Clinical Trial Summary

PROACT will establish the effectiveness of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) enalapril maleate (enalapril) in preventing cardiotoxicity in patients with breast cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma undergoing adjuvant epirubicin-based chemotherapy.


Clinical Trial Description

PROACT is a phase 3 randomised, open label, blinded endpoint, superiority trial of enalapril to prevent anthracycline-induced in patients treated for breast cancer and lymphoma. Anthracyclines used in the treatment of breast cancer cause damage to heart muscle cells; this results in cell death (cardiotoxicity). In UK contemporary practice, epirubicin is the most frequently used anthracycline. Patients due to receive adjuvant anthracycline chemotherapy (planned epirubicin dose >300mg/m2) for breast cancer at four specialist centres in the North of England will be invited to participate. 170 eligible patients will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio, to either enalapril plus usual care or to usual care. Enalapril will be commenced prior to the first anthracycline dose, titrated to a maximum tolerated dose, and continued during chemotherapy. Chemotherapy will continue per usual care; typically six treatment cycles. Patients will have a blood test performed at the end of each chemotherapy cycle to measure cardiac troponin, and at one month following the last epirubicin dose. Investigators and patients will be blinded to the troponin results. Patients will have an echocardiogram at baseline and following their chemotherapy; they will be assessed in a blinded manner by a central Core Laboratory. ;
