“Exciting Update!
Our meta-analysis on SGLT2 inhibitors in cancer patients receiving anthracycline—first presented at ASCO24 now available in ecancer!
Key Findings:
SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduce all-cause mortality in cancer patients with anthracycline therapy!
No significant effect on heart failure exacerbation risk.
What’s next?
Exciting ongoing trials could change the game!
- PROTECT Trial (NCT06341842) – Could SGLT-2 Inhibitors Protect Against Chemo-Induced Cardiotoxicity?
- EMPACT Study (NCT05271162) – Can Empagliflozin Prevent Cardiotoxicity in Cancer Patients Receiving Anthracycline Chemotherapy?
- PROTECTAA Trial (NCT06304857) – Can Dapagliflozin Prevent Cardiotoxicity in Breast Cancer Patients on Anthracycline?
- Could SGLT2 inhibitors become standard therapy for anthracycline-treated cancer patients?
Stay tuned!”
