CARING Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new way to monitor heart arrhythmias in people taking medication that could cause heart complications. Results will be compared to the standard ECG test.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with acute promyelocytic leukemia starting arsenic trioxide treatment, or those with solid tumors beginning capecitabine. Participants must not be allergic to adhesive patches and should be able to understand and sign a consent form.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the BodyGuardian Mini Plus, a continuous patch monitoring system for cardiac arrhythmias, against standard ECGs in patients taking drugs that may affect the heart.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are likely related to skin irritation due to the adhesive on the BodyGuardian Mini Plus patch. There might also be discomfort from wearing the device continuously.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Continuous patch monitoring systemExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
-Participants will receive standard of care treatment with either arsenic trioxide, ribociclib, or capecitabine. They will have continuous patch monitor system (BodyGuardian Mini Plus) applied on or prior to the first day of therapy and will receive at least 5 ECGs for comparison during the first 30 days of treatment.
