Filter by:Anthracyclines (e.g. Doxorubicin) are an important and highly effective chemotherapeutic. They are used in various tumor entities and are established for breast cancer treatment. The most significant prognostic side effect is cardiotoxicity, which occurs in up to 50 patients. Female gender must be considered an independent risk factor for the incidence and severity of associated heart failure. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that dose-dependent anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity has a measurable effect on T2 mapping on MRI. The second aim is to demonstrate if the combination of diastolic strain (echo and MRI) and T2 mapping can detect earlier anthracycline-induced myocardial damage than via the established method of the echocardiographic measurement of LV-EF and the conventional quantification of diastolic function.
An observational, prospective study to describe the rates and predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with acute leukemia.
Prospective single arm study to evaluate a low-dose CT-based protocol for early detection of myocardial dysfunction in 50 cancer patients undergoing anthracycline-based chemotherapy.
The Prefect Pilot Study evaluates the use of the EC approved MyoStrain SENC CMR Imaging System to detect cardiotoxicity from drugs used to treat cancer (e.g. Breast Cancer and Lymphomas).
Treatments-related cardiotoxicity is a critical issue in long term lymphoma survivors, particularly at young age, and its early identification is important to prevent clinically relevant cardiac events. Complete echocardiographic assessment including 2-dimension global longitudinal strain (2D-GLS), seems to be an effective tools in detecting preclinical systolic changes to the cardiac function even when the ejection fraction is preserved. The aim of Cardiocare study is to investigate early detection of subclinical chemo and radiation-induced changes in left ventricular function using 2D-GLS.
Prevention and early detection of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity in children with bone tumors and Acute Myeloid Leukemia by giving capoten
Selective estrogen receptor modulators and aromatase inhibitors for the treatment of breast cancer seems to have an impact on the cardio-vascular system. This study investigates reports of cardiovascular toxicities for treatment including Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification: L02 in the European pharmacovigilance database, Eudravigilance.
Abiraterone associated with prednisone is used in prostate cancer. Abiraterone is a selective small-molecule inhibiting cytochrome P450 17A1 (CYP17A1), a key enzyme in androgen synthesis. CYP17A inhibition is also responsible for mineral corticosteroid related adverse events as hypokaliemia, fluid retention, and hypertension. Primary hyperaldosteronism is associated with cardiovascular toxicities such as atrial fibrillation and cardiac failure. Other androgen-deprivation therapies are not associated with increased mineral corticosteroid level. This study investigates reports of cardiovascular toxicities for treatment including L02 (sex hormones used in treatment of neoplastic diseases), and G03 (sex hormones) used in prostate cancer in the French pharmacovigilance database and in the EudraCT database.
CAROLE seeks to evaluate the relationship between chest Radiation Therapy and coronary artery disease. The purpose of CAROLE is to check the heart health of women who received breast cancer treatments in the past and protect them from future heart disease.
Anti-androgenic therapies relying on peripheral and/or central blockade for the treatment of prostate cancer seems to have an impact on the cardio-vascular system. This study investigates reports of cardiovascular toxicities for treatment including Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification: sex hormones (G03), hypothalamic hormones (H01C) and sex hormones used in treatment of neoplastic diseases (L02) in the French pharmacovigilance database and European Clinical Trials (EudraCT) database.
