Trial summary

This clinical trial studies the effect of StrataXRT in preventing and treating radiation dermatitis in breast cancer or head and neck cancer patients. Radiotherapy is often associated with multiple side effects. These side effects can cause patient injury and make it difficult to complete treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Intra-Patient Controlled Study of StrataXRT ® Versus Current Practice to Prevent and Treat Radiation Dermatitis

This clinical trial studies the effect of StrataXRT in preventing and treating radiation dermatitis in breast cancer or head and neck cancer patients. Radiotherapy is often associated with multiple side effects. These side effects can cause patient injury and make it difficult to complete treatment. For example, radiation dermatitis or skin damage may result in severe skin peeling and skin irritation. Depending on the location of radiation, the skin damage can cause problems and be tough to heal. This trial aims to see whether StrataXRT may help to prevent dermatitis after radiation therapy.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. Compare efficacy of silicone-based film forming topical gel (StrataXRT) versus (vs.) standard of care skin maintenance.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate overall effectiveness of StrataXRT. II. Evaluate post-radiation therapy (RT) recovery time for StrataXRT compared to standard of care.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess patient reported outcomes. II. Evaluate cost of StrataXRT for management of radiation dermatitis compared to standard of care skin maintenance.

III. Evaluate the reduction in RT interruption/extension of overall duration of receiving RT based on the reduced skin toxicity.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients apply StrataXRT topically to the affected area once or twice daily starting from the first dose of radiation therapy until dermatitis has returned to grade =< 1.

ARM II: Patients receive standard of care including calendula and/or petrolatum-mineral oil-lanolin-ceresin ointment (Aquaphor) applied 2-6 times daily plus hydrogel or silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene) or topical corticosteroids applied twice daily starting from the first dose of radiation therapy until dermatitis has returned to grade =< 1.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 6 days and 3 weeks post-RT.

Being tested
Calendula Ointment, Petrolatum-Mineral Oil-Lanolin-Ceresin Ointment, Polyethylene Glycol Hydrogel, Silicone-based Film Forming Topical Gel, Silver Sulfadiazine

What is being measured

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

  1. Radiation dermatitis

    Will be assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE).

    Measured: Day 0 post-radiation therapy (RT)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Grade 2+ radiation dermatitis

    Will be assessed by CTCAE version 5.0.

    Measured: Day 0 post-RT

  2. Grade 2+ radiation dermatitis

    Will be assessed by CTCAE version 5.0.

    Measured: Day 6 +/- 1 post-RT

  3. Weekly Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) scores

    Will continue to assess CTCAE score for radiation dermatitis until resolution of symptoms.

    Measured: Up to week 3 post-RT

  4. Time to peak Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) score

    Measured: Up to week 3 post-RT

  5. Post-RT recovery time (to grade =< 1 radiation dermatitis

    Will be defined by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE).

    Measured: Up until entire irradiated treatment site healed (grade =< 1 dermatitis)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Calendula Ointment, Petrolatum-Mineral Oil-Lanolin-Ceresin Ointment and Polyethylene Glycol Hydrogel in people with Breast Carcinoma and Head and Neck Carcinoma, run by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute 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 4 inclusion and 13 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 6 May 2024. 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?

Radiation dermatitis (time frame: Day 0 post-radiation therapy (RT)). 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 6 May 2024.
