About this study

To identify patients that are at risk of heart damage after receiving chemotherapy (adriamycin).

Read the detailed description

To identify patients at risk of development of heart damage after receiving chemotherapy by obtaining the genetic profile of those who show: elevation of troponin, left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction, and pro-oxidant stress markers.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group APatients receiving chemotherapy (anthracycline and/or adjuvant trastuzumab) for the first time

What is being measured

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

  1. The genetic profile of patients with anthracycline-induced elevation of troponin-I

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Assess the genetic profile of patient with anthracycline-induced left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction

    Measured: one year

  2. Assess the relationship of quantitative increases of pro-oxidant stress and a specific genetic profile

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer, run by George Washington University at 1 site in United States.

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 13 Mar 2013. 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 United States. 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.

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?

The genetic profile of patients with anthracycline-induced elevation of troponin-I (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 13 Mar 2013.
