Mepitel Film for skin protection during breast radiation
Part of Cancer, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 21 years old or older.
- You must have had breast cancer surgery (mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery).
- Your cancer must be confirmed as breast carcinoma (invasive or in situ).

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.
This trial looks at how people feel (patient-reported outcomes) and how safe treatment is when radiotherapy is given after a mastectomy with a DIEP belly skin-flap reconstruction. It may help doctors understand which experiences to expect and how to improve care.
This study tests whether light therapy can reduce skin irritation (radiodermatitis) caused by radiation treatment for breast cancer. If you are about to start radiation for breast cancer, this might help you have fewer skin side effects.
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 proton therapy affects the skin in people being treated for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to understand skin reactions better so doctors can reduce side effects.
This trial tests whether a spa therapy program can improve “fibrosis,” or stiffened/scarred tissue and related skin problems, after radiotherapy for breast cancer or upper head/neck cancers. It aims to see if treatment can improve quality of life for people who still have moderate-to-worse symptoms months after radiation.
