Active clinical trials for "Radiodermatitis"

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ST266 in treating radiation burns of the skin in patients undergoing treatments for breast cancer and to compare ST266 treated burns with those treated with saline placebo controls.

Primary Objective: To determine if RadiaPlexRx Hydrogel can reduce the development of grade 2 or higher radiation dermatitis in breast cancer from adjuvant radiation when compared to a petroleum-based gel (Aquaphor) commonly used as best supportive care.

Preventive Effect of Boron-based Gel on Radiation Dermatitis

A randomized controlled trial comparing Urtica comp. gel (Swissmedic listed medication in the category of "Anthroposophic Medication without Indication") against standard skin care, examining its effect in prevention and treatment of radiation dermatitis in breast cancer patients under Radiation therapy.

Current clinical practice for preventing and treating radiation dermatitis across Queensland (QLD) Health Radiation Oncology departments involves the application of aqueous cream daily to the skin of the treatment site, commencing from Day 1 of EBRT. The primary aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of StrataXRT when compared to current clinical practice in preventing and managing radiation dermatitis.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Alkagin paste is effective at preventing radiodermatitis in patients receiving external beam radiation therapy to the perineal area.

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a form of phototherapy which involves the application of light to injuries and lesions to promote tissue regeneration. It is a noninvasive treatment modality based on the photochemical effect of light on tissues, which modulates various metabolic processes. LLLT has been used for a wide range of conditions, in particular in dermatology, to promote wound healing, reduce inflammation and oedema, and relieve pain. In this study, we intend to assess the efficacy of LLLT to manage radiotherapy-induced skin reactions (or radiation dermatitis), a very common and distressing side effect of cancer treatment.

This is a post marketing, interventional, randomized, single-center, prospective, controlled study, for the evaluation of the clinical performance and tolerability of a cream-based medical device (DermoRelizemaTM cream) in the management care of radiodermatitis in women with breast cancer. Assessments and evaluations will be performed by a physician in a blind fashion. The primary objective is Evaluation of the effects of DermoRelizemaTM cream in the management of the progression of RT-induced skin reactions and toxicity, using the grading system of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group / European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (RTOG/ EORTC), at the conclusion of the treatment period

Ionizing radiation is a toxic agent and widely accepted form of treatment for various types of cancer. Despite advances in medical technology, radiation therapy still causes severe early and late skin effects. Radiation-induced dermatitis occurs in approximately 80% of patients. Important consequences of radiation-induced dermatitis include impairment of the quality of a patient's life due to pain and premature interruption of radiation treatment, which in turn, may be impair good local control of disease. The biological pathways responsible for acute radiation-induced dermatitis remain unclear. 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 pilot study is to assess the effectiveness of curcumin for the prevention of acute radiation-induced dermatitis during postoperative radiotherapy for breast cancer. We hypothesize that curcumin, a natural phenolic compound found in both turmeric and curry powders, can prevent or alleviate radiation-induced skin reactions in breast cancer patients receiving radiotherapy.

The primary objectives of the proposed research are to evaluate patient use of KeraStat Cream and collect data to inform a larger future trial.
