Breast Cancer Female Clinical Trial
Official title:
Hair-Safe Study: Scalp Cooling for Hair Saving in Women Undergoing Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy (CT) is a frequent and well established treatment in women with breast and gynecological tumors. Alopecia is one of the most common side effects of CT seriously impairing patient quality of life and body image. While other CT associated side effects can be controlled by supportive treatment strategy, adequate preventive measures for alopecia have been lacking. New evidence supports the efficacy of scalp cooling for alopecia prevention during CT.
Scalp cooling using cooling caps has been identified as an effective treatment option against CT-induced alopecia in numerous European countries. Originally, crashed ice was used to cause vasoconstriction and consequently diminish CT uptake to hair follicles during CT. Soon, this method turned out impractically and has been displaced by cooling caps which allow a constant cooling of the scalp while easy handling. However, effectiveness of scalp cooling depends on different factors such as hair texture, chemotherapy regimen, dose of chemotherapy, cooling time, and compliance of the patient. Recent studies focused on alopecia prevention more than on patients' quality of life and satisfaction. Therefore, data on routine use of cool caps with a focus on efficiency in daily routine and patients' acceptability are missing. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) provide results assessed by the use of a patient's report about his or her own health condition "without amendment or interpretation by a clinician or anyone else" and are a valuable source of information when evaluating clinical interventions or treatment toxicity in intervention studies in oncology. PROs can be perfectly used to evaluate the implication of scalp cooling regarding hair preservation but also quality of life outcome which seems even more important. Women with breast- or gynecological cancer receiving taxane- or anthracycline-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy are included in the study. Chemotherapy can be neoadjuvant, adjuvant or palliative. Up to two lines of chemotherapy are allowed. Scalp cooling with a maintenance temperature of 17°C will be initiated 30 minutes prior to each chemotherapy cycle and stopped 90 minutes after CT. Patients are assessed for alopecia and qualitiy of life. ;
