Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - StrataXRT
Other interventions - Sorbolene

Experimental: StrataXRT - Patients allocated to receive StrataXRT will be provided with StrataXRT gel to apply twice daily to the irradiated area until any radiation dermatitis that may occur has resolved. In case the patient develops radiation dermatitis that results in moist desquamation, IntraSiteTM gel (Smith and Nephew, UK) and secondary dressings will be provided.

Active comparator: Standard of care - Patients allocated to receive standard care will be provided with aqueous cream to apply daily to the irradiated area until any radiation dermatitis that may occur has resolved. In case the patient develops radiation dermatitis that results in moist desquamation, IntraSiteTM gel (Smith and Nephew, UK) and secondary dressings will be provided.


Treatment: Devices: StrataXRT
StrataXRT is a flexible wound dressing for the prevention and treatment of radiation dermatitis. It is in the form of a gel which, when applied, creates a protective film that maintains skin integrity. The product is used to relieve low grade inflammatory radiation changes such as dry, itching, flaking, peeling and irritated skin. For more severe inflammatory changes with open wound components, StrataXRT reduces pain, redness and heat and helps soothe the exposed skin areas. StrataXRT can be applied where skin integrity has been compromised and may also be used in conjunction with other adjunctive treatments to improve overall results. StrataXRT contains Polydimethylsiloxanes, Siloxanes and Alkylmethyl Silicones and is transparent and odourless. It does not contain alcohols, parabens or fragrances. StrataXRT can be used with or without a secondary protective dressing. It is suitable for children and people with sensitive skin.

Other interventions: Sorbolene
Aqueous cream (moisturizer) that soothes itchiness and dryness of the skin, and aids skin hydration. It is non-greasy, fragrance free, colour free, GMO free, paraben free and pH balanced.
