Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of StrataXRT® in comparison to standard of care (defined using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE], version 5.0) by assessing the severity of inguinal RD in patients receiving elective radiation therapy +/- systemic therapy to the bilateral inguinal nodes.

Conditions

Radiation Dermatitis

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: PREVENTION
• Blinding Strategy: SINGLE

Study Groups

StrataXRT

Studied products will be applied as per the patient information leaflet following manufacturer guidelines to the treatment area. The studied products will be used starting on the first day of radiation therapy. The studied products will be applied twice a day to both the right and left inguinal regions. The studied products will be used daily during the entire course of radiotherapy including on weekends and holidays until at least 4 weeks upon completion of radiation therapy or otherwise until resolution of RD on both sides.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

StrataXRT

Intervention Type: DEVICE

StrataXRT is a full contact flexible wound dressing for the prevention and treatment of radiation dermatitis. StrataXRT is a semi-occlusive, self-drying and transparent gel.

When used as directed StrataXRT dries to form a protective layer that is gas permeable and waterproof which hydrates and protects compromised skin areas and superficial wounds from chemical and microbial invasion. StrataXRT may be directly applied to radiation dermatitis, compromised skin surfaces, superficial wounds and first and second degree burns.

Aquaphor

Studied products will be applied as per the patient information leaflet following manufacturer guidelines to the treatment area. The studied products will be used starting on the first day of radiation therapy. The studied products will be applied twice a day to the entire treatment field. The studied products will be used during the entire course of radiotherapy and for a further 4 weeks upon completion of radiation therapy.

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Aquaphor

Intervention Type: DRUG
