Prevention of Anthracycline-induced Cardiotoxicity

Summary

Anthracycline based anti-tumoral therapies are know to develop cardiac damage that could also lead to heart failure. Monocentric studies proved that a treatment with ACE inhibitors (ACEi) and betablockers (BB) during the first elevation of cardiac troponin is able to reduce the incidence of heart failure (HF). ICOS-ONE trial is a multicenter randomized trial comparing two therapeutic strategies. The main objective is to assess whether enalapril started concomitantly to AC-containing treatments, can prevent cardiac toxicity more effectively than when enalapril is prescribed to selected patients showing laboratory evidences of injury after chemotherapy, during follow-up visits in 268 patients.
