Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized cancer treatment and are now approved for various types of cancer. The most common side effects of ICI are immune-related adverse events which can affect any organ or system in the body. Recently, concerns have also risen about cardiovascular effects of ICI. Retrospective studies showed an 4-5 times increased risk of developing an arterial thromboembolic event. The mechanisms driving the ICI-associated risks of arterial thromboembolic events such as myocardial infarction and stroke, are unclear. Since the risk of a thromboembolism appears to be increased already during the first months after initiation of ICI, immune-related hypercoagulability or (autoimmune) antiphospholipid antibodies may play a role, but data to support this are lacking. The longer-term risk of arterial thromboembolism may be predominantly driven by (accelerated) atherosclerosis, a chronic low-grade inflammatory disease of the larger arteries. Therefore, this study evaluates the effect of ICI on progression of coronary non-calcifid plaque volume by using computed tomography angiography (CCTA).

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT06519292 |
|
Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
