About this study

Official title: Assessment of Right Ventricular Contractile Reserve Following Lung Resection by Dobutamine Stress Cardiac Magnetic Resonance: a Feasibility Study

Feasibility study investigating CMR dobutamine stress testing before and after lung resection

Read the detailed description

We hypothesise that following lung resection,

  1. the subtle decrease in RV function and increase in afterload we have demonstrated at rest is associated with a marked impairment of RV function on exercise, termed impaired RV contractile reserve (RVCreserve),
  2. impaired RVCreserve is associated with impaired functional capacity .

In this study we aim to assess the feasibility of dobutamine stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) scanning to assess RVCreserve pre- and post-operatively in patients undergoing lung resection.

Additionally, we hypothesise that one lung ventilation (with and without lung resection) is associated with biomarker evidence of RV injury.We will perform peri-operative cardiac biomarkers to differentiate between the contribution of major surgery (gastrectomy, lung resection and oesophagectomy), one lung ventilation (lung resection and oesophagectomy) and lung resection on RV injury.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Dobutamine stress CMRDiagnostic test

    Dobutamine stress testing will be undertaken in keeping with local departmental clinical guidelines with a graded increase in dobutamine infusion up to a maximum of 10microgram/kg/min. The patients' medications will be managed in keeping with the usual clinical practice and departmental guidelines.

    At rest and on each graded level of dobutamine infusion we will collect cine loops of the cardiac cycle including a short-axis stack of the ventricles, a four-chamber view and flow imaging perpendicular to the main, left and right pulmonary arteries.

    Post-processing will be dual reported by blinded observers using the Argus analysis software (Siemens) according to a standardised protocol. A safety report of each CMR scan will be generated by a consultant cardiologist, any abnormalities identified will be referred to the appropriate medical speciality and highlighted to the patient's clinical team.

  • Cardiac biomarker sampleDiagnostic test

    blood samples will be collected pre-operatively, in recovery, on post-operative days 1 and 2, and at 4-8 weeks post-operatively

What is being measured

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

  1. 1) Feasibility of dobutamine stress CMR to measure RVCreserve following lung resection.

    Reliability and variability will be assessed through dual reporting of the CMR images, testing intra-/inter-observer intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and coefficient of variation (CV). Study design will allow comparison to our previous resting studies published exercise literature and between pre- and post-operative imaging.

    Measured: Pre-operative and 2 months post-operative

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. 1) Acceptability of the dobutamine stress CMR protocol to patients, by questionnaire

    Assessed by patient satisfaction questionnaires rate compared to our previous CMR studies that were performed without dobutamine stress testing.

    Measured: Pre-operative and 2 months post-operative

  2. 1) Acceptability of the dobutamine stress CMR protocol to patients, by completion

    Assessed by patient recruitment/withdrawal rate compared to our previous CMR studies that were performed without dobutamine stress testing.

    Measured: Pre-operative and 2 months post-operative

  3. 2) Incidence of complications related to dobutamine stress CMR

    We will assess for the onset of any of the following during the scan

    1. New onset atrial fibrillation
    2. Ventricular tachycardia
    3. Angina, chest pain, shortness of breath and/or ischaemic ECG changes

    Measured: Pre-operative and 2 months post-operative

  4. 3) Change in RVCreserve change following lung resection

    Comparison of the change in RVEF on stress pre- and post-operatively

    Measured: Pre-operative and 2 months post-operative

  5. 4) Change in PVreserve change following lung resection

    Comparison of change in wave reflection on stress pre- and post-operatively

    Measured: Pre-operative and 2 months post-operative

  6. 5) Association between the changes in RVCreserve and markers of cardiac inflammation, BNP

    Comparison of change in RVCreserve and the change in BNP

    Measured: Pre-operative and 2 months post-operative

  7. 5) Association between the changes in RVCreserve and markers of cardiac inflammation, hsTnT

    Comparison of change in RVCreserve and the change in hsTnT.

    Measured: Pre-operative and 2 months post-operative

  8. 1) Post-operative change in BNP

    Post-operative change in BNP in oesophagectomy compared to lung resection and gastrectomy.

    Measured: Peri-operative blood samples, pre-op, immediately post-op, post-op days 1 and 2, 4-8 weeks post-op

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Surgery, run by Belfast Health and Social Care Trust 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 3 Oct 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 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 Adam Glass (+442890976378, a.glass@qub.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

1) Feasibility of dobutamine stress CMR to measure RVCreserve following lung resection. (time frame: Pre-operative and 2 months post-operative). 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 3 Oct 2024.
