Heart shield: new trial aims to prevent chemo side effects in blood cancer patients

NCT ID NCT03589729

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a drug called dexrazoxane can protect the heart from damage caused by chemotherapy in people with certain blood cancers, such as acute myeloid leukemia and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. About 100 participants will receive dexrazoxane alongside standard chemo drugs. The goal is to see if it reduces heart-related side effects without affecting cancer treatment.
