Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Enalapril maleate may help protect heart cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Enalapril on Doxorubicin Exposure in Adjuvant Breast Cancer Treatment

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Enalapril maleate may help protect heart cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether giving enalapril maleate before or after doxorubicin hydrochloride is more effective in treating women with breast cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying giving enalapril maleate together with doxorubicin hydrochloride to see how well it works in treating women with breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

This study is a drug interaction study designed to study the effects of enalapril on doxorubicin metabolism. Women with breast cancer for whom at least two cycles every 14 day doxorubicin is planned will be considered for enrollment. Study participation will be for 2 treatment cycles of doxorubicin or approximately 4 weeks. Patients will receive a 14 day course of daily enalapril in association with one cycle of doxorubicin and receive no study agent during the other cycle allowing patients to act as their own control. The sequence of enalapril dosing will be assigned by randomization at study enrollment. Blood samples for pharmacokinetics will be drawn before and at 7 time points after each of the two doses of doxorubicin. For each patient, serum doxorubicin and doxorubicinol concentrations both on and off of enalapril will be compared.

What participants receive

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

  • doxorubicin hydrochlorideDrug

    Also called Adriamycin

    Given IV 5-10 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 14 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

  • enalapril maleateDrug

    Also called Vasotec

    Given orally - Beginning 1 week before course 2, patients also receive oral enalapril maleate once daily until day 8 of course 2. OR Beginning 1 week before course 1, patients receive oral enalapril maleate once daily until day 8 of course 1.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients With Doxorubicin Plasma Concentrations Demonstrating a Significant Increase or Decrease When Doxorubicin Was Given With Enalapril as Compared to When Doxorubicin Was Given Without Enalapril.

    Doxorubicin plasma concentration (DPC) is the primary pharmacokinetic (PK) measure of the exposure. Each patient will have serial PKs performed twice - once with enalapril and once without enalapril. A mean increase or decrease of more than 115 ng/ml in DPC will be considered significant.

    Measured: Baseline, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 24.0 and 48.0 hours after infusion of doxorubicin

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The Number of Participants With a Significant Increase or Decrease in the Baseline Levels of Btype Natriuretic Peptide, Cardiac Troponins, and Urine Microalbumin With or Without Enalapril

    Doxorubicin can induce changes in troponin, b-type natriuretic peptide and urine microalbumin. This analysis will determine whether enalapril prevents any of these changes. Statistical significance defined as a p < 0.05.

    Measured: Baseline, 4, 24 and 48 hours after infusion of doxorubicin

  2. The Number of Participants With a Significant Increase or Decrease in Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Metabolite Levels With or Without Enalapril

    Doxorubicin is metabolized to doxorubicinol. The effects of enalapril on doxorubicinol will be assessed. Statistical significance defined as a p < 0.05.

    Measured: Baseline, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 24.0 and 48.0 hours after infusion of doxorubicin

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing doxorubicin hydrochloride and enalapril maleate in people with Breast Cancer, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota at 2 sites 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 8 inclusion and 5 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 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 May 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Patients With Doxorubicin Plasma Concentrations Demonstrating a Significant Increase or Decrease When Doxorubicin Was Given With Enalapril as Compared to When Doxorubicin Was Given Without Enalapril. (time frame: Baseline, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 24.0 and 48.0 hours after infusion of doxorubicin). 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.
