About this study

This study will describe the epidemiology including prognosis of heart failure related to treatment with anthracycline and trastuzumab for breast cancer.

In a prospective study Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer patients scheduled for trastuzumab treatment at Odense University Hospital, will be offered advanced echocardiographic examination, test of bio-markers and genetic markers for the purpose of investigating if early identification of patients in particular risk of developing heart failure is feasible.

What is being measured

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

  1. Global longitudinal strain by two dimentional speckle tracking.

    Measured: Change in outcome from initiation of trastuzumab treatment and after 3,6, and 9 month.

  2. Ratio between the mitral E velocity and early diastolic maximum global strain rate (E/SRE).

    Measured: Change in outcome from initiation of trastuzumab treatment and after 3,6, and 9 month.

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?

Global longitudinal strain by two dimentional speckle tracking. (time frame: Change in outcome from initiation of trastuzumab treatment and after 3,6, and 9 month.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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.
