PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: six months

Population: No analyzable data were available at six months due to participant withdrawal (n=1) and death (n=3) prior to repeat imaging.

Levels of 18F florbetapir cardiac uptake at onset of chemotherapy will be compared with levels after six months of chemotherapy on repeat imaging.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: twelve months

Population: None of the patients enrolled were able to complete the follow up 6 minute walk tests at 6 and 12 months so there is no data to compare.

Change in Distance covered on six minute walk test at onset of chemotherapy will be compared to distance covered after six months of chemotherapy Distance at onset vs six months will be correlated with changes in 18F florbetapir cardiac uptake on cardiac PET/CT imaging between 0 and 6 months. Overall change in distance walked during 6 minute walk prior to starting chemotherapy and after 12 months of chemotherapy will be compared to any changes in 18F florbetapir cardiac uptake on cardiac PET/CT imaging between 0 and 6 months.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Population: None of the patients enrolled were able to complete the labs for hematologic response and the follow up labs at 6 and 12 months so there is no data to compare.

correlation of hematologic response to treatment at 6 months and 18F florbetapir cardiac uptake changes between 0 and 6 months. Hematologic response after 12 months will also be compared to any changes in 18F florbetapir cardiac uptake between 0 and 6 months.

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Population: None of the patients enrolled were able to complete the labs for cardiac response and the follow up labs at 6 and 12 months so there is no data to compare.

Cardiac response as defined by changes in NT proBNP (N Terminal proBNP) levels and cardiac Troponin T levels will be correlated with changes in 18F florbetapir cardiac uptake between 0 and 6 months. Changes in Cardiac troponin T and NT pro BNP levels after 12 months will also be correlated with changes in 18F florbetapir cardiac uptake between 0 and 6 months.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Population: None of the patients enrolled were able to complete the patient related outcomes surveys and the follow up patient related outcomes survey at 6 and 12 months so there is no data to compare.

Correlation of hematologic response to results of patient related outcomes survey completed at 0, 6, and 12 months. Patient reported outcomes survey was developed using PROMIS short form v2.0-Physical Function 8b, PROMIS short form v1.0 Dyspnea Severity 10a, and PROMIS short form v1.0 Fatigue 8a. Measures used in the patient survey were obtained from the health measures website at www.healthmeasures.net/promis, which can be accessed for further information. Scale 1-5 with one being not at all and 5 being very likely.
