Participants include female breast cancer patients who either receive endocrine therapy and suffer from endocrine induced alopecia or suffer from post chemotherapy induced alopecia.

Participants will receive PRP obtained with PRP harvesting kits on one side of the scalp and no injections on the other side of the scalp (split-scalp technique). The entire half of the intended scalp will receive inter-follicular injections of PRP under aseptic conditions at the amount of 0.05-0.1 ml/cm2 in a retrograde fashion from deep to superficial, at every centimeter throughout the treated site. For study purposes, Study Day 0 is defined as the first day of injection. Subsequently the patient will continue therapy every 4 weeks for a total of 3 injections (12 weeks).

Platelet Rich Plasma system

Anthony M Rossi, MD

Participants who enroll in this study will undergo the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) study treatment. Participants will have a sample of blood collected and the platelets will be separated and then injected into half of the participants' scalp every 4 weeks for 12 weeks.

A Study of PRP Treatment for Hair Loss After Cancer Therapy in Women With Breast Cancer

A Pilot Study of the Clinical Effectiveness of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for the Treatment of Endocrine Therapy-Induced Alopecia (EIA) and Permanent Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia (pCIA) in Breast Cancer Patients

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center supports the international committee of medical journal editors (ICMJE) and the ethical obligation of responsible sharing of data from clinical trials. The protocol summary, a statistical summary, and informed consent form will be made available on clinicaltrials.gov when required as a condition of Federal awards, other agreements supporting the research and/or as otherwise required. Requests for deidentified individual participant data can be made beginning 12 months after publication and for up to 36 months post publication. Deidentified individual participant data reported in the manuscript will be shared under the terms of a Data Use Agreement and may only be used for approved proposals. Requests may be made to: crdatashare@mskcc.org.

The primary endpoint of this study is the is the relative density in scalp hair at week 12compared to baseline (week 0) between treatment and observation sides of the scalp. The study investigator will use the 7-point GAS (-3 = greatly decreased, -2 = moderately decreased, -1 = slightly decreased, 0 = no change, +1 = slightly increased, +2 = moderately increased, and +3 = greatly increased) to evaluate relative differences in hair density.
