Trial Outcomes & Findings for HylaCare in the Treatment of Acute Skin Changes in Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer (NCT NCT02165605)

NCT ID: NCT02165605

Last Updated: 2020-10-22

Results Overview

NCI-CTC (National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria) version 4.0 was used to assessed acute skin toxicity grade by physician. Toxicity grade range from Grade 0 to Grade 5, with higher grade indicating worst skin toxicity.

Measure
HA Serum Vs. Control Cream (Placebo)
Each patient will be randomized blindly as to whether the study serum will be applied to the medial or lateral portion of the treated breast, using the nipple as the dividing line. The product and placebo will also be applied to the other breast in the same fashion, as a further control. The study drug and placebo will be applied three times daily, but not within 4 hours prior to radiation treatment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 5 during radiation therapy

Population: All 28 patients were assigned to both arms HA formulation (Hylacare study cream) on the medial or lateral half of the irradiated breast and the control cream (placebo) on the other half. Each patient will use both HA study cream and placebo cream on breast receiving radiation treatment.

NCI-CTC (National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria) version 4.0 was used to assessed acute skin toxicity grade by physician. Toxicity grade range from Grade 0 to Grade 5, with higher grade indicating worst skin toxicity.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 5 during radiation therapy

Investigator Grading Scale is used to assessed acute skin toxicity. Score range from grade 0 to 6 with 0 = normal skin 1. = light epidermal irritation, consisting of the onset of erythema, possibly associated with slight edema 2. = erythema with dry desquamation 3. = wet desquamation \</= 2 cm 4. = wet desquamation from 2.1 - 5cm 5. = wet desquamation from 5.1 - 9 cm 6. = wet desquamation \> 9.1 cm
