Vascular Cardiotoxicity of Ponatinib

Conditions
Cardiotoxicity
Registration Number
NCT03930394
Lead Sponsor
Oregon Health and Science University
Brief Summary

Pre-clinical studies suggest that the third generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor ponatinib can result in microvascular angiopathy and acceleration of atherosclerosis. This study is intended to examine for myocardial microvascular angiopathy and changes in carotid plaque in patients receiving ponatinib as part of their clinical care.

Detailed Description

In this study, we will perform serial echocardiography for ventricular function, myocardial contrast echocardiography for microvascular perfusion assessment, blood analysis for myocardial injury, and carotid US for plaque or IMT progression in subjects receiving ponatinib. This series of tests is intended to provide information on the presence of clinically-evident or subclinical microvascular angiopathy and plaque acceleration.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Carotid plaque size12 months

Changes in IMT or plaque size

Presence versus absence of any myocardial perfusion defect assessed by visual analysis for any abnormalities of microvascular flux rate (beta function) or microvascular blood volume during an infusion of ultrasound microbubble contrast agents.12 months

Contrast ultrasound perfusion imaging will be performed using power-modulation imaging and infusion of an ultrasound contrast agent. Destruction replenishment kinetics will be assessed visually by examination of delayed replenishment of signal intensity (\>5 seconds) after a high-mechanical index burst sequence, or abnormalities in plateau intensity reflecting regional abnormalities in myocardial microvascular blood volume.
