Status: Enrolling

Conditions: Cardiotoxicity; Heart Failure; Pediatric Cancer

Treatments: Diagnostic Test: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); Other: Accelerometer physical activity monitoring

Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

Details and patient eligibility

About

Anthracycline chemotherapies (e.g. doxorubicin, daunorubicin) are commonly given to treat pediatric cancer, and carry a risk of cardiotoxicity. Over the long term, children who receive these therapies have an increased risk of heart failure and early cardiovascular death. However, current strategies for identifying patients who are at risk prior to the development of significant changes in heart function are limited. This study will focus on imaging markers of cardiac injury and dysfunction with the goal of developing improved diagnostic tests and treatment strategies.

Full description

Anthracycline chemotherapies (e.g. doxorubicin, daunorubicin) are commonly given to treat pediatric cancer, and carry a risk of cardiotoxicity. Over the long term, children who receive these therapies have an increased risk of heart failure and early cardiovascular death. However, current strategies for identifying patients who are at risk prior to the development of significant changes in heart function are limited. This study will focus on imaging markers of cardiac injury and dysfunction with the goal of developing improved diagnostic tests and treatment strategies.

Cardiac remodeling, function, and tissue characteristics will be examined using cardiac MRI in combination with other research assessments to assess the cardiotoxic effects of cancer therapy. Analyses will be performed in a cohort of adolescents and young adults with a history of childhood cancer.

Enrollment: 150 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 13 to 39 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• English and Spanish speaking male and female subjects, ages 13-39 years old
• Diagnosis of cancer at age <22 years
• Previously treated with anthracyline therapy for cancer, with diagnosis at least two years prior.

Exclusion criteria

• Patients who have a contraindication to cardiac MRI, including the presence of non-MRI compatible metallic implants.
• Medical, psychiatric, and/or social disorder that would prevent successful completion of planned study testing or would preclude the subject from undergoing the cardiac MRI without anesthesia.
• Patients with a history of congenital heart disease (more significant than a history of patent foramen ovale or patent ductus arteriosus).
• Pregnancy (at the time of enrollment).

Trial design

150 participants in 1 patient group
