Losartan to Reduce Radiation Induced Fibrosis in Breast Cancer Patients

A Pilot Study of Losartan to Reduce Radiation Induced Fibrosis in Breast Cancer Patients


Sponsor

Shaw Cancer Center

Enrollment

43 participants

Start Date

Aug 17, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy of losartan (LOS), an FDA-approved transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) blocker, to decrease radiation induced fibrosis (RIF) in the breast and the lung of breast cancer patients, testing the hypothesis that Losartan will decrease RIF, TGF- β1 and cellular senescence/inflammation in the breast and the lung of irradiated breast cancer patients relative to placebo treatment and consequently improve clinical outcomes in breast cancer patients.


Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial tests whether losartan — a commonly used blood pressure medication — can help prevent radiation-induced fibrosis (scarring of breast tissue) in breast cancer patients receiving radiotherapy after surgery. Reducing scarring could improve long-term cosmetic and functional outcomes. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with breast cancer (any stage, including DCIS) - You have had breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy with reconstruction - You are a candidate for radiation therapy after surgery - You are receiving treatment at a participating hospital **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are not receiving radiation therapy - You have had bilateral (both-sided) breast surgery requiring radiation - You have specific contraindications to losartan (such as certain kidney or blood pressure conditions) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
