Official title

A Multicentre, Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase III Study, Evaluating the Effect of Dapagliflozin on Prevention of Cardiotoxicity in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Anthracycline-based Chemotherapy

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on the incidence of cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction in patients with breast cancer receiving anthracycline treatment.

Detailed description

This is a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III study, evaluating the effect of dapagliflozin versus placebo on prevention of cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients undergoing anthracycline-based chemotherapy.

Interventions

  • Drug Dapagliflozin
    10 mg tablet q.d
  • Drug Placebo
    tablet matching dapagliflozin 10 mg q.d

Primary outcome measures

  • Primary efficacy composite endpoint (cancer therapeutics related cardiac dysfunction) at 12 months. [Time frame: 12 months]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
  • Secondary efficacy composite endpoint (cancer therapeutics related cardiac dysfunction) at 6 months. [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Change in left ventricular ejection fraction at 6 and 12 months. [Time frame: 6 and 12 months]
  • Change in left ventricular diastolic function at 6 and 12 months. [Time frame: 6 and 12 months]
  • Change in Troponin I after 6 and 12 months. [Time frame: 6 and 12 months]
  • Change in NTproBNP levels at 6 and 12 months. [Time frame: 6 and 12 months]
  • Quality of life at 6 and 12 months assessed using the five-dimensional EQ-5D questionnaire. [Time frame: 6 and 12 months]
  • Occurrence of death from any cause. [Time frame: 13 months (additional 1 month of safety follow-up after end of treatment).]
  • Composite endpoint of cardiovascular events. [Time frame: 13 months (additional 1 month of safety follow-up after end of treatment).]
  • Occurrence of death from any cardiovascular reasons. [Time frame: 13 months (additional 1 month of safety follow-up after end of treatment).]
  • Occurrence of non-fatal myocardial infarction. [Time frame: 13 months (additional 1 month of safety follow-up after end of treatment).]
  • Occurrence of non-fatal stroke. [Time frame: 13 months (additional 1 month of safety follow-up after end of treatment).]
  • Occurrence of hypoglycaemia. [Time frame: 13 months (additional 1 month of safety follow-up after end of treatment).]
