Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Rate of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity events

    Cardiotoxicity event is defined as one of the following: * Drop in LVEF between study CMRs of ≥10 absolute points regardless the absolute value of follow- up ejection fraction (EF). * Drop in LVEF between study CMRs of ≥5 to \<10 absolute points with a follow-up EF value \<50% UNITS: absolute number of patients in each arm qualifying for cardiotoxicity event (i.e. each patient will be qualified at the end of the study as YES/NO).

    9 weeks after the last chemotherapy cycle (anticipated to be between 150 and 200 days from enrollment)

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Primary efficacy endpoint: (RIC vs Sham) Absolute change in LVEF

    9 weeks after the last chemotherapy cycle (anticipated to be between 150 and 200 days from enrollment)

  • Rate of tumor regression.

    9 weeks after the last chemotherapy cycle (anticipated to be between 150 and 200 days from enrollment)

  • Change in Quality of Life-Haematological Malignancy Patient-Reported Outcome Measure questionnaire

    9 weeks after the last chemotherapy cycle (anticipated to be between 150 and 200 days from enrollment)

  • Change in Quality of Life-Euro Quality of Life-5 dimensions questionnaire

    9 weeks after the last chemotherapy cycle (anticipated to be between 150 and 200 days from enrollment)

  • Change in Quality of Life-Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire

    9 weeks after the last chemotherapy cycle (anticipated to be between 150 and 200 days from enrollment)

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Remote Ischemic Conditioning

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC): Patients will undergo weekly RIC during the entire span of the chemotherapy period. Each RIC session will include four cycles of 5 min blood pressure cuff inflation followed by 5 min deflation

Device: RIPC

simulated RIPC (Sham)

SHAM COMPARATOR

Control group (Sham): Patients will undergo weekly simulated RIC (sham) during the entire span of the chemotherapy period. Each sham session will include four cycles of 5 min blood pressure cuff inflation followed by 5 min deflation.

Device: Simulated RIPC (Sham)

Interventions

RIPCDEVICE

The procedure will be performed by using an electric auto-control device (modified blood pressure monitor for remote ischemic conditioning, Seagull Healthcare Aps, Denmark) for Remote Ischemic Conditioning in the arm. During the inflation period, the blood pressure cuff is inflated to 200 mmHg to stop blood flow in the arm.

Remote Ischemic Conditioning

The procedure will be performed by using an electric auto-control device (modified blood pressure monitor for remote ischemic conditioning, Seagull Healthcare Aps, Denmark) for Remote Ischemic Conditioning in the arm. During the inflation period, the blood pressure cuff is inflated to a low pressure not stopping blood flow in the arm.
