Can a simple blood test predict heart trouble in childhood cancer survivors?
NCT ID NCT05705531
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at how certain blood cell changes (called clonal hematopoiesis) after Hodgkin lymphoma treatment might be linked to later heart problems. Researchers will test blood samples from 190 survivors who received chemotherapy as children or young adults. The goal is to find out if these blood changes can help doctors identify who needs closer heart monitoring.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patient must be \>= 7 years of age at the time of enrollment (age to perform an MRI without sedation). * History of pathologically confirmed classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) initially diagnosed when the patient was \>= 2 and \< 22 years of age. * As part of frontline therapy for cHL, the patient must have received a cumulative doxorubicin equivalent anthracycline dose of ≥ 200 mg/m\^2 as estimated in doxorubicin isotoxic equivalents dose conversion calculation. * Note: History of COG therapeutic trial participation is not required. Institutional records (e.g., clinic note, treatment summary, chemotherapy roadmap) can be used as reference documentation of receipt of anthracycline dose. * All systemic cancer treatment must have been completed ≥ 2 years prior to study enrollment. * Not known to have had a primary event (relapse/second malignancy/death). * Note: Subjects treated at another institution are eligible if they are now being followed at the current COG institution, if the study procedures can be performed and the data accessible by a COG institution where the study is open. * Patient must have access to cardiac MRI at the enrolling institution and must be able to complete cardiac MRI without sedation. Exclusion Criteria: * Medical contraindication to undergoing a non-contrast cardiac MRI. * Patients with nodular lymphocyte-predominant HL. * Received cancer therapy in addition to that for primary Hodgkin Disease (e.g., for disease progression or recurrence, or subsequent malignant neoplasm). * History of CTCAE grade 3 or higher cardiovascular disease or condition known to exist prior to the patient's initial diagnosis of cHL. * Note: exceptions are made for congenital conditions considered fully resolved by surgery and chronic conditions such as hypertension or hypercholesterolemia that are managed with medical intervention. * History of an immunodeficiency that existed prior to cHL diagnosis, such as primary immunodeficiency syndromes, organ transplant recipients and conditions requiring systemic immunosuppressive agents.
