A Pilot Study of Losartan to Reduce Radiation Induced Fibrosis in Breast Cancer Patients
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Losartan 25 milligram capsule and Placebo for Radiation Induced Fibrosis. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 43 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will evaluate the efficacy of losartan (LOS), an FDA-approved transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) blocker, to decrease radiation induced fibrosis (RIF) in the breast and the lung of breast cancer patients, testing the hypothesis that Losartan will decrease RIF, TGF- β1 and cellular senescence/inflammation in the breast and the lung of irradiated breast cancer patients relative to placebo treatment and consequently improve clinical outcomes in breast cancer patients.
