Heart medication study for cancer survivors with mild heart weakness
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a heart medication (sacubitril/valsartan) in young cancer survivors whose hearts were weakened by anthracycline chemotherapy but are not yet having heart failure symptoms. It aims to see if the drug can improve heart function and prevent future problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were 39 or younger when diagnosed with cancer.
- You had a type of chemotherapy called anthracycline.
- Your heart's squeeze strength is mildly reduced but not severely (ejection fraction between 40% and normal, or heart strain less than 18%).
- You do not have symptoms of heart failure (like shortness of breath, fatigue, or swelling).
- You are not currently taking certain blood pressure or pain medicines that can't be stopped for the study.

This trial tests sacubitril/valsartan to help prevent heart weakness (cardiotoxicity) caused by breast cancer treatments like anthracyclines and/or anti-HER2 drugs. If you qualify, you may be offered this heart-protection medicine while your cancer is treated.
This trial tests a medicine called sacubitril-valsartan for people in rural Tanzania with heart failure and reduced pumping strength. It aims to see if switching to this drug can improve symptoms and outcomes.
This trial tests whether a personalized, risk-based heart care plan can help prevent heart failure in people who had certain cancer treatments. It focuses on monitoring and guiding treatment, using heart ultrasound results and other health factors.
This feasibility study looks at how to support decision-making about preventing heart problems in adults after a cancer diagnosis. It may help by making it easier to assess cardiovascular risk and start appropriate heart-protection planning earlier.
This study tests whether a structured exercise and heart-health rehabilitation program can improve heart function and reduce heart problems in people who have finished cancer treatment or are on stable cancer therapy. If you've had cancer treatment that might affect your heart, this program could help you recover better and live healthier.
This trial tests a structured lifestyle and exercise change program for young people who finished cancer treatment and have signs of early heart weakness. The goal is to improve heart health and lower the chance of heart failure later.
