NCT01032278

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if certain biomarker testing on blood samples can help to detect heart damage that may occur during chemotherapy. Biomarkers are chemical "markers" found in the blood that may be related to heart function. High levels of these markers may be linked with heart problems such as heart damage.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Use of Cardiac Biomarkers, B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) and Troponin I (TnI), for Detecting Cardiotoxicity in Patients Undergoing Anthracycline-based Chemotherapy

    Cardiotoxicity defined as presentation of one or more cardiac events within 12 months of initiation of chemotherapy. Cardiac event defined as any new symptomatic cardiac arrhythmia, acute coronary syndrome, symptomatic HF, development of asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction (defined as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) reduction of 10% to less than 50% or a decrease of greater than 15% from baseline), or sudden cardiac death (defined as rapid and unexpected death from cardiac causes with or without known underlying heart disease). BNP greater than 200 pg/ml is considered abnormal. Troponin I greater than 0.4 ng/ml is also considered abnormal. Patients having at least one abnormal evaluation preceding cardiotoxicity for either biomarker (i.e., one abnormal troponin or one abnormal BNP assessments) classified as having an abnormal test. Primary analysis performed using data from all subjects with at least one post baseline biomarker measure for BNP and/or troponin I.

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Sensitivity and specificity of serial LVEF measurements in detecting cardiotoxicity

    12 months

  • Clinical management and outcomes of patients with abnormal cardiac biomarkers or clinically defined cardiotoxicity during chemotherapy

    12 months

  • Supportive utility of patient-reported symptoms for the development of cardiac-related toxicity

    12 months

Study Arms (1)

Cardiac Biomarker Testing

EXPERIMENTAL

Biomarker testing for cardiac biomarkers, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and Troponin I (TnI), and symptom questionnaires of participants undergoing anthracycline-based chemotherapy.

Other: Laboratory Biomarker AnalysisBehavioral: Questionnaires

Interventions

Blood drawn for biomarker analysis at baseline, before each chemotherapy visit, 6 months after starting chemotherapy, and 12 months after completion of chemotherapy.

Also known as: Biomarker Testing
Cardiac Biomarker Testing
QuestionnairesBEHAVIORAL

Symptom questionnaire completion at baseline, beginning of every third cycle of chemotherapy, 6 months after starting chemotherapy, and 12 months after completion of chemotherapy.

Also known as: Survey

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patient age 18 years or older
  • Starting a new course of chemotherapy that includes an anthracycline (does not have to be first-line therapy and previous anthracycline use is allowed)
  • Has a life expectancy greater than 12 months

You may not qualify if:

  • Unstable angina within the last 3 months of registration
  • Myocardial infarction within the last 3 months of registration
  • LVEF less than 50%
  • Patients receiving concurrent dexrazoxane
  • Decompensated Heart Failure in the last 3 months prior to registration
  • Prior symptomatic arrhythmia (within 3 months of study registration)
  • Severe pulmonary disease (FEV \</= 1.0 liters), and/or pulmonary hypertension (mean pulmonary artery pressure \>/=60mm Hg), and/or dependent use of oxygen
