A Study About How Blood Cell Growth Patterns Relate to Heart Health After Treatment for Hodgkin Lymphoma
United States, Canada190 participantsStarted 2023-08-18
Plain-language summary
This study assesses how blood cell growth patterns (clonal hematopoiesis) relate to heart health or cardiovascular disease (CVD) after treatment in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. In some patients, cancer treatment at a young age may lead to later complications, including problems with heart health. Checking for blood cell growth patterns called therapy-related clonal hematopoiesis (t-CH) can help predict who might be at risk for heart health problems after Hodgkin lymphoma treatment. If doctors know who may be at greater risk for developing later heart complications, then they can more closely monitor those patients to prevent or detect heart complications early.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
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 progress…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
