The Lily Device Trial for Chemotherapy-Induced Hair Loss
This study is testing a device called the Lily Device to see if it can help prevent hair loss caused by chemotherapy. It also aims to understand how safe the Lily Device is. You might be able to join if you are an adult (18 or older) with breast cancer (stages 1, 2, or 3) who is about to start certain types of chemotherapy and has not yet had any other treatments. The study will look at whether your hair is preserved after 4 cycles of chemotherapy, as judged by a healthcare professional. The study is planning to enroll 85 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention (the Lily Device). It plans to enroll 85 participants.
- What's involved
- Participants will wear the Lily Device during each chemotherapy session and for 2 to 4 hours afterward. This will continue for at least 4 cycles of chemotherapy.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your safety will be monitored from when you join the study until a visit 30 days after your last treatment.

What this trial measures
- Success in hair preservation using the Lily device after 4 cycles of chemotherapy, where hair preservation is defined as CTCAE v5.0 grade ≤ 1 alopecia determined by an independent healthcare professional.After 4 cycles of chemotherapy (each cycle is 14 - 21 days dependent on the chemotherapy regimen)
A cycle of chemotherapy relates to the delivery of the chemotherapy regimen. In particular: * Participants on regimens delivered every 3 weeks - 1 chemotherapy treatment = 1 cycle. * Participants on regimens delivered every 2 weeks - 1 chemotherapy treatment = 1 cycle. * Participants on regimens delivered every 1 week - 3 chemotherapy treatments = 1 cycle. In CTCAE v5.0 alopecia grades are described as below: * Grade 0: No hair loss * Grade 1: Hair loss of \<50% of normal for that individual that is not obvious from a distance but only on close inspection; a different hair style may be required to cover the hair loss, but it does not require a wig or hair piece to camouflage. * Grade 2: Hair loss of ≥50% normal for that individual that is readily apparent to others; a wig or hair piece is necessary if the patient desires to completely camouflage the hair loss; associated with psychosocial impact.
- Primary Safety Endpoint - Subject incidence of Grade 1 or above ADE, graded with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0.From enrollment in the study until the end of study visit, taking place 30 days after the last treatment visit
Adverse events will be graded as per the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0
