Akkermansia Muciniphila for Radiation-Induced Skin Injury
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a beneficial bacteria called Akkermansia Muciniphila can reduce skin damage and inflammation caused by radiation therapy in patients with breast cancer or head and neck cancer. The study involves applying or taking this bacteria-based treatment during and after your radiation therapy to see if it helps your skin heal better.
