About this study
There is no standard treatment for radiation dermatitis. In this study, the investigators have designed novel ROS-scavenging nanoenzymes and aim to evaluate their effectiveness in preventing radiation dermatitis in patients with head and neck cancer.
Read the detailed description
Radiotherapy often leads to various complications, with radiation dermatitis being the most common side effect observed in the majority of tumor patients undergoing treatment. This condition not only affects a patient's appearance but, in severe cases, may even require the interruption of treatment.
Currently, there is no standard treatment for radiation dermatitis. In this study, the investigators have designed novel ROS-scavenging nanoenzymes, offering a potential new approach for preventing and treating radiation dermatitis.
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these novel ROS-scavenging nanoenzymes in preventing radiation dermatitis in patients with head and neck cancer.

What does the primary outcome measure?
The incidence of grade 2 or higher radiation dermatitis (time frame: From the start of radiotherapy to 2 weeks after completion of radiotherapy.). 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?
