About this study

Official title: The Multi-centers Trial for Patients With Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma to Assess the Protective Effect of Valsartan on Chronic Cardiotoxicity Induced by CHOP

The purpose of this study is to assess the protective effect of Valsartan on chronic cardiotoxicity induced by CHOP.

Read the detailed description

Doxorubicin has been one of the most important key drugs in treatment for malignancies. However, its use is limited by dose-dependent cumulative cardiotoxicity. This multi-centers trial was designed to investigate the preventive effect of Valsartan, the angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARB) on chronic cardiotoxicity due to doxorubicin based chemotherapy. Patients with untreated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who are scheduled to receive at least 6 courses of the standard CHOP (-R) will be randomized by the minimization methods to the treatment group with Valsartan (80mg once daily by oral during entire 6 courses of CHOP) or control group. Cardiac function will be evaluated in detail before and after 3 and 6 courses of CHOP (-R).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ValsartanDrug

    Also called Diovan

    Patients allocated into ARB administration group take Valsartan (80mg/day) from the day of the start of 1st CHOP until the completion of all the evaluations.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cardiac Event after 3rd and 6th course of CHOP(-R)

    Measured: Basically 14-21 (at a maximum 28) days after the start of 3rd and 6th course of CHOP(-R).

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes of ECG, UCG and serum markers after 3 and 6 courses of CHOP (-R)

    Measured: 14-21 (at a maximum 28) days after the start of 3rd and 6th course of CHOP(-R).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Valsartan in people with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, run by Osaka City University at 1 site in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cardiac Event after 3rd and 6th course of CHOP(-R) (time frame: Basically 14-21 (at a maximum 28) days after the start of 3rd and 6th course of CHOP(-R).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00162955, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 May 2012.
