About this study

Official title: Strain-based vs. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction-based Cardiotoxicity Prevention Strategy in Patients With Breast Cancer Who Treated With Adjuvant Trastuzumab

Comparing preventive effect of myocardial global longitudinal strain-based cardioprotective stragety (angiotensin receptor blocker prophylaxis) with left ventricular ejection fraction-based strategy in breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant trastuzumab.

Read the detailed description

Despite the left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) enables early prediction of trastuzumab-related cardiomyopathy, its clinical application has been hampered due to the lack of appropriate evaluation and treatment strategies. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effect of early intervention strategy (GLS-based cardiotoxicity monitoring and administration of candesartan) by comparing with conventional intervention strategy (left ventricular ejection fraction-based cardiotoxicity monitoring and administration of candesartan) in breast cancer patients who treated with adjuvant trastuzumab.

What participants receive

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

  • CandesartanDrug

    If GLS decreased less than 18% or LVEF decreased to 45-50% during the treatment of adjuvant trastuzumab, start candesartan medication.

Study groups in NCT04429633
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Conventional Cardiac interventionActive comparatorStarting candesartan in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) between 45% and 50% by echocardiogram.
Receives: Drug: Candesartan
Early Cardiac interventionActive comparatorStarting candesartan in patients with decreased myocardial strain below 18% regardless of LVEF by echocardiogram.
Receives: Drug: Candesartan

What is being measured

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

  1. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)

    Maximum change in LVEF

    Measured: at months 3,6,9,12,18

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overt chemotherapy induced cardiotoxicity

    LVEF < 45%, decline in LVEF by >10% to a value to 45-49%, symptomatic congestive heart failure

    Measured: any time

  2. Changes in cardiac biomarker

    NT-pro BNP, cardiac troponin

    Measured: at months 3,6,9,12,18

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Candesartan in people with Cardiotoxicity and Breast Cancer, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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 12 Jun 2020. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yeon Hee Park, MD, PhD (+82-2-3410-3450, yeonh.park@samsung.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (time frame: at months 3,6,9,12,18). 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 12 Jun 2020.
