NCT07081074
Radiation dermatitis is a common complication in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients receiving radiotherapy. This study proposes an ROS-scavenging amino acid-based nanolipid to prevent oxidative skin damage. A multicenter randomized trial will evaluate its safety and efficacy in reducing dermatitis severity and improving treatment continuity.
NCT04173247
This is a single site, randomized, open-label comparison pilot study to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of KeraStat Cream compared with routine skin care (RSC) in managing radiotherapy-induced early adverse skin reaction (EASR) in patients undergoing radiotherapy to the head and/or neck. Hypothesis: The use of KeraStat Cream in patients receiving radiotherapy for head and neck is feasible, tolerable, and reduces the severity of early adverse skin reaction in the treated region of interest.
NCT04110977
The goal of this randomized trial is to investigate whether the addition of a reminder app to standard care leads to a reduction of dermatitis and oral mucositis during radio(chemo)therapy for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head-and-neck (SCCHN). The primary endpoint is the rate of patients experiencing grade ≥2 radiation dermatitis at 60 Gy of radiotherapy. 80 patients are required per arm within the full analysis set. Taking into account that 5% of patients will not qualify for full analysis set, 168 patients should be randomized. If the addition of a reminder app to standard care will result in a significant reduction of radiation toxicity, it could become a helpful tool for these patients.
NCT03394417
This is a phase IV, prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial with 2 study arms. The study population will be patients receiving chemoradiation for head and neck carcinomas, the majority of whom will be outpatients unless they require inpatient supportive care during treatment. There will be a 12 to 14-week longitudinal follow-up with 9 assessments conducted during this follow-up. The estimated duration of recruitment will be 6-8 years. Intervention group If a patient is allocated to the intervention group following randomization, the patient will be treated with StrataXRT. Control group If a patient is allocated to the control group following randomization, the patient will be treated with standard clinical practice which consists of aqueous cream.
NCT05693597
Radiation induced dermatitis (RID) is one of the leading adverse events of radiation therapy, and if occurred could alter the course of therapy. The main pathways of RID is inflammation and oxidative stress on local and systemic bases. Nigella sativa is an herbal medicine whose anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities have been proven in several clinical trials. Thus, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of Nigella sativa as a prophylactic method against the development of RID.
NCT05810194
Routinely collected data on radiation-induced skin toxicity from 2010 to 2022 will be retrospectively analyzed. Data will be split into two cohorts: patients that received 1) StrataXRT and 2) standard of care. The incidence of grade ≥ 2 radiation dermatitis, the time to onset of grade ≥ 2 radiation dermatitis, the radiation dose at onset of grade ≥ 2 radiation dermatitis, the incidence of moist desquamation and the number of treatment interruptions will be compared between the cohorts.
NCT06040983
Breast cancer is the top one incidence of cancer in women. Whole breast radiation therapy plays an indispensable role in the course of breast cancer treatment, and the radiation dermatitis is the major side effect affected quality of life. Radiation dermatitis can be divided into acute and chronic. Severe acute radiation dermatitis affects the quality of life of patients during the course of treatment, and may cause treatment interruption and affect the efficacy. Chronic radiation dermatitis may cause irreversible skin problems, and lead to so-called "radiation-irritated skin" (radiation-irritated skin) seriously affects the quality of life of breast cancer patients after treatment. This study will enroll 30 breast cancer patients who received whole breast radiation therapy after breast conserving surgery. Subject will receive FR-101 chest dressing and be instructed to use the product on the target skin area accepted radiation therapy once every 2 days, taking care of avoiding applications from 1 to 4 h before treatment to prevent "Build-up" effect. Subjects will need to come back to clinics for assessment weekly during radiotherapy, 2 weeks after radiotherapy, and 6 weeks after radiotherapy. The evaluation includes physical examinations, questionnaire surveys, skin observation and measurements, and photographs. The total study time is at least 3 months. The target area of radiation-irritated skin condition will be observed and graded according to CTCAE rate. The skin physiological parameters will be detected by MoistureMeter SC, Vapometer, SkinColorCatch and HX-YL001 infrared thermometer. Statistical analysis of skin physiological parameters is used to evaluate the efficacy of FR-101 chest dressing on the prevention of acute radiation dermatitis after radiotherapy.
NCT06001463
Investigate the effects of CSMed® for preventing and managing radiation dermatitis in patients with Breast cancer and Head-Neck cancer receiving radiotherapy (≥50 Gy).
NCT04268056
The purpose of this study is to characterize the skin microbiome profile of breast cancer patients before and after receiving Radio Therapy treatments, and evaluate the relationship between the microbiome profile and radiation dermatitis severity (grade) that the patient will develop. Such characterizations can lead to potential biomarkers and/or therapeutic targets that can be used for the prognosis, prevention and treatment of this condition.
NCT02234479
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Medihoney and Hydrophor on radiation dermatitis reactions in a group of women undergoing radiation therapy for breast cancer. It is hoped that the outcome of this pilot study will provide evidence supporting the use of Medihoney in preventing and treating radiation dermatitis as well as sufficient preliminary data to expand this study to larger, federally funded research (R01) looking at the beneficial aspects of Medihoney across a spectrum of radiation dermatitis and mucositis in several disease settings.
NCT03546803
This study observes a liquid skin protectant that is a polymeric-cyanoacrylate solution designed to protect intact or damaged skin due to radiation.
NCT00573365
Radiation dermatitis is a common side-effect of radiation therapy in cancer patients who frequently can experience redness, pain, crusting, and even ulceration of the skin causing suffering and treatment interruption. A recent retrospective study by DeLand demonstrated that administering light emitting diode (LED) photomodulation after each radiation treatment for breast cancer decreased radiation dermatitis in a majority of patients. LED photomodulation is a process by which specific sequences of light are used to regulate or manipulate cell activity without causing heat or damage to the skin. Each LED treatment is painless and is completed in usually less than one minute. LED photomodulation may reduce the suffering associated with radiation treatments, improve cosmetic outcome in radiation fields, and eliminate breaks in radiation treatments which may be required because of severe ulcerating reactions. This study will attempt to replicate the findings of Dr. DeLand's study by randomly assigning at least 40 breast cancer patients to either a treatment group or to a control group. The treatment group will receive LED photomodulation treatments before and after each radiation treatment with the Gentlewaves Select™ handheld high energy 590nm LED array using specific sequences of pulses used in other studies; the treatment group will also receive 7 additional treatments over 2 weeks after their radiation treatment course is completed. The control group will receive no LED treatment but will use the exact same skin care regimen as the treatment group. In addition to weekly evaluation and grading of skin reactions, subjects will be photographed under standardized conditions weekly and then photographs will be evaluated and graded by blinded dermatologists.
