Clinical Investigation on the Treatment of Radiation Induced Dermatitis With Radiation Care® Gel...

Radiation Dermatitis

The radiotherapy after surgery reduces the risk of recurrence and death is widely used for standard treatment for cancer including breast cancer and head and neck cancer. However, radiation dermatitis is a common side effect and major adverse event of radiotherapy. Radiation induces skin inflammation resulting in redness, itchiness and peeling skin. Radiation dermatitis may be acute or chronic. Acute skin changes occur within 90 days of initiating therapy due to inflammation and DNA damage and chronic skin changes may occur after several weeks or years. Radiation-irritated skin is a treatment-induced symptom caused by radiation dose-limiting toxicity. It damages skin structure and causes a variety of symptoms of cuticle thinning, reducing of collagen in subcutaneous, sweat glands damage, sebaceous glands damage and basal membrane damage. These conditions lead patients to lost work productivity, wound care costs, social isolation, altered body image and affect a patient's quality of life and mental health both during and after treatment and even interrupts the treatment schedule. The treatment of radiation dermatitis is an essential component of radiotherapy. The common treatment includes agents and other dressing products, such as corticosteroid cream, hyaluronic acid, aloe and sucralfate, which are used to prevent or reduce severity of dermatitis. But there is no clear therapeutic or nursing guideline supporting continuous treatment of radiation dermatitis by topical agents currently. In this study, Radiation Care® gel which contain Japanese honeysuckle extract will be used in breast and head and neck cancer patients to test the safety and efficacy to prevent radiation dermatitis and alleviate their radiation-irritated skin symptoms. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of "Radiation Care" gel application in breast cancer and head and neck cancer patients who have radiation dermatitis or radiation-irritated skin due to the radiotherapy.

Evaluation of Fenofibrate on Radiation-induced Skin Injury

Radiodermatitis

Fenofibrate is a specific ligand for PPARα, which has been used for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases for long time. Fenofibrate reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and triglyceride levels, while increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. PPARα has also shown antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Fenofibrate confers cytoprotective effect against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats by suppressing cell apoptosis and ameliorates age-related renal injury through the activation of AMPK and SIRT1 signaling. However, the safety and effectiveness of fenofibrate on the progression of radiation-induced skin injury remain unknown. The purpose of this study is to determine whether topical application of fenofibrate is safe and effective for radiation-induced skin injury.

Clinical Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of KAM1403 Gel to Treat Radiation Dermatitis

Radiation Dermatitis

The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of KAM1403 GEL in reducing the symptoms of mild to moderate Radiation Dermatitis. Efficacy will be evaluated by comparing symptoms assessment during and post radiotherapy: erythema, desquamation, edema, moist desquamation and ulceration in the KAM1403 Gel treated group versus a group of subjects treated with the Aloe vera Gel (the control group). In addition, a comparison will be made between subjects' self evaluation in the treatment group versus the control group. Safety will be determined by the number and severity of Adverse Events Device-Related.

Exploratory Study of Topical Norepinephrine in Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Radiotherapy

Radiodermatitis

This study, a nonrandomized open-label safety and exploratory study, will evaluate the safety of topical norepinephrine in post-surgical breast cancer patients who are undergoing radiation therapy. The study will also provide information about whether topical norepinephrine can prevent or decrease the severity of the radiation dermatitis experienced by these patients.

The Role of Calcipotriol as Radioprotector of Skin

Radiodermatitis

Examining the hypothesis that protecting keratinocytes by calcipotriol can prevent in-vivo cutaneous side effect in patients receiving radiotherapy to the breast. To check the connection between the skin effect of radiotherapy and different parameters including diseases such as diabetes and lupus, use of medications, allergies, weight, habits, size of the irradiated breast, previous chemotherapy treatment and exposure to sunlight.

Evaluation the Effectiveness of Ru-Yi-Jin-Huang Powder for the Radiation-induced Dermatitis.

Radiation Dermatitis

Radiation-induced dermatitis is the most common complication of radiotherapy for cancer treatment. However, there is no satisfactory management to deal with the problem. Ru-Yi-Jin-Huang Powder is one of most common topical TCM drug to treat skin diseases but lack of evidence to support efficacy. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of Ru-Yi-Jin-Huang Powder for radiation-induced dermatitis.

Pilot Study of the Effect of Laser on Reversing Chronic Radiation Injury

Chronic Radiation Dermatitis

Radiotherapy, an essential modality in cancer treatment, frequently induces a fibrotic process in the skin which can lead to increased risk of malignancy, poor wound healing, pain and limitation of movement, and permanent loss of skin appendages with hyper/hypopigmentation, decreased sweating and xerosis, posing significant cosmetic and quality of life issues. Advances in laser therapy has led to the use of fractional laser treatment (FLT) to treat fibrosis associated with in hypertrophic scars and morphea, leading to tissue repair, scar remodeling. The investigators propose a pilot clinical study to test the hypothesis that FLT can normalize the fibrotic process and induce normal scar remodeling in patients affected by chronic radiation injury. Understanding and correcting this underlying fibrotic process can help restore normal skin functions in patients affected with chronic radiation dermatitis (RD) and other debilitating fibrotic diseases in dermatology such as scleroderma, morphea, or nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.

Evaluation of Therapeutic Efficacy in Use of Chamomilla Gel, Chamomilla Infuse and Urea in Radiodermatitis...

Radiodermatitis

This study aims to evaluate therapeutics interventions in radiodermatitis in patients with breast or head and neck cancer. The data collect is going to begin after determining the better dose in a dose-response curve that is being conduct now in the same institution. To evaluate the skin reaction will be applied scale of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) - Acute Radiation Morbidity Scoring Criteria, Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) and Radiation-Induced Skin Reaction Assessment Scale (RISRAS).
