Clinical Trial Summary

The aim is to quantify the efficiency of the Safetac product Mepitel® Film on the prevention of radiodermatitis for cancer patients treated with external beam radiation therapy near the inguinal fold(s). Previous studies have looked into the differences in skin reactions for Mepitel® Film versus hydro-active colloid gel in breast cancer [1, 2] and head and neck cancer [3]. In breast cancer, the prevalence of radiation induced dermatitis has strongly decreased due to of modern radiotherapy techniques and fractionation. In the groin, however, this is not the case, and radiation dermatitis remains an important problem. To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has looked into the efficiency of a prophylactic Mepitel® Film protocol in the inguinal fold. The goal of this study is to evaluate whether the Mepitel® Film offers a lower degree of radiation-induced dermatitis compared to hydro-active colloid gel and thereby challenging the gold standard.

Study Design


Intervention

Device:
Mepitel® film
This study is a comparative study between the standard procedure, which is to prescribe a hydro-active colloidal gel called Flamigel® to be applied to the irradiated area, and the use of Mepitel® Film.
Other:
Flamigel®
The control arm will be treated according to the standard of care.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Prevention of grade 2.5 RTOG radiodermatitis To evaluate and quantify the influence of the MepitelĀ® Film dressing on the prevention of patchy moist desquamation (grade 2.5 RTOG) radiodermatitis in the inguinal fold. Post 25 sessions
Secondary Time to radiodermatitis apparition To analyze the time it takes for the patchy moist desquamation (grade 2.5 RTOG) to appear and to evaluate whether it occurs later in the MepitelĀ® Film group. At the end of treatment
Secondary Healing time To analyze the time that the patchy moist desquamation takes to heal and to evaluate if the MepitelĀ® film group can heal faster. 3 months post treatment
