Cardiotoxicity, Gastrointestinal Neoplasms

Keywords

Fluoropyrimidine, Cardiotoxicity, Cardio-oncology

Brief summary

Observational prospective cohort study designed for patients with gastrointestinal cancers receiving a fluoropyrimidine based chemotherapy regimen.

Detailed description

All enrolled participants will undergo baseline cardiovascular risk assessment (using QRISK3 and SCORE 2 risk calculators), cardiac, oncological and medication history. All participants will have serial cardiac symptom assessment, 12 lead ECG and cardiac biomarker assessments(high sensitivity troponin T and NT pro BNP) at baseline, on completion of the first cycle of treatment and post completion of treatment. Participants will be followed up for the development of cardiotoxicity.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of fluoropyrimidine induced cardiotoxicity (FIC)12 monthsFluoropyrimidine induced cardiotoxicity defined as a composite of: * Types 1-3 myocardial infarction with troponin \>99th percentile upper limit, * Incident myocardial ischaemia (chest pain with or without new inducible perfusion abnormality on perfusion cardiac MRI, * Myocarditis (diagnosed as per European Society of Cardiology Consensus statement) * Incident heart failure (HF) diagnosis (symptoms with raised N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP )\> 400pg/ml or HF hospitalisation), * Incident arrhythmia (excluding isolated ectopy) or sudden cardiac death.
Relationship of baseline cardiovascular risk with FIC12 monthsBaseline cardiovascular risk assessed using QRISK3 cardiovascular risk calculator

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in cardiac biomarkers (high sensitivity troponin T)Assessed at baseline pre chemotherapy, after cycle 1 chemotherapy (46 hours for patients on 5-FU and day 14 for patients on capecitabine) and at end of treatment (at 6 weeks post completion)
Change in cardiac biomarkers (NT pro BNP)Assessed at baseline pre chemotherapy, after cycle 1 chemotherapy (46 hours for patients on 5-FU and day 14 for patients on capecitabine) and at end of treatment (at 6 weeks post completion)
Cardiovascular symptom assessmentAssessed at baseline pre chemotherapy, after cycle 1 chemotherapy (46 hours for patients on 5-FU and day 14 for patients on capecitabine) and at end of treatment (at 6 weeks post completion)Using modified seattle angina questionnaire
