Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Query!
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
A central (web-based) randomization program will be used to allocate patients to cardioprotection (metoprolol and ramipril) vs none only if the patient shows a reduction in GLS but not EF. This allocation concealment will prevent the person performing recruitment from knowing the allocated group at the time of inclusion.
Query!
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomisation will be performed using a randomisation table created by computer software (i.e. computerised sequence generation) and coded into the RedCap database..

Statistical methods / analysis
An reduction in GLS is expected in 32%, with reduction of EF in 18%, so there is a reduction in GLS only in 14%. To obtain 154 patients to show reduced strain alone, we will recruit 1100 patients.
Cardiotoxicity (reduced 12m EF) will be anticipated in 20% with reduced 3-6 month strain with preserved EF (Grp A),
Based on a similar risk reduction in patients with reduced GLS, 70 completed patients per group would give >90% power to identify a difference with a 5% probability of type 1 error, allowing for the greatest possibility of clustering due to differences in care at different sites (ICC 0.05). At lower ICC values (0.02), the study power would be 95%.

Summary
Brief summary
Cancer survivors are susceptible to heart failure caused by heart muscle damage from chemotherapy. The purpose of this study is to determine if a test called cardiac strain can be used to predict whether an individual undergoing chemotherapy will develop heart failure.
Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are an adult who is currently undergoing chemotherapy.
Study details: You will have a magnetic resonance scan (MRI) to measure cardiac function at baseline and after 12 months.
You will have a standard heart ultrasound test (echocardiogram) to measure strain and ejection fraction every three months. There are three possible outcomes of this test;
a) The ejection fraction and strain remain normal – you continue with 3 monthly echocardiograms, no treatment is required.
b) The ejection fraction and strain become abnormal – you will be started on medications (ACE inhibitors and beta blockers) to protect the heart
c) If only the strain becomes abnormal and the ejection fraction is normal - you will be randomly selected to continue testing with no treatment, or to take medications (ACE inhibitors and beta blockers) to protect the heart. If you don’t take treatment and the ejection fraction changes, then you will start treatment.
This is the first randomized trial of cardioprotective treatment based on the use of strain measurement. The results of this trial will determine what tests will be done to track the heart’s response to chemotherapy, and to identify how best to respond to abnormal test results.
