Prospective Evaluation Of Carvedilol In Prevention Of Cardiac Toxicity In Patients With Metastatic Her-2+ Breast Cancer, Phase III

Posted Date: Oct 21, 2021

  • Investigator: Mahmoud Charif
  • Specialties: Breast Cancer, Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, Oncology
  • Type of Study: Drug

This phase III trial will study how well carvedilol works in preventing cardiac toxicity in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. A beta-blocker, such as carvedilol, is used to treat heart failure and high blood pressure, and it may prevent the heart from side effects of chemotherapy. Efficacy will be determined by the time to the first identification of cardiac dysfunction. There will be 3 arms in this study. Arm 1 will have patients not taking beta blocker, ARB, or ACE inhibitor at registration receive carvedilol PO BID. Courses repeat every 12 weeks for 108 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Arm 2 will have patients not taking beta blocker, ARB, or ACE inhibitor at registration receive no study intervention for up to 108 weeks. Arm 3 Patients will undergo observation for up to 108 weeks.

Criteria:

Patients Must Have Metastatic Breast Cancer And Be Initiating Within 7 Days Of Step 1 Registration Or Continuing Trastuzumab Based Her-2 Targeted Therapy Without Concurrent Anthracyclines In First Or Second Line Setting. Patients Must Be At Increased Risk For Cardiotoxicity. Patients Must Not Have Taken Within 21 Days Prior To Step 1 Registration, Be Currently Taking At The Time Of Step 1 Registration, Or Planning To Take Once Registered To Step 1 A Beta Blocker, Arb, Or Ace Inhibitor In Order To Be Randomized (Arms 1 And 2).
