Trial summary

In cancer patients, the increase of troponin I soon after chemotherapy is a strong predictor of left ventricular dysfunction and poor cardiologic outcome. This information provides a rationale for the development of prophylactic strategies directed against chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity (CTIC). Read more about this study

About this study

In cancer patients, the increase of troponin I soon after chemotherapy is a strong predictor of left ventricular dysfunction and poor cardiologic outcome. This information provides a rationale for the development of prophylactic strategies directed against chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity (CTIC). Activation of the renin-angiotensin system has been proved to be involved in the development and progression of cardiac dysfunction in several clinical settings, and has been suggested to have a role in the occurrence of CTIC. We investigated the role of treatment with ACE-inhibitors in the prevention of CTIC in high-risk cancer patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Enalapril in people with Cardiotoxicity and Chemotherapeutic Toxicity, run by European Institute of Oncology at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 9 Feb 2017. 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 Italy. 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?

Incidence of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity (time frame: 12 month period). 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 NCT00292526, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 9 Feb 2017.
