Modified Dakin's Solution in Reducing Radiation-Induced Dermatitis in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer Undergoing Radiation Therapy

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT02369835

Age - 18 Years-N/A Condition - Head and Neck Cancers (H&N), H and N - Oral Cancer, H and N - Throat Cancer (Oropharynx, Laryngeal, Hypopharyngeal) Gender - All Accepting Healthy Volunteers - No

Purpose

This randomized phase 3 trial studies how well modified Dakin's solution works in reducing radiation-induced dermatitis, a common skin reaction to radiation therapy, in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Modified Dakin's solution may reduce inflammation in the body, which may prevent or reduce dermatitis after radiation therapy. Radiation therapy in this study is regulatory medical care based on the patient's needs and the radiation oncologist's judgment. It is not possible nor necessary to explicitly define the dose or duration of treatment.
