Reversing External-beam Radiotherapy-associated Fibrosis Syndrome: an Interventional Bayesian Adaptive Randomized-controlled Orphan Drug Platform Trial for Orodental Sequelae (Reverse-fibrose)


Sponsor

M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Enrollment

250 participants

Start Date

Aug 8, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

To find out if adding medication can help treat or prevent lymphedema and/or fibrosis related to radiation therapy, in survivors of head and neck cancer. Researchers will compare these drugs to find the most effective therapy for preventing or limiting these side effects.
