Posted Date: Oct 21, 2021
- Investigator: Mahmoud Charif
- Specialties: Breast Cancer, Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, Oncology
- Type of Study: Drug
This phase III trial will study how well carvedilol works in preventing cardiac toxicity in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. A beta-blocker, such as carvedilol, is used to treat heart failure and high blood pressure, and it may prevent the heart from side effects of chemotherapy. Efficacy will be determined by the time to the first identification of cardiac dysfunction. There will be 3 arms in this study. Arm 1 will have patients not taking beta blocker, ARB, or ACE inhibitor at registration receive carvedilol PO BID. Courses repeat every 12 weeks for 108 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Arm 2 will have patients not taking beta blocker, ARB, or ACE inhibitor at registration receive no study intervention for up to 108 weeks. Arm 3 Patients will undergo observation for up to 108 weeks.
