Trial Outcomes & Findings for Topical Keratin in Treating Radiation Dermatitis in Patients With Breast Cancer (NCT NCT03374995)

NCT ID: NCT03374995

Last Updated: 2024-06-11

Results Overview

The Modified ONS Criteria for Radiation-Induced Acute Skin Toxicity will be used for classification of EASRs related to the skin. Participants will report in a total of 7 visits any experience with Grade I (faint or dull erythema; dry desquamation or Grade II (tender or bright erythema, patchy, moist desquamation) acute radiation dermatitis using the RTOG (Radiation Therapy Oncology Group) grading system with Grade II considered the worse outcome. Comparative effectiveness will include the number or study participants in each arm that experience RTOG Grade I or Grade II radiation dermatitis and moist desquamation.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to up to 7 weeks

A 10-item assessment completed at each visit (7 total) to measure participant's Dermatology Life Quality Index. Score range is 0-3 (very much = 3; a lot = 2; a little = 1; and not at all or not relevant = 0) Maximum score of 30. The higher the score the more qualify of life is impaired. The average DQLI score at each study visit will be compared between the KeraStat® Cream arm and the SOC arm as a study effectiveness measure.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to up to 7 weeks

Skin appearance was assessed by the treating physician at each visit (total of 7) using the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) Toxicity scale Grade 1 and Grade 2 assessed only. Score = (Grade 1 (follicular, faint or dull erythema, dry desquamation and Grade 2 (tender or bright erythema, patchy, ,moist desquamation) with Grade 2 being the worst for this study. Scores range from 0 to 2, with higher values being the worst. The average RTOG score at each study visit will be compared between the KeraStat® Cream arm and the SOC arm as a study effectiveness measure.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to up to 7 weeks

Change in skin appearance by the participants' self-report using the Dermatology Quality of Life Index (DLQI) was used to assess skin after completion of radiation. Score range is 0-3 (very much = 3; a lot = 2; a little = 1; and not at all or not relevant = 0) Maximum score of 30. A higher score shows better performance/improvement in skin appearance. The average Dermatology Qualify of Life Index score each study visit will be compared between the two arms with the number of participants reporting a score.
