About this study

Official title: Efficacy of the Use of a Refrigerant Helmet to Prevent Alopecia in Patients Treated With Eribulin for Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Pretreated With Anthracyclines and Taxanes

HALACAP-1406 is a prospective single-centre non-interventional study assessing the refrigerant helmet use as medical device to prevent alopecia induced by eribulin (Halaven®) in the conditions of use specified in its marketing authorization. Eribulin will be used alone for the treatment of the patients having a locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer which have progressed after at least 1 chemotherapy regimen for their advanced stage.

Read the detailed description

A nurse will meet the patient and present the study, then the patient will be invited to participate. If the patient is interested, an information note will be given and the non-opposition of the patient will be collected.

Patients will be registered via a registration form and an inclusion number will be attributed at each patient.

Eribulin will be used within the framework of its marketing authorization, per cycle of 21 days, at day 1 and day 8.

Modalities of refrigerant helmet use will be set according to the habits of the Oscar Lambret center with the following rules :

  • Placement of a single-use non-woven hygiene cap on the scalp
  • T-15 minutes: placement of the refrigerant helmet
  • T0: begin of eribulin infusion (duration: 2-5 minutes)
  • T+15 minutes: rinse of the line
  • T+30 minutes: withdrawal of the helmet

Efficacy will be evaluated before treatment and at each eribulin cycle.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Alopecia grade after 3 cycles of eribulin according to NCI-CTCAE v4.0

    Efficacy of the refrigerant helmet : Alopecia grade after 3 cycles of eribulin

    Measured: on the day 1 of cycle 4

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse events graded according to NCI-CTCAE v4.0

    Tolerance of the refrigerant helmet : graduation of adverse events lived by patients

    Measured: every 28 days : at day 1 of each cycle during 3 cycles
