Trial summary

Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Chemoprotective drugs, such as dexrazoxane, may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase II Trial Of Interventional Therapy Investigate Cardiac Protection of Dexrazoxane In Women With Breast Cancer Having Experienced Grade 1 Cardiotoxicity During Prior Anthracycline-based Chemotherapy.

Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Chemoprotective drugs, such as dexrazoxane, may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. CTnT/cTnI/ANP/BNP were proved to be used as a biomarker of drug related cardiotoxicity. There are excellent correlations between the total cumulative dose of doxorubicin, the severity of the resulting cardiomyopathy, and the level of serum troponin-T.

Read the detailed description

Patients with breast cancer receiving anthracycline chemotherapy randomized to 3 groups:chemotherapy plus low dose dexrazoxane,chemotherapy plus middle dose dexrazoxane, chemotherapy only.Every patient receive at least 2 cycles anthracycline chemotherapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dexrazoxane hydrochloride in people with Breast Cancer, run by Fudan University at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 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.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Enrolled too slow). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Occurence of cardiac toxicity in patients with breast cancer receiving anthracycline chemotherapy (time frame: 1 year). 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 28 Feb 2012.
