NT-proBNP to Assess Trastuzumab-induced Cardiotoxicity
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Plasma NT-proBNP: Replacement of measurement of plasma NT-proBNP instead of ECHO/MUGA at 6 months and 12 months of trastuzumab treatment to assess cardiotoxicity
Study summary
Trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity (TIC) will be monitored in patients with HER2+ breast cancer undergoing trastuzumab treatment before and after breast cancer surgery. At baseline before start of trastuzumab treatment, echocardiography (ECHO)/multigated Acquisition Scan (MUGA) and measurement of plasma NT-proBNP will be performed. NT-proBNP will be measured again at 6 months and at 12 months of trastuzumab treatment. If elevations in NT-proBNP at 6 months and 12 months occur patients will be referred for ECHO/MUGA. The aim is to assess the sensitivity and specificity to detect TIC with NT-proBNP and whether ECHO/MUGA can be safely replaced by assessment of plasma NT-proBNP levels.
