SCALp Cooling for pReventing aLopecia With nEw anTibody-drug Conjugates
Sponsor: Jules Bordet Institute
Summary
The goal of this interventional study is to determine if scalp cooling (by the Paxman Scalp Cooling System) reduces the extent and severity of alopecia in participants with advanced solid tumours receiving ADC. The main question it aims to evaluate the efficacy of scalp cooling in reducing chemotherapy-induced alopecia in participants with advanced/metastatic solid tumours receiving antibody-drug conjugates (trastuzumab-deruxtecan, sacituzumab-govitecan, or datopotamab-deruxtecan), as assessed by blinded central dermatological review. Researchers will compare the experimental arm (ADC treatment + scalp cooling) with the control arm (ADC only). Scalp cooling will be done each day of ADC treatment : before, during and post-infusions of their ADC treatment.

Interventions
scalp cooling
scalp cooling at -10°C for each cycle of ADC, subjects will ubdergo scalp cooling : 30 minutes prior ADC treatment, during ADC treatment and 90 minutes following ADC treatment
photographs via the Belle.AI app
artificial intelligence-based software tool designed for standardised photographic documentation and automated assessment of alopecia severity using the Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) scale generated AI Score will be blinded for investigator and patient outcome does not impact treatment of the subject
Antibody-Drug Conjugates
study will randomize female participants receiving one of the following ADCs as part of their standard-of-care treatment: sacituzumab-govitecan, trastuzumab-deruxtecan, or datopotamab-deruxtecan.
