Trial summary

Trastuzumab prolongs survival in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2-positive breast cancer. Sequential left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) assessment has been mandated to detect myocardial dysfunction because of the risk of heart failure with this treatment.

About this study

Official title: Usefulness of Myocardial Deformation Imaging in Breast Cancer Patients Treated With Trastuzumab for Early Detection of Myocardial Dysfunction

Trastuzumab prolongs survival in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2-positive breast cancer. Sequential left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) assessment has been mandated to detect myocardial dysfunction because of the risk of heart failure with this treatment. Myocardial deformation imaging is a sensitive means of detecting LV dysfunction, but this technique has not been evaluated in patients treated with trastuzumab. The aim of this study was to investigate whether changes in tissue deformation, assessed by myocardial strain and strain rate (SR), are able to identify LV dysfunction earlier than conventional echocardiographic measures in patients treated with trastuzumab.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will prospectively evaluate whether changes in tissue deformation, assessed by myocardial strain and strain rate (SR) and identify possibility of early detection of LV dysfunction in patients treated with trastuzumab.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. LV systolic dysfunction

    LV systolic dysfunction was defined as following;

    1. An EF unit drop of ≥10% from the baseline available echocardiogram or
    2. Change in strain or strain rate : drop(decrement) corresponding to ≥1 SD of the relevant parameter assessed at the baseline available echocardiogram

    Measured: 3-month F/U

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. LV systolic dysfunction

    LV systolic dysfunction was defined as following;

    1. An EF unit drop of ≥10% from the baseline available echocardiogram or
    2. Change in strain or strain rate : drop(decrement) corresponding to ≥1 SD of the relevant parameter assessed at the baseline available echocardiogram

    Measured: 6,9, and 12-month F/U

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Left Ventricular Function Systolic Dysfunction and Cardiotoxicity, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2014. 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 South Korea. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

LV systolic dysfunction (time frame: 3-month F/U). 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 29 Apr 2014.
