Could a home device spot heart trouble in childhood cancer survivors?

NCT ID NCT05138991

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests a portable, self-administered device that measures heart function in childhood cancer survivors, who are at risk for heart problems from past treatments. Researchers will compare the device's accuracy and ease of use in the clinic and at home against standard hospital tests like echocardiograms and MRIs. The goal is to see if this simpler approach can detect early signs of heart trouble effectively.

Active substance

SphygmoCor® Xcel and Oscar 2™ ambulatory blood pressure monitor

What this could lead to

If successful, this portable system could allow childhood cancer survivors to easily monitor their heart health at home, catching problems earlier than current methods.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study focused on accuracy and reproducibility, not treatment. The device may not prove reliable enough to replace standard hospital tests.
