About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study to See if Cardiac Effects of Herceptin Can be Prevented With Standard Heart Medications

While trastuzumab has been shown to prevent recurrences of breast cancer, some women may also experience damage to their heart muscle (including heart failure) as a result of their treatment. The investigators hope to learn if standard medications used in heart failure can prevent heart damage caused by trastuzumab in women with breast cancer. The investigators would also like to know if there are any ways to detect this damage earlier using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and blood tests.

Read the detailed description

We propose a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study evaluating the efficacy of an ACE-inhibitor (perindopril) or a beta blocker (bisoprolol) for the prevention of LV remodeling among women with early breast cancer scheduled for chemotherapy and one year of trastuzumab. Participants will undergo cardiac MRI at baseline and 3 and 12 months, replacing the usual MUGA, as well as a post-treatment cardiac MRI at 24 months to evaluate long-term effect.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary objective is to determine if conventional heart failure pharmacotherapy can prevent trastuzumab-mediated left ventricular (LV) remodeling among women with HER2+ early breast cancer.

    Measured: 3.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study of Breast Cancer and Heart Failure, run by University of Alberta at 1 site in Canada.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2016. 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 Canada. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 primary objective is to determine if conventional heart failure pharmacotherapy can prevent trastuzumab-mediated left ventricular (LV) remodeling among women with HER2+ early breast cancer. (time frame: 3.5 years). 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 NCT01016886, 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 2016.
