Risk of Distinctive Hair Changes Associated With Pazopanib in Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) Versus Patients Without RCC: A Comparative Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Clinical Genitourinary Cancer 2017 June
OBJECTIVE: This systematic review and meta-analysis was accomplished with the purpose of evaluating the risk of encountering selected hair changes in patients with cancer receiving pazopanib.
METHODS: We favored relevant prospective randomized phase II and III trials that assessed pazopanib in patients with cancer, depicting various hair-related changes, as eligible for inclusion.
RESULTS: After elimination of ineligible studies, a total of 11 clinical trials were regarded as eligible for the meta-analysis. The relative risk of all-grade alopecia and hair color changes was 1.75 (95% confidence interval, 1.33-2.31; P < .0001) and 4.54 (95% confidence interval, 3.67-5.62; P < .00001), respectively. Subgroup analyses of hair color changes according to the type of cancer treated revealed significant differences between renal cell carcinoma and non-renal cell carcinoma studies (P = .01).
CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis has established that pazopanib-based treatment can be significantly correlated to an elevated risk of all grade alopecia and hair color changes compared with controls.
