RESILIENCE helps you survive cancer with a strong heart

RESILIENCE Proyect

A European Commission-funded project aimed at reducing the incidence of heart failure in cancer survivors

Cancer survivors are at high risk for cardiovascular complications. Anthracyclines are an extremely effective treatment against many cancer types, but they can induce cardiac toxicity resulting in chronic heart failure.

RESILIENCE Project tests a novel preventive intervention (remote ischemic conditioning) in patients at risk for anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. In addition, new diagnostic modalities will be used to identify anthracyclines-induced cardiotoxicity in its very early stages.

RESILIENCE counts on a multidisciplinary consortium with the active participation of patients.

THE CHALLENGE:
Reduce the Heart Failure in Cancer Survivors

Thanks to the great scientific and medical advances, the prevalence of cancer survivors in increasing in Europe. However, cancer survivors are at high risk for cardiovascular complications. Among them, heart failure is especially worrisome. There is a strong need to reduce the burden of disability in cancer survivors and to increase their quality of life.

THE THERAPY:
Remote Ischemic Conditioning

Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC) is a phenomenon by which brief, reversible episodes of occlusion and re-occlusion in one organ (e.g. an arm) render remote organs resistant to injury.

CARDIAC MAGNETIC RESONANCE

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) it is a technique without radiation, which is considered the gold-standard for the evaluation of cardiac anatomy, function and even tissue composition.

CLINICAL TRIAL SYNOPSIS

Multinational, prospective, proof of concept phase II, double-blinded, sham-controlled, randomized clinical trial (RCT) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Remote Ischaemic Conditioning (RIC) in Lymphoma patients receiving anthracyclines. Patients scheduled to undergo ≥5 chemotherapy cycles will be eligible.

WHY LYMPHOMA

Lymphoma treatment includes the use of anthracyclines within a homogeneous combination chemotherapy. Lymphomas are specially vulnerable to anthracycline-induced heart failure. Lymphoma affects similarly women and men, and it it thus ideal to study gender differences in cardiotoxicity.
