NCT ID NCT04023110

Summary

This study tested if giving a heart medication called carvedilol to breast cancer patients at higher risk of heart damage could protect their hearts during chemotherapy. It involved 68 women receiving specific cancer drugs (doxorubicin and/or trastuzumab). The goal was to see if this protective strategy was safe, doable, and could help prevent heart problems.
