About this trial
This is a pilot study to evaluate the effects of azeliragon to decrease cardiac toxicity from chemotherapy and the safety of azelirgaon when given with chemotherapy. The Investigators hypothesize that there will be no significant interaction with Azeliragon and chemotherapy and that targeting the RAGE pathway will decrease anthracycline related cardiotoxicity and chemotherapy related cognitive decline.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients must have clinical or pathologic stage I-III, histologically confirmed breast cancer, with any ER (estrogen-receptor), PR (progesterone receptors), or HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) status who are planned to receive chemotherapy in the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting.
Patients must have had no prior chemotherapy/radiotherapy/or systemic therapy for early stage breast cancer, or any other malignancy
Age ≥18 years.
ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status ≤2 (Karnofsky ≥60%, see Appendix D).
Disqualifiers
Patients who have had prior chemotherapy, radiotherapy, systemic therapy, or hormonal therapy
Patients with Stage IV breast cancer
Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents.
History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to azeliragon, or the standard of care chemotherapy assigned, including: docetaxel, cyclophosphamide, carboplatin, doxorubicin, paclitaxel, trastuzumab, pertuzumab, pembrolizumab.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of unacceptable toxicity
Any Adverse Event (AE) considered unrelated to chemotherapy, underlying disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness or concomitant medications/therapies resulting in the inability to tolerate the cycle of chemotherapy
Incidence of severe AE graded according to the CTCAE v.5
Incidence of chemotherapy dose interruption, dose modification, dose discontinuation
Change in Troponin level
• Change in troponin levels after administration of chemotherapy, in those treated with and without azeliragon.
