Statins for Reduction of Cardiac Toxicity in Patients Receiving HER2 Targeted
- Conditions
- Cardiac ToxicityEarly-stage Breast Cancer
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT05559164
- Lead Sponsor
- Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
- Brief Summary
This study proposes that the addition of statins reduces the treatment delays or early discontinuations secondary to cardiotoxicity in patients with Stage I-III HER2 positive breast being treated with anti-HER2 therapy.
- Detailed Description
A single arm open-label phase 2 study to evaluate the cardioprotective effects of statins in patients with Stage I-III HER2 positive breast cancer receiving HER2 targeted therapy. This study will evaluate the hypothesis that addition of statins will reduce treatment delays/discontinuations related to symptomatic/asymptomatic cardiac dysfunction in patients being treated with anti-HER2 therapy. The long-term goal of this study is to improve disease related outcomes and quality of life measures in patients being treated with anti-HER2 therapy.
