Conditions

Cancer

Brief summary

Researchers are trying to determine the side effects on the heart from immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment in patients with cancer.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTPET/CT

Positron emission tomography-computed tomography is an image test that helps show detail about how tissues and organs are functioning.

DRUGradioactive drug (tracer)

A radioactive drug (tracer) is used in the PET scan.

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

MeasureTime frameDescription
Microvascular Damage/Endothelial Dysfunction6 weeksNumber 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.

Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI)
Subjects diagnosed with cancer and will be receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors as treatment standard of care will have a PET/CT scan before and after therapy. PET/CT scan is done for study purposes only.
