Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a phase III, single-center, prospective, open-label, randomized,controlled study

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To conduct a prospective randomized controlled study comparing the effect of scalp cooling system (DigniCap) and chemical cold cap on preventing chemotherapy-induced alopecia in a group of breast cancer patients receiving standard anthracycline followed paclitaxel regimens. To obtain the exact data on the role of different methods of preventing alopecia in Chinese women with breast cancer.

PASS 11 software was used to calculate the sample size. According to the results of previous studies, the hair retention rate of the cold cap group was 67.7%, the hair retention rate of the scalp cooling system group was 50.5%, α=0.05,Power=0.8. The sample size was calculated to be at least 128 cases in each group, 256 cases in total.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

scalp cooling system

'Scalp cooling device' will be used to prevent alopecia during chemotherapy regimen infusion.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Scalp cooling system

Intervention Type DEVICE

Scalp cooling was initiated 30 minutes prior to each chemotherapy cycle, with scalp temperature maintained at 3°C (37°F) throughout chemotherapy and for 90 minutes to 120 minutes afterward. Temperature of scalp cooling system can be controlled constantly, the effect of reducing scalp temperature maybe better and patient tolerance maybe better. Meanwhile, there is a higher likelihood of hair retention due to a tight fit in scalp cooling system.

cold cap

'Cold cap' will be used to prevent alopecia during chemotherapy regimen infusion.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Cold cap

Intervention Type DEVICE

The operation of chemical cold cap is convenient and the price was low, and the economic burden of patients was not increased. But it is necessary to replace the cold cap periodically during chemotherapy, and the temperature during chemotherapy is difficult to keep constant.
