Cardiac CARE
A multicentre prospective randomised open-label blinded end-point controlled trial of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I-guided combination angiotensin receptor blockade and beta blocker therapy to prevent cardiac toxicity in breast cancer and lymphoma patients receiving anthracycline adjuvant therapy.
This study tests whether tablet medications called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) and B-blockers can prevent heart muscle injury related to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. We will also show whether a convenient blood test (troponin I) can detect those patients at risk of heart failure.
