Cooling Cap Trial to Prevent Permanent Chemotherapy-induced Alopecia in

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to examine whether the PSCS2 is effective in reducing chemotherapy-induced alopecia in woman with breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy. Female adults who are newly diagnosed with stage 1-3 breast cancer and expected to receive Adriamycin or/and Taxane will participate in the study. The study design is a open label, randomized controlled trial. The patients will be randomly assigned to intervention or control groups. Intervention patients will have applied scalp cooling during 4 or 6 cycles of their chemotherapy. Primary endpoint is the effectiveness of the PSCS2 for reducing permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia. Secondary endpoints include chemotherapy-induced alopecia, distress due to chemotherapy induced alopecia, quality of life, and patient-reported alopecia related side effect.

Clinical Trial Description

Adjuvant chemotherapy decreases the risk of recurrence. However, it has distressing side effects, including alopecia. Chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) is a common and distressing side effect of many chemotherapy drugs. In previous study, more than half of the breast cancer patients experienced higher distress due to CIA during cancer treatment, and this distress was strongly associated with negative body image, overall health status, and psychosocial well-being. Recently scalp cooling has been known to be one of the effective options for hair loss prevention. However there was little information regarding the effect on prevention of permanent CIA(PCIA). This study aims to examine the impact of scalp cooling on prevention of PCIA as well as CIA. Female adults who are newly diagnosed with stage 1-3 breast cancer and aged less than 70 years will be screened for plan of undergoing Adriamycin or/and Taxane regimen as neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to intervention or control groups (2:1 ratio). Patients in intervention group will have applied scalp cooling during 4 or 6 cycles of their chemotherapy whereas participants in control group will be observed. The objective of the study is to examine whether Paxman scalp cooling system is effective in reducing PCIA in women with breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy. In addition, impact of Paxman scalp cooling on prevention of CIA, alopecia-related distress, quality of life and patient-reported alopecia related side effect will be also explored. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
