Trial overview
Official title: Cohort study to document background rates of hypertension and Liver Function Test (LFT) elevations in users of Tyrosine Kinase inhibiting drugs-Varian Oncology Database
Trial description: A retrospective cohort study using the Varian Medical Oncology database will be performed to address these objectives. The primary objective of this project is to examine the background rates of hypertension and liver function test (LFT) abnormalities in cancer patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The secondary objective is to examine the rates of the following outcomes in this patient population: thromboembolic events (venous and arterial), hemorrhagic events, renal failure/renal insufficiency, adrenal insufficiency, hand and foot syndrome, hypothyroidism, mucositis, bowel perforation, and other lab abnormalities (pancreatic enzyme elevations, creatinine, and cytopenias).

Allocation:

Primary outcomes:
Incidence rate of new onset hypertension among patients with normal BP at baseline. Hypertension defined as either systolic BP >150 mmHg or diastolic BP increases to >100 mmHg during follow-up.
Timeframe: The period from the index date (date of first TKI use) to the last visit before the database cut-off (July 31, 2008).
Secondary outcomes: 
Incidence rate of elevated LFT among patients with normal LFT at baseline. Elevations defined at various upper limit of normal thresholds. Maximum elevation attained and proportion of patients returning to normal on and off TKI exposure also described.
Timeframe: The period from the index date (date of first TKI use) to the last visit before the database cut-off (July 31, 2008).
