Abstract Background: Post-menopausal women with estrogen receptor positive breast cancer (BC) are typically prescribed endocrine therapy with an aromatase inhibitor (AI) for 5-10 years following BC diagnosis. AIs have multiple established side effects related to estrogen deprivation including vasomotor symptoms, vaginal dryness, and accelerated bone thinning. Many patients also complain about the impact of AIs on skin quality; however, limited data currently exists, particularly with objective measurements of skin quality. Canfield Sciences VISIA-CA is a device that can be used to objectively measure skin changes using patented comparison to norms analysis with a skin feature database to grade the skin relative to others in the same age and skin type. Herein, we aim to evaluate changes in skin quality with the Canfield Sciences VISIA-CA Device after initiation of AI therapy and investigate potential benefits of skincare intervention. Trial Design: This is a pilot study aiming to describe changes in skin quality after initiation of AI therapy in BC survivors through use of VISIA-CA technology and patient reported outcome measures. This study will allow us to collect data and identify the trend (if any) for a future larger study. Patients who consent for participation are given a baseline survey to assess self-reported quality of life, perception of skin quality, and self-image prior to initiation of AI. Patients also receive baseline skin measurement with the VISIA-CA device and facial skin photography. Baseline skincare regimen is documented. Any patients on prescription tretinoin products at time of baseline assessment are excluded from the study. Patients return 6 months after initiation of AI for follow-up surveys, updated VISIA-CA measurement, and facial skin photography. Patients then meet with a Mayo Clinic Cosmetic Center aesthetician for skincare intervention with recommended topical treatments including daily facial cleanser, exfoliator, toner, hydrating crème, and retinol-based product. Patients return for additional visits with updated survey, VISIA-CA measurement, and facial skin photography at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after skincare intervention. Patients are asked to complete skincare compliance diary to document adherence on a weekly basis. Eligibility Criteria: Post-menopausal patients with newly diagnosed ER-positive BC at Mayo Clinic Florida are identified for participation in the study prior to beginning AI therapy. Specific Aims: 1.) Evaluate the incidence and severity of skin changes after initiation of AI therapy in BC survivors through use of Canfield Sciences VISIA-CA technology, facial skin photography, and validated patient reported outcome measures. 2.) Assess for objective improvements in skin quality measurements after skincare intervention including a retinol-based product Statistical Methods: Continuous variables will be summarized as mean (standard deviation) or median (range) and categorical variables will be reported as frequency (percentage). The changes of skin measurement and patient reported outcome measurements will be calculated and summarized for the following time frames: 1) from initiation of AI therapy to 26 weeks after 2) from the initiation of skincare intervention and 4 weeks, 12 weeks, and 26 weeks after. Appropriate statistical plots will be used to illustrate the change. Target Accrual: 50 patients.
