New study aims to catch heart risks early in cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT07058454
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 5,000 cancer patients receiving chemotherapy or targeted drugs to watch for heart-related side effects. Researchers use regular heart tests and blood markers to detect problems early. The goal is to create a system that predicts and prevents serious heart events, while also tracking how these side effects affect patients' quality of life.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population comprises adult cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy (including those receiving molecular targeted agents as part of therapy) at included centers (and collaborating centers) between June 1, 2025 and June 30, 2027. Eligible patients include those with any malignant solid tumor or hematologic malignancy who are starting a planned course of postoperative (adjuvant) chemotherapy. Enrollment will be consecutive and non-selective - all patients meeting inclusion criteria (and no exclusion criteria) in the participating centers during the accrual window will be invited to participate. Patients are typically enrolled at the time of initiation of chemotherapy, with baseline cardiovascular assessments performed prior to or at the first cycle of treatment. The cohort will be followed prospectively through their chemotherapy course and for up to 6 months after completion of therapy.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1.Adults (age \> 18 years) with a pathologically confirmed malignant tumor (any type of cancer); 2.Currently receiving or planning to receive chemotherapy (including regimens containing molecular targeted drugs) as adjuvant treatment for cancer; 3.Willing and able to participate in the study with provision of informed consent, and agreeable to provide required clinical data and biological samples. \- Exclusion Criteria: 1. Incomplete basic patient information or medical records (missing key data necessary for the study); 2. Failure to complete the full course of planned chemotherapy at the study center (e.g., patient did not adhere to or finish all cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy at our institution); 3. History of severe acute cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events within 6 months prior to enrollment, including acute heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, acute intracerebral hemorrhage (stroke), malignant arrhythmia, or New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV/V heart failure; 4. Missing essential pre- or post-chemotherapy evaluations: patients who did not undergo complete baseline or end-of-treatment assessments (such as blood routine, hepatic/renal function, coagulation profile, cardiac enzymes (troponin T), NT-proBNP (or BNP), 12-lead ECG, and echocardiogram)
