Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride in Preventing Heart-Related Side Effects of Chemotherapy in Participants With Blood Cancers

Cardioprotection With Dexrazoxane in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), Myeloid Blast Phase of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), Ph+ AML, and Myeloid Blast Phase of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms


Sponsor

M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Sep 19, 2018

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This phase II trial studies how well dexrazoxane hydrochloride works in preventing heart-related side effects of chemotherapy in participants with blood cancers, such as acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myeloid leukemia, and myeloproliferative neoplasms. Chemoprotective drugs, such as dexrazoxane hydrochloride, may protect the heart from the side effects of drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cladribine, idarubicin, cytarabine, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin, in participants with blood cancers.


Eligibility

Min Age: 12 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests whether a drug called dexrazoxane can protect the heart from damage caused by high doses of a chemotherapy drug called doxorubicin (anthracycline) in patients with blood cancers such as leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome (a bone marrow disorder). **You may be eligible if...** - Your heart is pumping normally at baseline (ejection fraction of 50% or higher, measured by echocardiogram or MUGA scan) - You have been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS with 10% or more blasts), high-risk myeloproliferative neoplasm, or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in blast phase - You are not currently pregnant, or you are using contraception if you could become pregnant **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your heart pumping function is already reduced (ejection fraction below 50%) - You have already received significant amounts of anthracycline chemotherapy without prior dexrazoxane protection - Your blood cancer diagnosis does not fall within the listed eligible types Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
