Development and Progression of Carcinoid Heart Disease in a Cohort of Adult Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumors (CRUSOE-NETs)

April 6, 2018 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Development and Progression of Carcinoid Heart Disease in a Cohort of Adult Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumors Carcinoid Heart Disease (CHD): An Observational French Multi-Centre Cohort Study CRUSOE - NETs (CaRdiac UltraSonic OutcomEs - NETs)

Carcinoid Heart Disease (CHD) is a rare form of heart disease, occurring in over 50% of the patients with carcinoid syndrome. Pathophysiology, prognostic factors of development of Carcinoid Heart Disease and progression of disease remain unclear.

This observational multicenter cohort study is designed to study the occurrence of Carcinoid Heart Disease in patients with differentiated carcinoid tumors, to describe numerous factors influencing the occurrence, severity, progression and long-term survival of patients with Carcinoid Heart Disease. Basic informations and detailed diagnosis informations (oncological and cardiac parameters), are collected by professional doctors. Clinical outcomes (onset of Carcinoid Heart Disease, cardiac surgery, related death) will be followed up every year or every six/three months if clinically indicated.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

16 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Adult patients with metastatic well-differentiated ileum or bronchial neuroendocrine tumor, adult patients with carcinoid syndrome and/or urinary 5HIAA > 2 fold the upper limit of normal regardless the primary site of the tumor, and therefore likely to develop Carcinoid Heart Disease (CHD).

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients over 18 years
  • Patients followed in a NeuroEndocrine Tumor center with a reference cardiologist
  • Patient with:

    • Histologically documented metastatic well-differentiated ileum neuroendocrine tumor or
    • Histologically documented metastatic well-differentiated bronchial neuroendocrine tumor, or
    • Histologically documented well differentiated neuroendocrine tumor, regardless of the primitive site or unknown primitive site and presenting a carcinoid syndrome and / or an elevation of urinary 5HIAA > 2 fold the upper limit of normal range
  • Information given to the patient and his documented non-opposition

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma
  • Patient unable / unwilling to follow the cardiac monitoring recommended by good practice data
  • Any medical, geographical, sociological, psychological or legal situation that does not allow the patient to complete the study

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Patients with or at risk of carcinoid heart disease
  • Adult patients with well-differentiated metastatic ileum or bronchial neuroendocrine tumor
  • Adult patients with carcinoid syndrome or elevated urinary 5HIAA regardless of primary site

Patient at high risk of Carcinoid Heart Disease (metastatic ileum or bronchial well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors, patients with high level of urinary 5HIAA or with carcinoid syndrome) are followed with annual echocardiography to detect the occurrence of carcinoid heart disease.

In case of documented Carcinoid Heart Disease, a six or three months' cardiac follow-up is necessary to evaluate the progression and the severity of the disease.

Investigators collect the data of clinical parameters (flushes, diarrhea, …) biological parameters (urinary 5HIAA, NT-ProBNP …) and cardiac parameters that may influence the occurrence, severity and progression of Carcinoid Heart Disease.
