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.
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.. 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.. 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).. 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.
