Brief Summary

PROACT will establish the effectiveness of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) enalapril maleate (enalapril) in preventing cardiotoxicity in patients with breast cancer and non-Hodgkin ...

Detailed Description

PROACT is a phase 3 randomised, open label, blinded endpoint, superiority trial of enalapril to prevent anthracycline-induced in patients treated for breast cancer and lymphoma. Anthracyclines used i...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Written informed consent.
  • Adult patients with histopathologically\* confirmed breast carcinoma who have received surgery for their breast cancer; planned to receive 6 cycles of EC 90 (total planned dose 540mg/m2 epirubicin) or FEC 75 (total planned dose 450mg/m2 epirubicin) adjuvant chemotherapy regimen. Patients with HER2+ breast cancer are eligible for inclusion.
  • OR
  • Adult patients with histopathologically confirmed non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), planned to receive 6 cycles of R-CHOP or CHOP (total planned dose 300mg/m2 doxorubicin) chemotherapy\*\*
  • Patients with HER2+ breast cancer are eligible for inclusion. \*\* Patients who will receive an alternative anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody are eligible (for example O-CHOP), as long as the total planned doxorubicin dose is ≥300mg/m2 over 6 cycles

Exclusion

  • Positive baseline cardiac troponin T (≥14ng/L);
  • known contraindication to ACE inhibitor e.g. renal artery stenosis, severe aortic stenosis;
  • are taking, or have a previous intolerance to ACEI (e.g. angioedema);
  • patient already taking other agents acting on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system e.g. Aliskiren, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan), spironolactone, eplerenone;
  • LVEF \<50%\*;
  • estimated GFR \< 30 mL/min/1.73m2 at baseline;
  • hyperkalaemia defined as serum potassium ≥5.5mmol/L;
  • symptomatic hypotension, or Systolic Blood Pressure \<100mmHg;
  • poorly-controlled hypertension (Blood Pressure \>160/100mmHg\*\*, or ambulatory BP of 150/95mmHg);
  • previous myocardial infarction;
  • known metastatic breast cancer;
  • previous exposure to anthracycline chemotherapy;
  • are pregnant or breastfeeding;
  • previous Herceptin treatment or planned Herceptin treatment within four weeks following anthracycline chemotherapy;
  • for patients of childbearing potential: refusal to use adequate contraception throughout the trial;\*\*\*
  • any other invasive cancer diagnosed and treated in the past 5 years;
  • symptomatic or severe asymptomatic radiation-induced cardiac disease;
  • judgement by the investigator that the patient has a prognosis of \< 1 year or are unlikely to complete 6 cycles of chemotherapy;
  • judgement by the investigator that the patient is high risk for tumour lysis syndrome (applicable only to NHL patients);
  • judgement by the Investigator that the patient should not participate in the study, for example, if the patient is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions, and requirements.
  • \*\<50% as defined by Simpson's biplane method; if absolute measurements are not possible, then a visually normal assessment of LVEF is acceptable for inclusion.
  • \*\*White coat hypertension is more common, and should be ruled out by an ambulatory blood pressure monitor
  • \*\*\*Female patients between the ages of 18 and 50 will receive a pregnancy test at baseline. Adequate methods of contraception are those that can achieve a failure rate of less than
  • 1% per year when used consistently and correctly, such methods include:
  • combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation
  • oral
  • intravaginal
  • transdermal
  • progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation
  • oral
  • injectable
  • implantable
  • intrauterine device (IUD)
  • intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)
  • bilateral tubal occlusion
  • vasectomy/vasectomised partner
  • true sexual abstinence
