Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Participants with Breast Cancer

Any adult woman with a new diagnosis of breast cancer, Stage I-III

Device: PAXMAN Scalp Cooler
Scalp cooling will occur with each dose of chemotherapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Safety as assessed by CTCAE [Up to 44 weeks from the start of treatment]

    Safety will be determined by toxicity assessment according to CTCAE

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:
18 Years to 75 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:
Female
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
No
Inclusion Criteria:
  • 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.

Exclusion Criteria:
  • 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
