A cream to prevent skin irritation from radiation for breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a special cream that may prevent skin irritation (radiation dermatitis) caused by radiation therapy for breast cancer. The cream is made from natural weak acids and aims to protect the skin by keeping the skin's microbiome healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 69 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer and have had a mastectomy (breast removal) with or without breast reconstruction.
- Your cancer stage is T1-3N1-3M0 or T3-4N0M0 (meaning it has spread to some lymph nodes but not to distant organs).
- You are about to start radiation therapy and are generally healthy enough to tolerate it.
- You agree to not use any other skincare products on the treated area during the study.
- You have never had radiation therapy before and do not have severe health conditions like heart disease, low immunity, or other cancers.

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 tests if a diclofenac cream can help prevent skin redness, peeling, or pain caused by radiation therapy. It is for people with certain head and neck cancers or breast cancer who are starting radiation treatment.
This study looks at how changes in the skin’s normal bacteria (microbiome) relate to getting redness, irritation, or rash after breast radiation. It may help doctors predict who is more likely to have skin side effects after reconstruction and radiation.
This study tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help prevent or reduce skin irritation caused by radiation therapy for breast cancer. It's for people who are about to start radiation after surgery.
This trial tests a special cream that reduces skin irritation from radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. It combines the cream with mild heat to help prevent or treat radiation burns.
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.
