Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
Researchers are trying to determine the side effects on the heart from immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment in patients with cancer.
Interventions
Positron emission tomography-computed tomography is an image test that helps show detail about how tissues and organs are functioning.
A radioactive drug (tracer) is used in the PET scan.
Sponsors
Study design
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* First time administration of ICI * Willing and able to return in 4-6 weeks for follow-up study * Patients with previous heart conditions included (while this may impact MFR the delta MFR is what we are assessing)
Exclusion criteria
* Age \< 18 years * Women who are pregnant, or breast-feeding. * Unable or unwilling to give consent to undergo PET/CT.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Microvascular Damage/Endothelial Dysfunction | 6 weeks | Number of subjects to develop microvascular damage/endothelial dysfunction as determined by the PET/CT scan. PET-CT MFR used to assess dynamic changes in MFR that occur pre and post initiation of ICI and thereby potentially identify early cardiotoxicity in patients who might be more prone to more devastating IRAEs such as myocarditis. |
