  2. Patients able to understand and sign an informed consent form.
  3. Patients that do not have active connective tissue disorders.
  4. Patients 18 years or older.
  5. Patients that did not receive any previous radiation.
  6. Patients that do not have any known allergy to any ingredients of the NeoVIDERM cream
  7. Patients need to be able to apply the creams themselves or have help with applying the creams.

Inclusion criteria: For patients receiving radiation to the head and neck

  1. Patients receiving radiotherapy on fields that include both sides of the neck
  2. Patients able to understand and sign an informed consent form.
  3. Patients that do not have active connective tissue disorders.

  7. Patients need to be able to apply the creams themselves or have help with applying the creams.

Exclusion criteria: For patients receiving radiation to the breast or the head and neck

  1. Patients that have a type V or type VI skin type according to the Fitzpatrick scale (because these patients will likely have less radiodermatitis and if they do, it will be harder to evaluate it). The Fitzpatrick Scale:
  • Type I (scores 0-7) White; very fair; freckles. Always burns, never tans
  • Type II (scores 8-16) White; fair. Usually burns, tans with difficulty
  • Type III (scores 17-25) Beige; very common. Sometimes mild burn, gradually tans
  • Type IV (scores 25-30) Beige with a brown tint; typical Mediterranean Caucasian skin. Rarely burns, tans with ease
  • Type V (scores over 30) Dark brown. Very rarely burns, tans very easily
  • Type VI Black. Never burns, tans very easily

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Aveeno creamOther

    Twice a day

  • Flamazine creamOther

    Twice a day, when there is dry desquamation

  • NeoVIDERM creamOther

    Three times a day

Study groups in NCT01701466
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm B: standard of care plus NeoVIDERM creamExperimentalPatients will apply NeoVIDERM cream to the treatment area everyday one week before starting radiotherapy, throughout treatment and for two weeks post treatment. Patients will also perform standard of care skin treatment.
Receives: Other: Aveeno cream; Other: Flamazine cream; Other: NeoVIDERM cream
Arm A: standard skin careActive comparatorPatients will be asked to apply Aveeno cream twice a day starting the day of their treatment until two weeks after the end of their treatments. If they develop dry desquamation, they will be asked to apply Flamazine twice a day until dermatitis resolves.
Receives: Other: Aveeno cream; Other: Flamazine cream

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum skin toxicity

    The objective of this study is to determine the occurrence and degree of acute skin toxicity in patients receiving radical radiation therapy with preventive application of neoVIDERM compared to patients treated with institutional standard skin care.

    Measured: 7 weeks post beginning of radiation treatments

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Aveeno cream, Flamazine cream and NeoVIDERM cream in people with Head and Neck Cancer and Breast Cancer, run by Sir Mortimer B. Davis - Jewish General Hospital at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum skin toxicity (time frame: 7 weeks post beginning of radiation treatments). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 May 2015.
