barrier to reducing cardiac adverse events in this population.

About this study

Chemotherapy-related cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in cancer patients is a public health concern. Although several imaging techniques exist to prevent and monitor chemo-induced cardiotoxic effects, the lack of recommendation and consensus is a barrier to reducing cardiac adverse events in this population. PET/CT with Gallium-68 somatostatin analogues (68Ga-DOTATOC, 68Ga-DOTATATE...) is now part of the reference imaging of neuroendocrine tumors (pulmonary, gastrointestinal, pancreatic, pheochromocytoma / paraganglioma, medullary thyroid cancer...), allowing to evaluate their extension and to follow up. Their treatment, including a large arsenal of chemotherapy (etoposide, capecitabine, cisplatin, etc.), may cause cardiotoxicity, which is difficult to assess.

Chemotherapy-related cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in cancer patients is a public health concern. Although several imaging techniques exist to prevent and monitor chemo-induced cardiotoxic effects, the lack of recommendation and consensus is a barrier to reducing cardiac adverse events in this population. PET/CT with Gallium-68-labeled somatostatin analogues (68Ga-DOTATOC, 68Ga-DOTATATE...) is now part of the reference imaging of neuroendocrine tumors (pulmonary, gastrointestinal, pancreatic, pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, medullary thyroid cancer...), allowing to evaluate their extension and to perform follow-up . Their treatment, including a large arsenal of chemotherapy (etoposide, capecitabine, cisplatin, etc.), may cause cardiotoxicity, which is difficult to assess. However, significant cardiac area uptake has been found on some 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT scans in oncology. This uptake could be related either to the patient's cardiac history (inflammatory atheromatous valvular and/or coronary lesions), some studies having shown the association between the uptake of a somatostatin analogue and the presence of calcified plaques, or to a possible chemo-induced cardiotoxicity which, to our knowledge, no study has investigated. Thus, the identification of 68Ga-DOTATOC binding patterns in the cardiac area in relation to chemo-induced cardiotoxicity would have the advantage of avoiding the multiplication of examinations in the initial and follow-up work-up, thus allowing the combined evaluation of the disease and the cardiac adverse effects induced by its treatments, and thus a better control of the cardio-induced morbidity and mortality of patients with a neuroendocrine tumor.

The hypothesis of this study is that 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT scans with oncological indications sometimes show significant uptake in the cardiac area, which could be related to inflammatory atheromatous coronary/valvular lesions, or to a recent history of potentially cardiotoxic oncological treatments (or to diffuse somatic inflammation?)

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between measurements and cardiac hyperfixation

    Correlation between measurements of myocardial activity ratios and possible cardiac hyperfixation sites with blood activity and presence of cardiovascular history, and health data collected such as cardiovascular risk factors (and their number), and the existence of recent chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oncologic Disorders, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

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 21 Jun 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 France. 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?

Correlation between measurements and cardiac hyperfixation (time frame: 2 years). 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 Jun 2024.
