Prevention of Cardiac Dysfunction During Breast Cancer Therapy

PRevention of cArdiac Dysfunction During Adjuvant Breast Cancer Therapy: A Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Feb 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. The modern post-surgery treatment with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy has improved the overall 5-years survival drastically. However, an unwanted effect of the post-surgery treatment is its potentially deleterious effect on the heart resulting in cardiac dysfunction. Angiotensin antagonists are used as part of the heart failure treatment. In smaller studies angiotensin antagonists have shown to have a cardioprotective effect during breast cancer treatment. Sacubitril/valsartan is a potent drug that in addition to an angiotensin antagonist contains a neprilysin inhibitor. Sacubitril/valsartan has proved to be superior to enalapril in chronic heart failure. In this randomized placebo controlled double blind trial we hypothesize that sacubitril/valsartan used concomitantly during anthracycline containing chemotherapy for breast cancer treatment prevents cardiac dysfunction as measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). PRADA II is a Norwegian multicenter trial intending to recruit 214 patients and follow them for 18 months with CMR, cardiac ultrasound, blood samples, functional capacity tests and health related quality of life questionnaires.

What you commit to

  • Study type: Interventional · Phase 2
  • Participants enrolled: 138
  • From 31 Jan 2019 to the primary completion date, 5 Sept 2024
  • 4 sites in 1 country
  • Visits and tests: ask the trial team, the registry does not list them

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Contraindication to ACEI or ARB or sacubitril/valsartan, including previous hypersensitivity reaction, angioedema and renal artery stenosis
  • Participation in another pharmaceutical clinical trial of an investigational medicinal product (IMP) less than 4 weeks prior to inclusion or use of other investigational drugs within 5 halflives of enrollment, whichever is longer

Other illness

  • Uncontrolled hypertension
  • Acute myocardial infarction within the last three months
  • Clear indication for ACEI, ARB, aldosterone antagonist or sacubitril/valsartan therapy, including symptomatic heart failure
  • History of hemodynamically significant valvular disease
  • Active liver disease, i.e. alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal
  • Conditions that would affect the participants to comply with the study protocol as psychiatric or mental disorders, alcohol abuse or other substance abuse, suspected poor drug compliance, language barriers or other factors

Lab values

  • Renal failure, i.e. serum creatinine greater than 133 mol/L (1.5mg/dL) or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 45 mL/min/1.73m2
  • Hyperkalemia, i.e. serum potassium greater than 5.0 mmol/L

Age

  • Age \<18 years

Other

  • Systolic blood pressure \< 100 mgHg
  • ACEI, ARB, aldosterone antagonist or sacubitril/valsartan use within 4 weeks of study start
  • Contraindication or inability to undergo CMR examination
  • Fertile women with inadequate birth control, pregnancy, and/or breastfeeding. Adequate contraception includes oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception, placement of an intrauterine device or system, vasectomized partner or sexual abstinence. Fertile women are defined as following menarche and until becoming postmenopausal unless permanently sterile. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause
  • Life expectancy \< 12 months

Who the study is looking for

  • Women with histological evidence of invasive early breast cancer scheduled for adjuvant therapy with anti-cancer regimens that include anthracyclines
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-1
  • Sinus rhythm

Age in the registry: 18 years to - · Sex: Female · Does not accept healthy volunteers
