EXPERIMENTALAny adult woman with a new diagnosis of breast cancer, Stage I-III
Interventions
Scalp cooling will occur with each dose of chemotherapy.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age 18 years or older
- New diagnosis of breast cancer stage I-IV
- Planning to undergo neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy with curative intent
- Chemotherapy must be planned for at least 4 cycles of full-dose anthracycline plus cyclophosphamide followed by taxane based chemotherapy regimen:
- Concurrent trastuzumab 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
- For women of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test is needed within 7 days prior to study intervention, or whenever collected as per standard of care. For women who undergo fertility preservation or ovarian stimulation, a negative pregnancy test is not needed and eligibility due to positive pregnancy test will be determined by investigator discretion.
You may not qualify if:
- Any other concurrent malignancy including hematological malignancies (i.e. leukemia or lymphoma)
- Baseline alopecia (defined CTCAE v5.0 grade \> 1)
- Subjects who are scheduled for bone marrow ablation chemotherapy
- Male gender
- Age \>/= 75 years
- Personal history of migraines, cluster or tension headaches as defined as actual medical diagnosis by a physician and/or prescribed medications. If personal history of migraines was related to a past medical problem that is now resolved, subject may go on study at the discretion of the Principal Investigator.
- Subjects who have had prior chemotherapy
- Subjects who have had \>/=1 previous chemotherapy exposure resulting in alopecia
- An existing history of scalp metastases or suspected presence of scalp metastasis
- Subjects with cold sensitivity, cryoglobulinemia, cryofibrinogenemia, or cold migraine pot-traumatic cold dystrophy
- Previously received, or scheduled to undergo skull irradiation
