Active clinical trials for "Cardiotoxicity"

The research study is being conducted to test how two different types of Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT) scans could be used to image a type of heart disorder called amyloidosis (AL). There will be two groups in the study. One group will have PET/CT scans using an imaging drug called 18F-NOS and the other group will have PET/CT scans using a drug called Florbetaben. subject will be assigned to one of the groups when she/he agrees to be in the study.

Childhood cancer survivors are at an increased risk of cardiac toxicity due to prior anti-cancer therapy. However, adherence to cardiac screening in this population remains low. This study aims to assess the feasibility of an mHealth motivational interviewing platform called Computerized Authoring Intervention Software (CIAS) in childhood cancer survivors. Participants will be recruited from the Childhood Cancer Survivorship Study.

The purpose of this study is to determine if exercise preconditioning can mitigate the off target effects of chemotherapy treatment on measures of cardiovascular function, inflammatory responses, and quality of life.

This research study will test whether atorvastatin, a drug commonly prescribed for reducing cholesterol levels, can protect the heart during chemotherapy with doxorubicin. Atorvastatin is from a family of medications that are commonly called "statins"

Doxorubicin (Adriamycin), one of the drugs commonly used for the treatment of breast cancer, is in a class of medications called anthracyclines. Anthracyclines may cause heart damage that can lead to weakening of the heart muscle. This heart damage may happen right away or may occur many years after the anthracycline is given Simvastatin is an oral medication approved by the FDA to lower cholesterol. Simvastatin is in a class of medications called statins. Some research has shown that statins may prevent heart damage that can be caused by anthracyclines like Doxorubicin (Adriamycin). The purpose of this study is to determine if taking simvastatin while receiving the chemotherapy Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) will minimize damage to the heart. This study is for women who will be receiving the anthracycline doxorubicin (Adriamycin) as part of their breast cancer treatment.

Aim of the work This study aims to evaluate the possible beneficial role of silymarin in attenuating both doxorubicin related cardiac and hepatic toxicities and paclitaxel associated peripheral neuropathy and improving cognitive impairment in patients with breast cancer. This study will be a randomized placebo controlled parallel study. The study will be performed in accordance with the ethical standards of Helsinki declaration in 1964 and its later amendments. Group one: (Placebo group; n=28) which will receive four cycles of AC regimen (doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide; each cycle was given every 21 day) followed by 12 cycles of paclitaxel (each cycle was given in a weekly basis) plus placebo tablets once daily. Group two: (Silymarin group; n=28) which will receive the same regimen plus silymarin 140mg once daily

Anthracycline based anti-tumoral therapies are know to develop cardiac damage that could also lead to heart failure. Monocentric studies proved that a treatment with ACE inhibitors (ACEi) and betablockers (BB) during the first elevation of cardiac troponin is able to reduce the incidence of heart failure (HF). ICOS-ONE trial is a multicenter randomized trial comparing two therapeutic strategies. The main objective is to assess whether enalapril started concomitantly to AC-containing treatments, can prevent cardiac toxicity more effectively than when enalapril is prescribed to selected patients showing laboratory evidences of injury after chemotherapy, during follow-up visits in 268 patients.

This study aims to investigate the possible role of rosuvastatin in protection against cardiotoxicity in HER2 positive breast cancer patients receiving doxorubicin sequential with trastuzumab.

The main aim is to validate non-gated 5-min computed tomography myocardial relative enhancement (CT-MRE), which can be readily estimated via contrast-enhanced non-gated chest CT, as a tool for estimating myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived ECV as a reference standard in a consecutive series of patients scheduled for cardiac CT. A secondary explorative aim is to evaluate the presence and extent of possible myocardial alterations in those patients enrolled in the VALETUDO study who have been infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

This is a prospective, exploratory, randomised clinical trial. Patients with diagnosed cancer that are to be treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) will be randomised into standard oncological treatment or a cardiological assessment prior to the 5-FU treatment. The investigators hypothesize that aggressive management of ischemic risk factors in asymptomatic patients will reduce the number of hospitalisations and investigations for acute coronary syndrome during and after 5-FU treatment and that patients with high coronary artery calcium scores are more likely to experience chest pain during the treatment with 5-FU.
