About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Breast Cancer focused on measuring Breast Cancer, Alopecia, Scalp, Cooling

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • New diagnosis of breast cancer stage 1-2
  • Planning to undergo neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy with curative intent
  • Chemotherapy must be planned for at least 4 cycles of full-dose anthracycline or taxane based chemotherapy regimen,
  • Defined as one of the following regimens: - Adriamycin 60mg/m2 with cyclophosphamide 600mg/m2 - Epirubicin 90-100mg/m2 with cyclophosphamide 600mg/m2 - Doxorubicin 50mg/m2 with 5-Fluroruacil 500mg/m2 and Cyclophosphamide 500mg/m2 - Paclitaxel 80mg-90/m2 weekly (every three weeks constitute a cycle), or 175 mg/m2 every 2-3 weeks as a single agent - Docetaxel 100mg/m2 as a single agent - Docetaxel 75mg/m2-100mg/m2 with pertuzumab and traztuzumab at standard doses - Docetaxel 75mg/m2 with cyclophosphamide 600mg/m2 - Docetaxel 75mg/m2 with carboplatin AUC of 6 and trastuzumab at standard doses
  • Concurrent traztuzumab at standard doses is allowed
  • Concurrent pertuzumab at standard doses is allowed
  • Administration of chemotherapy on a dose dense schedule is allowed as clinically indicated.
  • Subjects must have TSH collected within 1 year prior to treatment and found within normal range.
  • If patient has a history of diabetes, Hemoglobin A1c must be drawn within 3 months prior to treatment and found to be within normal limits.
  • CBC and CMP should be done within 4 weeks prior to treatment and found to be within acceptable limits.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Stage 3 or 4 breast cancer or any other concurrent malignancy including hematological malignancies (i.e. leukemia or lymphoma)
  • Baseline alopecia (defined CTCAE v4.0 grade > 0, see appendix B for CTCAE v4.0 scale)
  • Subjects with cold agglutinin disease or cold urticaria
  • Subjects who are scheduled for bone marrow ablation chemotherapy
  • Subjects receiving chemotherapy with concurrent anthracycline and taxane (AT or TAC)
  • Male gender
  • Age >= 70 years

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Hair Preservation
The primary efficacy endpoint will be success in hair preservation, defined as CTCAE v 4 alopecia grade <2, and will be assessed by a healthcare professional who is blinded to study treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Time to First Recurrence and Overall Survival
A safety follow-up for safety data will be done yearly for 5 years looking at time to first recurrence of breast cancer, overall survival, site of first recurrence, and incidence of isolated scalp metastasis. This will be collected during routine clinical observation

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Determine that the Orbis Paxman Hair Loss Prevention System is safe and effective in reducing chemotherapy-induced alopecia in woman with breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy.
Detailed Description
Cooling the scalp during chemotherapy may help reduce the chances of losing hair during treatment. The investigators are hoping that using the PAXMAN Orbis Scalp Cooling Device may stop patients who are undergoing chemotherapy from losing their hair.

Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Hair Preservation
Description
The primary efficacy endpoint will be success in hair preservation, defined as CTCAE v 4 alopecia grade <2, and will be assessed by a healthcare professional who is blinded to study treatment.
Time Frame
4 to 8 Months
Secondary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Time to First Recurrence and Overall Survival
Description
A safety follow-up for safety data will be done yearly for 5 years looking at time to first recurrence of breast cancer, overall survival, site of first recurrence, and incidence of isolated scalp metastasis. This will be collected during routine clinical observation
Time Frame
5 years
Other Pre-specified Outcome Measures:
Title
Improved Quality of Life
Description
Improved quality of life as a result of reduced hair loss is a primary motivator for developing the Paxman Scalp Cooling device. Quality of life will be assessed at baseline and 2-3 weeks after each course of chemotherapy. Three widely used and validated scales will be used: the EORTC QLQ C-30, HADS and BIS. Subjects will be evaluated at multiple time points and data will be analyzed using descriptive methods with median and inter quartile rang to assess the effect of treatment group and alopecia status on functioning, quality of life and depression.
Time Frame
4 to 8 Months
