The Lily Device Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to test if the Lily Device works to reduce chemotherapy induced hair loss in patients. It will also learn about the safety of the Lily Device. The main questions it aims to answer is:

* Do patient preserve their hair using the Lily Device after 4 cycles of chemotherapy, when hair preservation is a Grade ≤1 graded by an independent healthcare professional on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)? * What is the subject incidence of Grade 1 or above Adverse Device Events (ADE's)?

  • Participation in this study at an earlier stage.

Treatment and study plan

Lily Device

Device

Participants will wear the Lily Device at each chemotherapy session for the prescribed duration, where the device must be used during infusion and for at least two (2) hours and up to four (4) hours post infusion.

Primary outcomes

  1. 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.

    Time frame: 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.
  2. Primary Safety Endpoint - Subject incidence of Grade 1 or above ADE, graded with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0.

    Time frame: 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

Secondary outcomes

  1. Hair preservation experienced with the Lily device after 4 cycles of chemotherapy (each cycle is 14 - 21 days dependent on the chemotherapy regimen)as assessed by the Subject according to the Dean Scale, with Grade 0, 1 or 2 defined as success.

    Time frame: After 4 cycles of chemotherapy

    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 the Dean Scale alopecia grades are described as below:

    • Grade 0: No hair loss
    • Grade 1: Hair loss of <25%
    • Grade 2: Hair loss of 25% ≤ hair loss < 50%
    • Grade 3: 50% ≤ hair loss < 75%
    • Grade 4: hair loss ≥ 75%
  2. Concordance between percentage of patients with hair preservation after 4 cycles of chemotherapy as assessed by the independent healthcare professional and by the Subject.

    Time frame: After 4 cycles of chemotherapy (each cycle is 14 - 21 days dependent on the chemotherapy regimen)

  3. Percentage of patients with success in hair preservation using the Lily device after 4 cycles of chemotherapy in subgroups of Subject race.

    Time frame: After 4 cycles of chemotherapy (each cycle is 14 - 21 days dependent on the chemotherapy regimen)

  4. Percentage of patients with success in hair preservation using the Lily device after 4 cycles of chemotherapy in subgroups of Subject ethnicity.

    Time frame: After 4 cycles of chemotherapy (each cycle is 14 - 21 days dependent on the chemotherapy regimen)

  5. Percentage of patients with success in hair preservation using the Lily device after 4 cycles of chemotherapy in subgroups of chemotherapy regimens.

    Time frame: After 4 cycles of chemotherapy (each cycle is 14 - 21 days dependent on the chemotherapy regimen)

  6. Percentage of patients with success in hair preservation using the Lily device after 4 cycles of chemotherapy in subgroups of study site.

    Time frame: After 4 cycles of chemotherapy (each cycle is 14 - 21 days dependent on the chemotherapy regimen)

  7. Quality of life experienced by the Subject as assessed by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) quality-of-life metrics after 4 cycles of chemotherapy.

    Time frame: After 4 cycles of chemotherapy (each cycle is 14 - 21 days dependent on the chemotherapy regimen)

  8. Compliance rate, defined as the ratio of prescribed wear time versus actual wear time.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end treatment at the last cycle (each cycle is 14 - 21 days dependent on the chemotherapy regimen)

  9. Event incidence of Grade 1 or above ADE.

    Time frame: From study enrollment to the end of study visit, 30 days after the last treatment visit (i.e 30 days after their final chemotherapy treatment and final treatment with the Lily Device)

  10. Subject incidence of ADEs by grade, as measured with CTCAE v5.0.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of study visit, 30 days after the last treatment visit (i.e 30 days after their final chemotherapy treatment and final treatment with the Lily Device)

  11. Subject incidence of serious ADEs.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of study visit, 30 days after the last treatment visit (i.e 30 days after their final chemotherapy treatment and final treatment with the Lily Device).

  12. Adverse events of special interest (AESIs) incidence relating to scalp metastasis.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of study visit, 30 days after the last treatment visit (i.e 30 days after their final chemotherapy treatment and final treatment with the Lily Device).

Other outcomes

  1. Percentage of patients with hair preservation by hair type, based on standardized photographs acquired as part of the primary endpoint

    Time frame: After 4 cycles of chemotherapy (each cycle is 14 - 21 days dependent on the chemotherapy regimen)
