Topical Diclofenac for Prevention of Radiation-induced Dermatitis
Topical Diclofenac for Prevention of Radiation-induced Dermatitis: A Single-center, Randomized Controlled Trial
The Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University
156 participants
Feb 13, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Radiation induced dermatitis (RID) is one of the leading adverse events of radiation therapy, and if occurred could alter the course of therapy. The main pathways of RID is inflammation and oxidative stress on local and systemic bases. The Diclofenac is a COX-2 inhibitor and Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs whose anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities have been proven in several clinical trials. Thus, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of Diclofenac sodium gel as a prophylactic method against the development of RID.

- Patients willing and able to give signed informed consent and, in the opinion of the Investigator, to comply with the Clinical Investigation Plan tests and procedures.
Exclusion Criteria6
- Pregnant or lactating women
- A known history of intolerance or allergy to any component of the investigational product;
- severe cardiopulmonary disease (such as unstable angina attacks, grade II cardiac insufficiency, acute myocardial infarction, acute episodes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary heart disease);
- The acute phase is accompanied by inflammatory skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, lichen planus, pityriasis rosea.
- Systemic diseases known to delay the skin healing process, such as diabetes or severe kidney failure;
- Skin rupture caused by malignant tumors.
Interventions
Diclofenac Sodium Gel were applied to the skin of the irradiated site triple a day a day from the date of first radiotherapy until end of radiotherapy or until the test side skin developed ≥grade 3 RID.
The placebo does not contain the active ingredients of Jalosome, only the co-formulants.
