NCT05284487

Brief Summary

Primary objective \- To investigate the effectiveness of Jalosome® compared with placebo in the prevention and treatment of RID in patients with HNC undergoing RT. Secondary objectives:

  • To investigate the effectiveness of Jalosome® in reducing the maximum severity of RID compared with placebo.
  • To investigate the effect of Jalosome®, compared with placebo, on patients' quality of life.
  • To investigate safety and tolerability of Jalosome®.
  • To investigate patient's compliance to Jalosome® treatment.
  • To investigate patient's global satisfaction with Jalosome® treatment.

Study Arms (2)

Group 1: Jalosome® Soothing gel

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Jalosome® soothing gel ((L-Acetyl Carnitine chloridrate, Allantoin, Hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine, Sodium Hyaluronate) will be applied to the irradiated area two times daily (morning after RT and evening). The first application will start in the morning after the first RT session and will continue up to two weeks after completion of RT. Visit 1: Screening (days -7 to 0) Visit 2: Randomization and start of RT (day 1) Visit 3 -Visit 9/10: RT treatment Last visit: 2 weeks after last RT

Device: Jalosome® soothing gel

Group 2: Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Placebo will be applied to the irradiated area two times daily (morning after RT and evening). The first application will start in the morning after the first RT session and will continue up to two weeks after completion of RT. Visit 1: Screening (days -7 to 0) Visit 2: Randomization and start of RT (day 1) Visit 3 -Visit 9/10: RT treatment Last visit: 2 weeks after last RT

Device: Placebo

Interventions

Jalosome® Soothing gel is a phospholipid based vesicular system based on hyaluronic acid (HA). HA supports the process of formation of extracellular matrix and collagen synthesis by fibroblasts, favoring the formation of a well-vascularized granulation tissue and thus accelerating the healing process. Jalosome® Soothing gel contains other active ingredients: Acetyl-L-carnitine which plays an important role as shuttle for energy production and is involved in cellular metabolism. It is an effective cytoprotective, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, metal chelator, anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidant agent. Allantoin is a key constituent of comfrey (Symphytum officinale L), it has moisturizing and keratolytic effect, increasing the water content of the extracellular matrix and enhancing desquamation of upper layers of dead skin cells. Hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine is a permeation enhancers, which increases the solubilization of active ingredients, improving their skin permeation ability.

Group 1: Jalosome® Soothing gel
PlaceboDEVICE

The placebo does not contain the active ingredients of Jalosome, only the co-formulants.

Group 2: Placebo
