Study Description

Brief Summary: This study is being done to see if the Paxman scalp cooling device can prevent hair loss in pediatric patients receiving chemotherapy for non-cancerous conditions or solid tumors. Primary Objective * To assess the safety and feasibility of the use of a scalp cooling device in pediatric and young adult patients receiving chemotherapy for non-malignant conditions and solid tumors. Exploratory Objectives * To assess the incidence and intensity of chemotherapy induced hair loss in patients receiving chemotherapy for non-malignant conditions and solid tumors who have used a scalp cooling device.

Detailed Description: Participants receiving cooling cap therapy will receive scalp hypothermia as delivered by the scalp cooling system and as per the manufacturers recommendations. Scalp cooling will begin at least 30-45 minutes prior to administration of each chemotherapy (45 minutes for those with thick or coarse hair types). Scalp temperature will be maintained at +3°C (37°F) throughout drug administration and for at least 120-180 minutes after discontinuing the infusion. A trained study staff member will be present to place the cool cap on the participant, ensure proper fit, begin the cooling process, and ensure functionality. The bedside nurse on the inpatient unit will monitor the participants during the duration of cool cap therapy while also receiving chemotherapy infusion. A trained study team member will be available for any questions or issues that may arise during this time. When the participant is ready to remove the cooling cap a trained study team member will return to shut off the device, remove the cap, and assess the participant.
