Study on dapagliflozin to protect the heart during breast cancer chemo
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if a heart-protecting drug called dapagliflozin can help prevent heart damage in breast cancer patients receiving a type of chemotherapy called anthracycline. It may be an option if you have low to medium heart risk factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if the drug dapagliflozin can prevent heart damage caused by anthracycline chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. It aims to see if taking the drug during chemo helps keep your heart healthy.
This trial tests if the diabetes drug dapagliflozin can protect the heart in people with breast cancer receiving a type of chemotherapy called anthracyclines. You may be able to join if you are between 18 and 80, have stage I-III breast cancer, and are about to start anthracycline treatment within the next 60 days.
This trial tests whether a daily pill called dapagliflozin can help protect the heart from damage caused by doxorubicin chemotherapy in people being treated for early-stage breast cancer. If you are starting doxorubicin and have a healthy heart, this might lower your risk of heart problems later.
This trial tests whether two different medications (SGLT-2 inhibitor vs. DPP-4 inhibitor) can help prevent heart damage from certain chemotherapy drugs (anthracyclines) in women with breast cancer. It aims to protect your heart while you undergo cancer treatment.
This trial checks how well the heart handles anthracycline chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. It helps doctors find early signs of heart side effects so they can keep you safe during treatment.
This trial tests if a diabetes medicine called dapagliflozin (also known as Farxiga) can protect the hearts of women with breast cancer while they receive anthracycline chemotherapy. You would take the medicine and have heart MRI scans to see if it helps prevent heart damage.
