NCT ID: NCT03374995 Completed - Breast Carcinoma Clinical Trials

Topical Keratin in Treating Radiation Dermatitis in Patients With Breast Cancer

Start date: March 26, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies how well topical keratin works in treating radiation dermatitis in patients with breast cancer. Radiation dermatitis is a skin condition that is a common side effect of radiation therapy. The affected skin becomes painful, red, itchy, and blistered. Topical keratin may help to improve skin appearance and hydration in patients with breast cancer.

NCT ID: NCT02556632 Completed - Pain Clinical Trials

Prophylactic Topical Agents in Reducing Radiation-Induced Dermatitis in Patients With Non-inflammatory Breast Cancer

Curcumin-II
Start date: October 13, 2015
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This randomized pilot phase II trial studies and compares prophylactic topical agents in reducing radiation-induced dermatitis in patients with non-inflammatory breast cancer or breast cancer in situ. The prophylactic topical agents, such as curcumin-based gel or HPR Plus, may reduce the severity of the radiation-induced dermatitis by minimizing water loss and inflammation during radiation therapy.

NCT ID: NCT02369835 Completed - Clinical trials for Head and Neck Carcinoma

Modified Dakin's Solution in Reducing Radiation-Induced Dermatitis in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer Undergoing Radiation Therapy

Start date: May 2015
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This randomized phase 3 trial studies how well modified Dakin's solution works in reducing radiation-induced dermatitis, a common skin reaction to radiation therapy, in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Modified Dakin's solution may reduce inflammation in the body, which may prevent or reduce dermatitis after radiation therapy. Radiation therapy in this study is regulatory medical care based on the patient's needs and the radiation oncologist's judgment. It is not possible nor necessary to explicitly define the dose or duration of treatment.

NCT ID: NCT01714973 Completed - Clinical trials for Radiation-induced Dermatitis

Study of ST266 Versus Saline in Treating Skin Irritation From Radiation

Start date: October 2012
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT01513278 Completed - Clinical trials for Radiation Induced Dermatitis

Study of APN201 (Liposomal Recombinant Human Cu/Zn-Superoxide Dismutase) for the Prevention of Radiation-induced Dermatitis in Women With Breast Cancer

Start date: January 2012
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The standard treatment for early-stage breast cancer is breast-conserving surgery followed by adjuvant radiation therapy to the whole breast. This approach leads to low recurrence rates with a good cosmesis and provides an effective alternative to mastectomy. However, in most women receiving radiotherapy radiation dermatitis occur to some degree. Radiation dermatitis generally manifests within a few weeks after the start of radiation therapy. Its onset varies depending on the radiation dose intensity and the normal tissue sensitivity of individuals. As the cumulative dose of radiation increases the transient erythema occurring during the first weeks of radiotherapy may evolve into the more persistent erythema and to dry or even moist desquamation that reflects the damage to the basal cell layer and the sweat and sebaceous glands. There is currently no evidence that prophylactic treatments, beyond keeping the irradiated area clean and dry, are effective in reducing the incidence or severity of radiation dermatitis (Bolderston et al. 2006). However, together with other enzymes of the peroxidase pathway, SOD scavenges the superoxide, hydroxyl, and other oxygenated free radicals (Klug et al. 1972; Tainer at al. 1983). In physiological conditions, the production of free radicals (Monte & Sacerdote 1994) and the action of antiradicals' enzymes is balanced. Following tissue injuries, either pathological or caused by agents such as radiation therapy, an excess production of free radicals is observed (Petkau 1986; Lorette & Machet 2001). Furthermore, basal SOD is increased in breast cancer patients before radiation therapy as compared to controls (Seth et al. 2003), and decreases after radiotherapy (Ray at al. 2000). Hence, liposomal rhSOD applied during radiotherapy could be used to prevent the effects of free radicals and thus might protect the patient's skin from radiation-induced skin reactions. TREATMENT PLAN All patients receive APN201 and placebo at the same time. The irradiated region is divided vertically into two symmetric areas (left and right). One area is treated with APN201, the other area is treated with placebo in a double-blind fashion. Study treatment (APN201 and placebo) starts on the day of initiation of radiation therapy and continues until the end of radiation therapy to the whole breast (25 or 28 daily fractions to a total dose of 50.0 Gy or 50.4 Gy, respectively) (see schedule of assessments, section 5.1). Study treatment is stopped if radiation dermatitis of ≥ grade 2 occurs in one or both treated areas for ≥ 3 days AND a difference in the severity of radiation dermatitis of ≥ 1 grade is seen between the two treated areas. From that point in time the patient only receives the treatment that appeared to be beneficial and this treatment is applied to the whole irradiated region until completion of the 25th, respectively 28th, fraction. Treatment stops earlier in case of progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity or intolerability.

NCT ID: NCT01246973 Completed - Clinical trials for Radiation-induced Dermatitis

Oral Curcumin for Radiation Dermatitis

Start date: February 2011
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to determine whether curcumin, an ingredient of some foods, can prevent or reduce the severity of skin reactions (dermatitis) caused by radiation therapy. Dermatitis is a common side effect of radiation treatment, but few effective treatments have been developed for it. Curcumin is a natural compound found in both turmeric and curry powder. It has been used for centuries as a spice (curry), a food coloring and as a food preservative. Curcumin is non-toxic and has been found to enhance the functions of normal tissues..
