StrataXRT skin gel to prevent rash during head and neck radiation
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a medicated skin gel (StrataXRT) can better prevent painful skin rash (“acute dermatitis”) in people with head and neck cancer who receive chemotherapy and radiation at the same time. If you’re eligible, you may get the study skin product and help doctors find a safer, more comfortable way to protect the skin during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two ways of giving radiation for head and neck cancer: with a custom face mask or with a new camera-guided system (no mask). The goal is to see which approach works better and is more comfortable for patients.
This trial tests if a special film placed on the skin can reduce radiation side effects in people who have had breast cancer surgery and are now getting radiation therapy.
This trial tests a new type of cream made with tiny particles that mop up harmful molecules to prevent or treat skin damage from radiation. It is for people with head or neck cancer receiving high-dose radiation to see if it can reduce skin redness, pain, and peeling.
This trial studies StrataCTX®, a device used with skin treatment, to help people with CTCL (a type of skin lymphoma) who have hard-to-control itch, steroid dependence, or skin reactions. It may help reduce the need for steroid creams or pills while improving symptoms.
This trial tests a skin spray containing an antioxidant (superoxide dismutase) to see if it can prevent or reduce skin burns caused by radiation therapy. It is for people with head and neck cancer who are about to start radiation, with or without chemotherapy.
This trial tests a special lipid that may protect the skin from radiation damage during treatment for head and neck cancer. If it works, it could help prevent or treat the painful skin irritation that often occurs with radiation therapy.
