Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy, Therapy

The study seeks primarily to assess whether the administration of dapagliflozin is associated with a lower rate of asymptomatic and symptomatic CTRCD during 18 months

Secondary objectives 6

  1. Demonstrate whether dapagliflozin reduces the excess risk associated with trastuzumab
  2. Demonstrate the reduction of rate of asymptomatic mild CTRCD in the dapagliflozin group during 18 months
  3. Demonstrate the reduction of rate of asymptomatic moderate CTRCD in the dapagliflozin group during 18 months.
  4. Demonstrate the reduction of rate of asymptomatic severe CTRCD in the dapagliflozin group during 18 months
  5. Demonstrate the reduction of rate of symptomatic CTRCD in the dapagliflozin group during 18 months
  6. Assess efficacy of dapagliflozin on improvement of diastolic function, end systolic and diastolic left ventricular volumes and plasma levels of bio-humoral markers, compared to standard of care during 18 months.

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 5

  1. Chemotherapy-naive patients, scheduled for antracycline +/- trastuzumab treatment in the (neo-)adjuvant setting for stage I-III breast cancer
  2. Adult women between 18 and 70 years of age
  3. eGFR>25 ml/min/1.7 mq
  4. ECOG score 0-2Consent form signed.
  5. Female patients of childbearing potential (not surgically sterilized and between menarche and 1 year post menopause) must have a negative result from a serum pregnancy test performed within 7 days of randomization and on the day of first study treatment prior to the initiation of study treatment. Women of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraceptive measures from the time of informed consent through 7 months after last dose of study drug. Women of childbearing potential willing to use highly effective contraceptive measures from the time of informed consent through 7 months after last dose of study drug

Exclusion criteria 9

  1. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <53% (Current echocardiography recommendations set low normal value of 2D LVEF as 54% for women and 52% for men and hence in the 2016 EACVI position statement a reduction of LVEF below 53% was classified as abnormal)
  2. Valvular heart disease
  3. Previous malignancy requiring treatment with anthracyclines or chest radiotherapy
  4. A life expectancy of ≤12 weeks
  5. Currently pregnant (confirmed with positive pregnancy test performed from -7 to -1 days prior to start study drug) or unwilling to adopt highly effective contraceptive method
  6. Currently breast-feeding women
  7. History of hypersensitivity to dapagliflozin or any of the excipients of the product
  8. History of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) requiring medical intervention (e.g. emergency room visit and/or hospitalization) within 1 month prior to enrolment visit
  9. Type 1 diabetes mellitus
