Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if dapagliflozin drug has a cardioprotective effect against anthracyclines-induced cardiotoxicity. It will also learn about the safety of dapagliflozin drug. Aim of the study: Evaluate cardioprotective effect and safety of dapagliflozin against anthracyclines-induced cardiotoxicity. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the drug lower the cardiotoxicity which induced by anthracyclines? 2. What medical problems do participants have when taking dapagliflozin drug? Treatment 1. Anthracyclines by 4 cycles included doxorubicin 50-60 mg/m2 with cyclophosphamide 600 mg as a combination or epirubicin 90-100 mg/m2 with cyclophosphamide 600 mg as a combination. 2. Dapagliflozin 10 mg tablet orally, once daily. Started 7 days before the first cycle of anthracyclines till the end of last anthracyclines dose.
