Diabetes pill may shield hearts from chemo damage

NCT ID NCT06888505

Summary

This study tested whether a diabetes drug called dapagliflozin could protect the heart in cancer patients receiving a common but potentially heart-damaging chemotherapy. 90 patients were randomly assigned to take either dapagliflozin or a placebo pill daily for four months alongside their chemotherapy. Researchers measured heart function before and after treatment to see if the drug helped prevent chemotherapy-related heart damage.
