Study summary

Radiotherapy may cause severe skin changes that significantly interfere with the patient's quality of life and may reduce radiotherapy effectiveness. Many skin care instructions and various topical agents are recommended to help patients in the management of radiation skin reactions, but evidence to support the value of the topical treatments of the irradiated skin is lacking. In the present study we investigated the effects of two topical agents used as supportive care to protect skin during radiotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Women with breast cancer and were to receive breast radiotherapy to 50 Gy were enrolled in a prospective randomized trial to compare the effectiveness of Evoskin®) for protecting skin compared to Trixiera. To account for individual differences in radiation each subject served as her own control, as each was to apply the experimental and control agents to the irradiated breast. Each patient was randomly assigned to use Evoskin on the half of the irradiated breast and to use the Triexiera on the other half. Dermatitis was graded weekly by means of a spectrophotometer.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 14, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
