Brief Summary

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

Radiation dermatitis (RD) is one of the most common side effects of Radiation therapy (RT) and 95% of patients receiving RT may experience some form of radiation dermatitis.

A wide variety of topical, oral, and intravenous agents are used to prevent/treat Radiation dermatitis but currently there is no gold standard in the prevention and management of this condition and no treatment can be explicitly recommended.

RadiaAce Gel is a wound dressing Hydrogel (Acemannan Hydrogel) for the management of RD which provides optimal moist wound environment necessary to the healing process.

Based on its composition as well as the supporting data on safety and performance of the functional ingredient Acemannan in wound healing, RadiaAce may well be suited to complement the prevention and therapy of radiation dermatitis.

The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and performance of RadiaAce as compare to Biafine in reducing the proportion of breast cancer patients that experience grade 2 or higher RD as measured by the RTOG scoring system

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

RadiaAce gel

RadiaAce Gel is a clear, non-oily Hydrogel wound dressing for the management of Radiation Dermatitis which provides optimal moist wound environment necessary to the healing process. RadiaAce gel contains Acemannan, a high molecular polysaccharide obtained from the inner gel of Aloe Vera leaves and it is considered the main functional component of Aloe vera (Sahu et al. 2013).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

RadiaAce gel

Intervention Type DEVICE

Patients will apply the RadiaAce to the treatment area starting 5 days before radiation treatment. The Hydrogel/cream will be applied three times a day with a minimum of four hours between applications. Treatments will be used through the course of RT and for 6 days after the last fraction of radiation.

Biafine

one of the standard skin care in radiation oncology, this treatment was chosen as the comparator.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Biafine

Intervention Type DEVICE

Patients will apply the Biafine to the treatment area starting 5 days before radiation treatment. The Hydrogel/cream will be applied three times a day with a minimum of four hours between applications. Treatments will be used through the course of RT and for 6 days after the last fraction of radiation.
