Chest radiation study using a wearable to watch heart rhythm
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a way to adjust radiation doses for people getting chest radiation, using a wearable device to watch for heart rhythm problems. It aims to reduce the chance of irregular heartbeats after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a solid tumor cancer (not a blood cancer) that needs radiation treatment to your chest.
- Your doctor expects you to live longer than about 4 months.
- You must be age 20 or older.
- You should be able to manage daily activities (up and about, but not necessarily fully active).
- Your doctor must consider your risk of heart problems from radiation to be moderate or high (not low).
- You can understand and sign a consent form, and you must not have had chest radiation before.
- You must not already have an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) diagnosed.

This study uses wearable heart monitors to check for heart problems during cancer treatment. Participants wear a small patch that tracks their heart rhythm, helping doctors detect issues early.
This trial tests a new device that monitors heart health during cancer treatment. It uses a simple on-body sensor alongside your regular echocardiogram to see if it can detect heart changes early.
This trial tests whether common heart medicines (statins or ACE-inhibitors) can protect the heart during cancer radiation therapy. It is for adults who are about to start chest radiation and have not taken these drugs before.
This trial asks people getting radiation therapy for lung cancer to use a wearable device and smartphone app to track their activity and symptoms. The goal is to learn how this treatment affects patients day-to-day.
This study tests if using a wearable activity tracker during radiation therapy can help reduce hospitalizations. It may help you stay healthier during treatment.
This study looks at whether information from wearable devices can help doctors better care for patients receiving chemotherapy and radiation together. It aims to improve treatment and quality of life.
