Ongoing trials of cardiotoxicity monitoring and management

Trial Population Cohorts Outcomes/endpoints Status
COBC (NCT02571894)

Women with newly diagnosed BC receiving (neo)adjuvant CT ± TRAS

N ≈ 320

Standard oncological follow-up vs standard oncological follow-up plus surveillance and treatment for subclinical cardiotoxicity

• Primary: cumulative incidence of cardiotoxicity at 1-year post-CT

• Secondary: number of cardiotoxic events at 5 and 10 years post-CT; overall survival, biomarker (hs-TnT and BNP) and imaging results, and quality of life result at 1, 5, and 10 years post-CT

Active, not recruiting; estimated primary completion February 2020
EMBRACE-MRI (NCT02306538)

Women with HER2+ early BC receiving TRAS + CT (no prior treatment with anthracycline)

N ≈ 136

All patients undergo cardiac MRI pre-treatment, after anthracycline treatment, during TRAS treatment, and at the end of all therapy

• Primary: incidence of myocardial edema with or without conventionally defined cardiotoxicity

• Secondary: incidence of myocardial edema with or without ≥ 5% LVEF decrease

Recruitment ongoing; estimated primary completion October 2019
CCT (NCT01173341)

Women with HER2+ BC receiving chemotherapy ± TRAS

N ≈ 625

Patients will receive ECG and blood draw, by patient treatment group (TRAS only, CT only, TRAS + CT)

• Primary: incidence of cardiac dysfunction or signs or symptoms of heart failure

• Secondary: Incidence of LVEF change

Recruitment ongoing, estimated primary completion April 2029
TITAN (NCT01621659)

Patients with BC or lymphoma scheduled to receive anthracyclines and/or TRAS

N ≈ 282

Patients will receive usual care or regular assessment and treatment by a multidisciplinary team

• Primary: ECG change from baseline to 1 year

• Secondary: serum biomarker change from baseline to 1 year

Active, not recruiting; estimated completion May 2019
EACVI/HFA COT Registry BC patients undergoing treatment with an agent with a known potential of cardiac toxicity and cardiac monitoring All patients are observed at baseline and for 12 months (5-year follow-up planned) • Examine clinical, imaging, and treatment practices for anti-BC drug-related cardiotoxicity in Europe Ongoing; established in 2015
