Assessment of dexrazoxane as a cardioprotectant in doxorubicin-treated children with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: long-term follow-up of a prospective, randomised, multicentre trial

Abstract: Summary Background Doxorubicin chemotherapy is associated with cardiomyopathy. Dexrazoxane reduces cardiac damage during treatment with doxorubicin in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). We aimed to establish the long-term effect of dexrazoxane on the subclinical state of cardiac health in survivors of childhood high-risk ALL 5 years after completion of doxorubicin treatment. Methods Between January, 1996, and September, 2000, children with high-risk ALL were enrolled from nine centres in the… Show more

“…We investigated the effects of anti-ischemia drugs, losartan and diltiazem, as well as dexrazoxane, which have been shown to provide long-term cytoprotection without affecting the efficacy of doxorubicin (28). Dose response experiments for cytoprotective effect were performed using rat myoblast (H9c2) cells in the presence of doxorubicin and irinotecan, and the listed cytoprotective and anti-ischemia drugs.…”

“…(15) Further studies have demonstrated that TnI is also a sensitive and specific marker for myocardial injury in adults treated with high-dose chemotherapy (CT), and is able to predict, at a very early phase, both development and severity of future LVD ( Figure 1). (16)(17)(18) Additionally, in 703 Patients showing an increase of TnI during trastuzumab treatment had a three-fold lower chance of recovery from cardiac dysfunction and had a higher incidence of cardiac events ( showing only a transient increase in this marker.…”

“…Currently, dexrazoxane is the only cardioprotective drug used in clinical practice with a proven effi cacy in reducing side effects of anthracycline-based chemotherapy in cancer patients by reduction of the incidence and severity of anthracycline-induced congestive heart failure and adverse cardiac events (Lipshultz et al 2010 ;Lyu et al 2007 ).…”
