To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral thalidomide for the prevention of radiation-induced dermatitis (RID) in breast-conserving surgery patients receiving intensity-modulated whole-breast radiotherapy. This is a single-center randomized controlled trial. Female breast cancer patients aged >18 and \<70 years after breast-conserving surgery scheduled for whole-breast intensity-modulated radiotherapy will be enrolled. Subjects will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to the intervention group (thalidomide 75 mg orally every bedtime plus standard skin care) or the control group (standard skin care alone). The observation window is defined as from the start of first radiotherapy to 42 days after completion of last radiotherapy. RID will be assessed weekly according to CTCAE v5.0, and the maximum grade within the observation window will be recorded for each subject. The primary endpoint is the incidence of grade ≥2 RID within the observation window. Secondary endpoints include incidence of grade ≥3 RID, time-to-first-onset of grade ≥2 RID, RID-related symptoms (burning, pruritus, pulling pain, tenderness), quality-of-life measured by EORTC QLQ-C30 / QLQ-BR23. Treatment-emergent adverse events will be documented using CTCAE v5.0, with special attention to thalidomide-related toxicities such as somnolence, peripheral sensory neuropathy and thromboembolism. A total of 68 participants are planned for enrolment.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.
It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Patients receive oral thalidomide together with standard supportive care concurrently with breast cancer radiotherapy for the prevention of radiation dermatitis.
Drug: Thalidomide tablets · Other: Standard supportive care
Patients receive only standard supportive care during breast cancer radiotherapy, without thalidomide.
Other: Standard supportive care
Patients receive thalidomide 75 mg orally once every night at bedtime, starting from the first fraction of radiotherapy until completion of the last fraction of radiotherapy.
All patients receive uniform standard skin care education and guidance for radiation field skin: wear loose fitting 100% cotton tops; avoid direct sunlight exposure to irradiated skin; keep irradiated skin dry, clean and well ventilated; avoid friction and scratching.

Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Jun 2028, 19 months later.
Of 39 interventional studies with no phase under Radiodermatitis, half reached primary completion within 17 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 54. This study's planned 19 months is above that.
How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.
