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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.
