Filter by:This study evaluates why some cancer patients but not others experience changes in heart function following treatment with chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether dapagliflozin reduces chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity in participants with breast cancer treated with (neo-)adjuvant Anthracycline-based chemotherapy +/- trastuzumab. The study aims to describe the efficacy for dapagliflozin as compared to standard of care. Participants will be recruited in participating centers, where they are planning on starting (neo-) adjuvant ACT-based chemotherapy and/or trastuzumab for stage I-III breast cancer.
Trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity (TIC) will be monitored in patients with HER2+ breast cancer undergoing trastuzumab treatment before and after breast cancer surgery. At baseline before start of trastuzumab treatment, echocardiography (ECHO)/multigated Acquisition Scan (MUGA) and measurement of plasma NT-proBNP will be performed. NT-proBNP will be measured again at 6 months and at 12 months of trastuzumab treatment. If elevations in NT-proBNP at 6 months and 12 months occur patients will be referred for ECHO/MUGA. The aim is to assess the sensitivity and specificity to detect TIC with NT-proBNP and whether ECHO/MUGA can be safely replaced by assessment of plasma NT-proBNP levels.
This is an interventional study for patients who had developed Anthracycline-Induced Cardiotoxicity (AIC) during or after anthracycline-containing therapy, referred to the Cardioncology Unit for heart failure treatment
TRUST-ACE will compare a simplified echocardiographic protocol focusing on ventricular function with the guideline recommended comprehensive echocardiographic examination using a randomised design in follow-up of breast-cancer patients with respect to identification of cancer treatment related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). Secondly, the study will evaluate whether novel tools used to improve standardization of recordings as well as automated measurements of central measurements, e.g. ejection fraction (EF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) can improve the precision of echocardiography in daily clinical practice.
This multicenter clinical study aims to build an intelligent and accurate diagnosis and dynamic prediction and early warning model of cardiotoxicity due to anthracycline-based breast cancer chemotherapy, clarify the value of the early warning model in guiding the targeted prevention of myocardial protection, providing an important theoretical basis for reducing the mortality rate of breast cancer and improving the prognosis.
This study aimed to investigate the role of impedance cardiography (ICG) in evaluating hemodynamic changes during the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) who underwent combined concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and immunotherapy. Additionally, It sought to analyze the predictive significance of cardiac parameters to both treatment toxicity and survival prognosis.
This study aims to compare the effects of aerobic exercise with or without addition of resistance exercise to usual care in individuals treated with anthracyclines for lymphomas and to compare exercise effects to age- and sex-matched individuals with no prior history of malignant diseases.
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Shengmai San in preventing anthracycline sequential trastuzumab therapy related cardiac toxicity through a prospective randomized controlled study.
Cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) is when the heart's ability to pump oxygenated blood to the body is compromised. It is a side effect of cancer therapy which can occur as commonly as in 1 in 5 patients. When this occurs, heart failure medications are started to protect the heart from progressing to heart failure. With early detection and treatment, heart function recovers to normal in >80% of patients. Unfortunately, heart failure medications are associated with an undesirable long-term pill burden, financial costs, and side-effects (e.g., dizziness and fatigue). As a result, cancer survivors frequently ask if they can safely stop their heart failure medications once their heart function has returned to normal. Currently there is no scientific evidence in this area of Cardio-Oncology. To address this knowledge gap, the investigators have designed a randomized control trial to assess the safety of stopping heart failure medication in patients with CTRCD and recovered heart function. The investigators will enrol patients who have completed their cancer therapy and are on heart medications for their CTRCD, which has now normalized. The investigators will randomize patients with no other reasons to continue heart failure medications (e.g., kidney disease) to continuing or stopping their heart medications safely. All patients will undergo a cardiac MRI at baseline, 1 and 5 years with safety assessments at 6-8 weeks, 6 and 9 months and 3 and 5 years. The investigators will determine if stopping medications is non-inferior to continuing medications by counting the numbers of patients who develop heart dysfunction by 1 year in each group.
