Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Nutritional supplements containing antioxidants seem to decrease toxicity associated with Radiotherapy (RT) and Chemotherapy (CT) in patients with malignant head and neck tumors. Oncoxin-Viusid® (OV) is a nutritional supplement with antioxidant, immunomodulator and antitumor effects.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objective

To assess the efficacy and safety of OV in patients with head and neck tumors during treatment with radio-chemotherapy.

Materials and Methods

Patients diagnosed with Head and Neck Carcinoma, and indicated to follow a radiotherapy treatment concurrent with Radiosensitizing Chemotherapy, were included in a phase II, randomized, prospective, controlled and double-blind study in two treatment arms: RT + CT + Placebo (n = 30) and RT + CT + OV (n = 30) during one year in a tertiary center (INOR), with the aim of evaluating the reduction of toxicities of RT-CT and improve the quality of life of patients during these oncospecific treatments.
