AI may predict heart risk in cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07191730
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to develop a machine learning tool to predict heart damage in 600 cancer patients receiving certain chemotherapy drugs (anthracyclines or HER2-targeted therapies). Researchers will collect data over one year to see who develops heart problems. The goal is to create a more accurate risk score than current methods, helping doctors identify high-risk patients early.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a better way to identify which cancer patients are at high risk of heart problems from their treatment, allowing for closer monitoring or preventive measures.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The machine learning model may not prove accurate enough for widespread use, and results may not apply to all patient groups.

Who is studied
Patients with cancer scheduled to receive anthracyclines and/or HER2-targeted therapy, referred to cardio-oncology clinics in 15 participating French centers for a baseline pre-treatment evaluation and planned follow-up. Consecutive eligible patients will be enrolled over a 12-month inclusion period, with a 12-month follow-up.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years * Planned follow-up in cardio-oncology clinic as part of a baseline pre-treatment evaluation before a sequence of anthracycline and/or HER2-targeted therapy, according to the 2022 ESC recommendations * Inclusion regardless of prior exposure to potentially cardiotoxic anticancer therapies or thoracic radiotherapy Exclusion Criteria: * Patients not covered by the French national health insurance system (Sécurité Sociale) * Patients for whom 12-month follow-up is planned outside the center performing the baseline pre-treatment evaluation
