E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the study is to assess whether enalapril started concomitantly to anthracycline therapy can prevent cardiac toxicity more effectively than when enalapril is prescribed to selected patients showing laboratory evidences of cardiac injury after chemotherapy. |
Valutare se un trattamento con enalapril somministrato dall’inizio della terapia con antracicline è più efficace nel prevenire la tossicità̀ cardiaca rispetto ad un trattamento cominciato in conseguenza all'innalzamento della troponina cardiaca. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives will be the reduction of admissions to hospital for cardiovascular causes; deaths for cardiovascular causes. Differences between the two study groups in the following continuous variables will be also assessed: (1) cardiac structural and functional variables by echocardiography (in all patients), by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (in a subgroup); (2)biomarkers such as NT-‐pro BNP, PTX- ‐3. Quality of life of patients will be also assessed. |
Obiettivi secondari dello studio sono la riduzione dei ricoveri ospedalieri e le morti per cause cardiovascolari. Verranno inoltre valutate variabili strutturali e funzionali cardiache tramite ecocardiografia (in tutti i pazienti), tramite risonanza magnetica (in un sottogruppo); verranno valutati biomarcatori come la NT-‐pro BNP e PTX3, e la qualità di vita dei pazienti oncologici. |
