S1501 Dual Observational and Randomized Cohort Study of Patients With Metastatic HER-2+ Breast Cancer at Risk of Cardiac Toxicity

Is NCT03418961 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 3 trial studies Carvedilol for cardiotoxicity.

Phase 3RecruitingSWOG Cancer Research NetworkNCT03418961Data as of May 2026

Treatment: CarvedilolThis trial has two cohorts of patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. All patients must be receiving trastuzumab-based treatment. Both cohorts are being observed for cardiac toxicity. The largest cohort (currently open to accrual) is observational, and contains patients who are taking a beta blocker, ACE inhibitor, or ARB as well as their trastuzumab-based treatment. The goal is to understand how common cardiac problems are in this group of patients at high risk. The smaller cohort (currently closed to accrual) is randomized. Patients in this second cohort are randomized to either carvedilol or no treatment, with the goal of seeing whether carvedilol (used to treat heart failure and high blood pressure) may prevent the heart from side effects of chemotherapy.

Lab requirements

Kidney function

Patients must not be dialysis dependent

Liver function

Serum bilirubin < 3.0 x institutional upper limit of normal (IULN); AST and ALT < 5.0 x IULN

Cardiac function

LVEF >= 50% by echocardiogram (2D or 3D) within 28 days prior to registration; central review required

Patients must have LVEF >= 50% echocardiogram (2D or 3D) within 28 days prior to registration. The echocardiogram must be obtained from a S1501 validated ECHO laboratory (lab) and submitted for central review by the S1501 ECHO core lab.
