About this study

Official title: Safety of Treatment With KeraStat Skin Therapy in Breast Cancer Patients Developing Radiation Dermatitis

This pilot clinical trial studies KeraStat Skin Therapy in treating radiation dermatitis in patients with newly diagnosed stage 0-IIIA breast cancer. Radiation dermatitis is an itchy, painful skin rash that can occur following treatment with radiation. KeraStat Skin Therapy may be a better treatment for radiation dermatitis.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To obtain a preliminary estimate the incidence of early adverse skin reaction (EASR) during radiation therapy (RT) and up to two months post RT after the application of the cosmetic cream KeraStat Skin Therapy during RT in breast cancer patients in a pilot study.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To associate personal characteristics (e.g., race/ethnicity, age, hormone therapy, smoking status, comorbidities, breast size) and treatment characteristics (e.g., RT dose) to incidence of EASR at any time point.

OUTLINE:

Patients apply KeraStat Skin Therapy topically twice daily (BID) during radiation therapy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 and 2 months.

Being tested
dermatologic complications management/prevention, questionnaire administration
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Intraductal, Noninfiltrating, Breast Neoplasms

Receives: Procedure: dermatologic complications management/prevention; Other: questionnaire administration

What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence of any RT-induced EASR defined as a grade 4 or higher toxicity using the Modified Oncology Nursing Society Criteria for Radiation-Induced Acute Skin Toxicity

    At each time point the proportion of women who have RT-induced EASR present will be estimated and a 95% confidence interval will be calculated around this estimate.

    Measured: Up to 2 months after completion of radiation therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing dermatologic complications management/prevention and questionnaire administration in people with Ductal Breast Carcinoma in Situ and Skin Reactions Secondary to Radiation Therapy, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jul 2018. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Occurrence of any RT-induced EASR defined as a grade 4 or higher toxicity using the Modified Oncology Nursing Society Criteria for Radiation-Induced Acute Skin Toxicity (time frame: Up to 2 months after completion of radiation therapy). 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 5 Jul 2018.
