Condition: Alopecia · Sponsor: Charles Mays
This single-blind, randomized controlled trial is proposed to assess the effects of the PAXMAN Scalp Cooling System on the quality of life of breast cancer subjects receiving any treatment regimen consisting of a chemotherapy agent known to cause chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA). Quality of life will be measured using the Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia Distress Scale (CADS) for cancer patients pre-and post-treatment. Simultaneously, the effect of scalp cooling on hair retention and regrowth will be determined by self-reported grading of photographic assessment using the Alopecia (Hair Loss) Pictorial Tool. Results will be correlated with presence of single nucleotide variations (SNVs) rs3820706 in the CACNB4 gene and rs1202179 in the ABCB1 gene. Participants will be blinded to genetic results until the completion of the study to prevent bias, as knowing results could influence the participants' behavior.
