Trial of OTD70DERM® in Radio-dermatitis Induced by Radiotherapy-Erbitux®

Head and Neck Carcinoma

The aim of this randomized trial is to compare the rate of radio-dermatitis grade 2+ (NCI-CTC V3.0) in patients receiving radiotherapy+Erbitux+placebo versus in patients receiving radiotherapy+Erbitux+OTD70DERM® for the treatment of head and neck carcinoma.

Thermal Imaging to Evaluate Skin Toxicity From Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy Side EffectRadiodermatitis

A significant proportion of patients treated with whole-breast or head and neck radiotherapy will experience skin toxicity, i.e. skin dermatitis, which may lead to erythema, dry desquamation and wet desquamation. It is hypothesized that quantitative thermal imaging can be used to measure radiation-induced skin toxicity.

Bacterial Decolonization to Prevent Radiation Dermatitis

Radiation Dermatitis

The purpose of this study is to determine whether bacterial decolonization of the nares and skin prior to treatment with radiotherapy (RT) for patients with cancers of the head and neck or breast, can prevent high-grade radiation dermatitis (RD) and improve quality of life. This study is being conducted because prior studies from this research group have found bacterial colonization in the nose prior to initiation of RT to be associated with an increased risk of high-grade RD. Patients in the treatment arm will receive pretreatment with mupirocin ointment to the nares and chlorhexidine wash to the body while patients in the control arm will receive standard of care treatment. Bacterial cultures will be taken from the nares and skin, and participants will also complete a quality of life questionnaire before and after RT.

StrataXRT in Preventing Radiation Dermatitis in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Radiation Therapy...

Central Nervous System SarcomaEpendymoma5 more

This phase I trial studies the side effects of a silicone topical wound dressing (StrataXRT) and to see how well it works in preventing radiation dermatitis (skin burns and side effects caused by radiation) in pediatric patients undergoing radiation therapy. StrataXRT may help prevent or decrease severe skin rash, pain, itching, skin peeling, and dry skin in pediatric patients undergoing radiation therapy to the brain or spinal cord.

Dilute Bleach Compresses for Radiation Dermatitis

Radiation Dermatitis

This study is looking at the safety of applying dilute bleach compresses to patients receiving radiation therapy and the impact of these dilute bleach compresses on the frequency and severity of skin changes that occur during radiation therapy. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: Di-Dak-Sol: dilute bleach compresses White petrolatum ointment

The Effect of RadiaAce Gel in the Prevention and Treatment of Radiation Dermatitis in Breast Cancer...

Breast CancerRadiation Dermatitis

Radiation dermatitis (RD) is one of the most common side effects of Radiation therapy (RT) and 95% of patients receiving RT may experience some form of radiation dermatitis. A wide variety of topical, oral, and intravenous agents are used to prevent/treat Radiation dermatitis but currently there is no gold standard in the prevention and management of this condition and no treatment can be explicitly recommended. RadiaAce Gel is a wound dressing Hydrogel (Acemannan Hydrogel) for the management of RD which provides optimal moist wound environment necessary to the healing process. Based on its composition as well as the supporting data on safety and performance of the functional ingredient Acemannan in wound healing, RadiaAce may well be suited to complement the prevention and therapy of radiation dermatitis. The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and performance of RadiaAce as compare to Biafine in reducing the proportion of breast cancer patients that experience grade 2 or higher RD as measured by the RTOG scoring system

The Use of Photobiomodulation in the Management of Radiodermatitis in Head and Neck Cancer Patients...

Radiodermatitis; AcuteRadiotherapy Side Effect1 more

It is estimated that there will be 670,000 new cases of cancer worldwide in 2020-2022 and it is known that the most commonly instituted treatments in cancer are chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. However, these treatments have undesirable side effects, such as Radiodermatitis after Radiotherapy (RD). In fact, the prevalence of possible side effects after radiotherapy is estimated to be 80 to 90%. Radiotherapy complications are associated with a negative impact on patients' quality of life and few supportive measures are available for such complications. Thus, the management of these side effects has been studied in the literature until the present day. On the other hand, Photobiomodulation (PBM) has an important role in wound repair and tissue regeneration, as it influences the different phases of lesion resolution, including the inflammatory phase, the proliferative phase and the remodeling phase. Thus, the aim of this study is to report a case series of Head and Neck Cancer Patients diagnosed with radiotherapy-induced acute radiodermatitis treated with PBM and/or PDT. This is a case series report and the study data will be extracted from the medical records of four head and neck cancer patients with grade 2 to 4 followed up from 2021 at the Laser Therapy Outpatient Clinic in a Universitarian Hospital. The outcomes are the size of the lesion, the presence of pain assessed by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the RTOG Scale (Radiation Therapy Oncology Group Scale) to assess the degree of Radiodermatitis before and after PBM/PDT therapy. Data with positive or negative results will be reported.

Topical Doxepin for Radiation-induced Dermatitis

Breast Cancer

Radiation dermatitis is one of the most common side effects of radiotherapy approximately occurring in about 95% of patients receiving radiotherapy . Acute injury due to structural tissue damage, generation of free radicals, irreversible double-stranded breaks in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, and initiation of an inflammatory response in the epidermis and dermis occurs within hours to weeks after radiation exposure. Radiation dermatitis due to pain and discomfort has an adverse impact on the quality of a patient's life.The radiation toxicities such as radiation dermatitis encountered in clinical practice are typically managed with a variety of topical agents such as water-based moisturizing creams or lotions, topical steroids, antiinflammatory emulsions, and wound dressings. Pharmacologic interventions for the prevention and treatment of these toxicity can be used to protect skin against radiation damage.Currently, there is no standard treatment for the prevention of radiation-induced dermatitis with demonstrated effectiveness.The aim of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the effectiveness of topical doxepin for the prevention and management of radiation-induced dermatitis during postoperative radiotherapy for breast cancer.
