Investigate the effects of StrataXRT® versus 10% Glycerine (Sorbolene cream) for preventing and managing radiation dermatitis in patients with head and neck cancer receiving radical radiotherapy (≥50 Gy) with or without chemotherapy or biotherapy.
A single-blind, randomised controlled, superiority trial was conducted. Patients either received StrataXRT® or Sorbolene (usual care). Skin toxicity, pain, itching and skin-related quality of life scores were collected from baseline, and up to four weeks post-treatment.
A total of 197 patients were randomised into the study. Skin toxicity was dependent on the treatment group with StrataXRT® patients experiencing lower mean skin toxicity at the end of the radiation treatment (P = 0.002). At the end of treatment, the StrataXRT® arm had a lower percentage of grade 2 (80%) and grade 3 (28%) skin toxicity compared to the sorbolene arm (91% and 45% respectively). After adjustment for Cetuximab, the StrataXRT® arm had a 12% lower risk of experiencing grade 2 skin toxicity (RRR = 0.876, 95% CI: 0.778-0.987, P = 0.031); and a 36% lower risk of experiencing grade 3 skin toxicity (RRR = 0.648, 95% CI: 0.442-0.947, P = 0.025). Cox regression analysis showed that patients receiving StrataXRT® had a 41.0% and 49.4% reduced risks of developing grade 2 and 3 skin toxicity respectively throughout treatment compared to the Sorbolene arm. There were no differences between groups in patient-reported outcomes. No treatment interruptions and study product related adverse events were reported in either arm.
StrataXRT® is effective for preventing, and delaying the development of grade 2 and 3 skin toxicity.

研究 StrataXRT® 与 10%甘油(Sorbolene 乳膏)预防和治疗头颈部接受根治性放疗(≥50Gy)联合或不联合化疗或生物治疗的癌症患者放射性皮炎的效果。
采用单盲、随机对照、优效性试验。患者分别接受 StrataXRT®或 Sorbolene(常规护理)治疗。从基线和治疗后 4 周收集皮肤毒性、疼痛、瘙痒和皮肤相关生活质量评分。
共 197 例患者被随机分配到研究中。皮肤毒性与治疗组有关,StrataXRT®组在放疗结束时皮肤毒性的平均评分较低(P=0.002)。治疗结束时,StrataXRT®组 2 级(80%)和 3 级(28%)皮肤毒性的比例低于 Sorbolene 组(分别为 91%和 45%)。调整 Cetuximab 后,StrataXRT®组发生 2 级皮肤毒性的风险降低了 12%(RRR=0.876,95%CI:0.778-0.987,P=0.031);发生 3 级皮肤毒性的风险降低了 36%(RRR=0.648,95%CI:0.442-0.947,P=0.025)。Cox 回归分析显示,与 Sorbolene 组相比,接受 StrataXRT®治疗的患者在整个治疗过程中发生 2 级和 3 级皮肤毒性的风险分别降低了 41.0%和 49.4%。两组患者报告的结局无差异。两组均未报告治疗中断和与研究产品相关的不良事件。
StrataXRT®可有效预防和延迟 2 级和 3 级皮肤毒性的发生。
