What participants receive

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

  • Cardiac MRIOther

    The examinations will be conducted on an MRI with a dedicated antenna heart, by a physician with expertise in cardiac MRI.

    After establishing a good quality ECG synchronization, the following sequences are carried out successively:

    • Sequences locating anatomical
    • T2 black blood (such as ESF)
    • rapid sequence of cine-MRI (such as balanced FFE) vertical and horizontal long axis and short axis of the base to the apex
    • T1-weighted sequence with inversion recovery for the assessment of possible consequences of cell damage.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportions of late enhancement in patients with LV dysfunction as Herceptin ® and in a control group consisting of patients who did not have LV dysfunction after 6 months under the same treatment.

    A cardiac MRI is considered positive if demonstrated a late hyperintense from 15 to 20 minutes after injection of gadolinium chelate, whatever its size, topography subepicardial (intramyocardial) and without vascular systematization.

    The primary endpoint is the proportion of delayed enhancement in the LV dysfunction group and the control group.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Proportion of patients recovering at 6 months in the absence of late enhancement signal in MRI heart after injection of gadolinium and compare the results of biological assays

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cardiac MRI in people with Cancer, Breast and LV Dysfunction, run by Centre Francois Baclesse at 4 sites in France.

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 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. 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 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: lack of recruitment). 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?

Proportions of late enhancement in patients with LV dysfunction as Herceptin ® and in a control group consisting of patients who did not have LV dysfunction after 6 months under the same treatment. (time frame: 2 years). 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 28 Jul 2017.
