About this study

Official title: Using of Atorvastatin for Anthracyclin _ Associated Cardiotoxicity in Hemetological Malignancies Patients.

The research proposal focuses on evaluating the efficacy of atorvastatin in reducing cardiotoxicity caused by anthracycline chemotherapy in patients with hematologic malignancies, specifically acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The study will be conducted at Assiut University Hospitals and will include patients aged 18 or older receiving anthracycline-based treatments (3+7 regimen for AML and CHOP regimen for NHL).

The background highlights that anthracyclines, a class of chemotherapeutic agents, can cause serious side effects, particularly cardiotoxicity. The research aims to investigate whether atorvastatin, a statin used to lower cholesterol, can mitigate this risk by improving cardiac function in patients undergoing chemotherapy.

The study will be a randomized controlled trial with a sample size of 46 participants. It will assess left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as the primary outcome to determine the effect of atorvastatin on reducing cardiotoxicity. Secondary outcomes include identifying high-risk patients and further understanding the impact of atorvastatin.

The study also adheres to ethical guidelines, ensuring patient consent and confidentiality. Data analysis will be performed using IBM SPSS, and results will be disseminated in scientific journals, with support from Assiut Medical School's Grants Office if funding is approved.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiotoxicity

    Effect of atorvaststin for anthracyclin induced cardiotoxicity measured through Echo and ECG

    Measured: During the study period along 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cardiotoxicity events correlation to high risk patients

    we will correlate cardiotoxicity with the factors that make those patients high risk group for cardiotoxicity

    Measured: along 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Atrovastain in people with Leukemia and Hodgkin Disease, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Nov 2024. 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 Egypt. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Esraa AbdRabou, Bacheolar of medicine (+201151477447, mahmoudisraa01@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cardiotoxicity (time frame: During the study period along 12 months). 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 12 Nov 2024.
