This study aims to evaluate the Impact of a topical Lotion, CG428, on permanent chemotherapy induced hair and scalp disorders in Cancer survivors. This is a double-blind, single center, randomized, controlled trial in breast cancer survivors. Hair condition and parameters of 61 breast cancer survivors who were previously included in DERMA study (a prospective cohort study to assess appearance changes due to breast cancer treatment completed in July, 13th,2013) will be assessed. 1. Patients whose hair parameters are below the baseline as measured before the start of the chemotherapy or 2. who complain from incomplete hair regrowth will be eligible to participate in the randomized controlled trial. Patients who agree to participant in the study will be randomly assigned to two parallel arms (Arm 1: CG428/ Arm 2: Placebo). Patients will self-administer the study product or placebo twice per day (morning, evening) for 6 months, for the efficacy assessment. Primary endpoint was recovery of hair thickness 6 months after intervention as assessed using Folliscope 4.0. Secondary endpoints included hair density at 6 months after intervention, distress due to chemotherapy induced alopecia, scalp skin parameters (water and sebum). Patient-reported hair quality improvement, body image and quality of life, and time to first visible improvement based on global photographs of hair and nails.
