Cardiomyopathy due to anthracyclines

This trial investigates whether sulforaphane, a nutrient found in broccoli, can reduce heart damage caused by the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin in breast cancer patients. About 70 participants will receive either sulforaphane or a placebo alongside their chemotherapy. The study m…

This study tests whether temporarily stopping blood flow in the arm with a blood pressure cuff can protect the hearts of lymphoma patients receiving chemotherapy. The procedure, called remote ischemic preconditioning, is done before each chemo session. Researchers will compare he…

This study tests whether the drug dexrazoxane can prevent heart damage caused by chemotherapy in people with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). About 324 patients will receive either standard treatment plus dexrazoxane or standard treatment alone. The goal is to see if dexraz…

This study tests whether dapagliflozin, a drug used for diabetes and heart failure, can prevent heart damage caused by a common type of chemotherapy (anthracyclines) in breast cancer patients. One hundred women will receive either dapagliflozin or a placebo daily during their che…

This study is looking at whether advanced heart imaging, especially cardiac MRI, can help identify the cause of cardiomyopathy and predict risks like death or heart failure in a diverse group of patients. The research focuses on adults in the Bronx, including many from Hispanic a…

This study is for breast cancer patients receiving certain chemotherapies that can harm the heart. Researchers want to see if a genetic marker called TRPC6 can predict who will develop heart problems. By analyzing blood samples, they hope to find early warning signs and ways to p…

This study tests a virtual reality program called SurviVRSE that teaches breast cancer survivors about heart health. Thirty women currently receiving certain cancer treatments will use the VR headset during one infusion session. Researchers will measure how much they learn, how e…

This study tests whether special heart MRI scans can find early signs of heart damage in cancer patients getting anthracycline chemotherapy. Current tests often miss this damage until it's advanced. About 93 adults will get several MRI scans before, during, and after treatment. T…

This study is building a large online registry of 10,000 adults with cardiomyopathy or myocarditis, plus those with a strong family history. Researchers will track participants over time to see how many experience serious events like heart failure, dangerous heart rhythms, or dea…

This study aims to improve how doctors predict the risk of sudden cardiac death or heart failure in people with inherited heart diseases. Researchers will use artificial intelligence to analyze data from 1,000 participants, including medical history, ECGs, imaging, genetic tests,…

This study follows 1500 people who already have an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) to prevent sudden cardiac death. Researchers will track heart function, genetics, and blood markers to find better ways to predict who is at highest risk. The goal is to improve how do…

This study looks at heart tissue samples from 216 adults who already need a biopsy as part of their care. Researchers want to find unique molecular patterns in different heart conditions, including after a heart transplant. The goal is to improve how these diseases are diagnosed …
