Abstract
Purpose: Cancer therapies including trastuzumab and anthracyclines are cardiotoxic and cause cardiac dysfunction. To prevent cardiotoxicity, pharmacological agents used in heart failure have been administered concomitantly with cardiotoxic cancer therapy, but few studies to date have performed a head-to-head comparison of these different agents. This systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized-controlled trials aims to evaluate the efficacy of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockers, namely angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-Is), aldosterone receptor blockers (ARBs), and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), in primary prevention against chemotherapy-related cardiac dysfunction in patients receiving anthracyclines and/or trastuzumab.
Methods: A systematic search was performed in major web databases for studies from inception to 15 September 2022. A Bayesian network meta-analysis model was used to assess the relative effects of competing treatments on the primary outcomes of risk of significant decline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and mean LVEF decline. Secondary outcomes included left ventricular diastolic function, global longitudinal strain, and cardiac biomarkers. This study is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42022357980.
Results and conclusion: Nineteen studies reported the effects of 13 interventions (N = 1905 patients). Only enalapril (RR 0.05, 95% CI 0.00-0.20) was associated with reduced risk of patients developing significant decline in LVEF relative to placebo. Subgroup analysis showed that the beneficial effect of enalapril was driven by protection against anthracycline-associated toxicity. In addition, no RAAS-inhibiting agents showed efficacy in protection against treatment with both anthracycline and trastuzumab. The use of RAAS inhibition therapy did not conclusively impact on other markers of cardiac function, including left ventricular diastolic function and cardiac biomarkers.
