CARDIOTOXICITY

This study looks at whether using a high-efficiency air filter in the bedroom overnight can reduce inflammation and heart-related risks in adult cancer survivors living in highly polluted areas. Ten participants will each try both filtered and unfiltered air for two-week periods,…

This study tests whether empagliflozin, a drug used for diabetes, can prevent heart damage in cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy (anthracyclines). About 220 adults with cancer but no prior heart failure will take either the drug or a placebo daily for 12 months. The go…

This study looks at whether different levels of exercise can improve heart health in young adults who survived childhood cancer and were treated with a type of chemotherapy called anthracyclines, which can weaken the heart. Twenty survivors aged 18 to 39 will do either high-inten…

This study tests whether a wearable sensor can accurately estimate the heart's pumping ability (LVEF) compared to standard ultrasound. Researchers will enroll 500 adults already scheduled for an echocardiogram. The goal is to develop a simpler, more accessible way to monitor hear…

This study follows 200 men with prostate cancer who are receiving hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy) for at least 6 months. Researchers want to understand how this treatment affects the heart over time, and how factors like medical history, race, income, and access to…

This study watches 50 people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who are starting a type of drug called a BTK inhibitor. These drugs can cause high blood pressure and irregular heartbeats. Participants will use a wearable device at home to track their heart rhythm and blood p…

This study watches 25 people with breast or lung cancer who are getting immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Researchers use heart scans and blood tests to see if the treatment harms the heart's tiny blood vessels. No new drugs are given; the goal is to learn how to better protec…

This study follows 200 women with breast cancer who are receiving doxorubicin and/or trastuzumab. Researchers want to learn how these drugs affect the heart over time and how factors like race, income, and access to healthcare play a role. Participants will have heart ultrasounds…

This study tracks 221 people with stage II or III lung cancer to see how chemoradiation therapy affects their heart health. Participants undergo heart scans, blood tests, and quality-of-life surveys before, during, and for at least two years after treatment. The goal is to better…

This study looks at how well a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) can measure oxygen use in women with HER2-positive breast cancer who have mild heart problems from their cancer treatment. The goal is to see if this test can help predict how their heart and lungs will handle co…
