Trial summary

This is a randomized controlled trial. 80 patients with thoracic radiotherapy will be included. Participants will be randomly divided into experimental group or control group. Before radiotherapy, echocardiography, 2D STE, CK, CK-MB, cTnT, NT-proBNP, electrocardiogram (ECG), and hs-CRP will be detected. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Trimetazidine on Radiotherapy-induced Heart Damage in Lung Tumor Patients Treated With Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy.

This is a randomized controlled trial. 80 patients with thoracic radiotherapy will be included. Participants will be randomly divided into experimental group or control group. Before radiotherapy, echocardiography, 2D STE, CK, CK-MB, cTnT, NT-proBNP, electrocardiogram (ECG), and hs-CRP will be detected. During subsequent follow-up, echocardiography, 2D STE, CK, CK-MB, cTnT, NT-proBNP, ECG, and hs-CRP will be collected at every follow-up time.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized controlled trial. 80 patients with thoracic radiotherapy will be included in Peking University Third Hospital from May 15, 2021 to August 31, 2022. Participants will be randomly divided into experimental group or control group. Before radiotherapy, echocardiography, 2D STE, CK, CK-MB, cTnT, NT-proBNP, electrocardiogram (ECG), and hs-CRP will be detected. All participants will be followed up after completion of RT, 3 months after RT, 6 months after RT, and 12 months after RT. During subsequent follow-up, echocardiography, 2D STE, CK, CK-MB, cTnT, NT-proBNP, ECG, and hs-CRP will be collected at every follow-up time.

What is being measured

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

  1. global longitudinal strain-A parameter of two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography

    The primary outcome of the trial was a decrease in global longitudinal strain ≥10%.

    Measured: pre-radiotherapy, 12 months after radiotherapy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rate of major adverse cardiovascular events

    Proportion of patients with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in total participants. MACE was defined as unstable angina, new arrhythmia, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, valvular heart disease, acute pericarditis, and cardiac death in this study.

    Measured: pre-radiotherapy, after completion of radiotherapy, 3 months after radiotherapy, 6 months after radiotherapy, and 12 months after radiotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Trimetazidine in people with Cardiotoxicity, run by Peking University Third Hospital.

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 1 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 25 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Contact Dan Zhu, doctor (+8613810103532, Andrea_zhu@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

global longitudinal strain-A parameter of two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (time frame: pre-radiotherapy, 12 months after radiotherapy). 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 25 Jun 2021.
