Study Summary

This trial will compare the two agents to see which is more effective in treating radiation dermatitis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with breast cancer who've had surgery and are now getting standard radiation therapy. It's not for those with inflammatory breast cancer, skin involvement, plans to use other topical products during the study, or a history of diseases that make them extra sensitive to radiation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial compares Aquaphor (a petrolatum-based ointment) and Miaderm (a water-based cream with calendula, hyaluronate, and aloe vera) in treating acute radiation dermatitis in patients undergoing radiation therapy after breast cancer surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include skin reactions like itching or swelling where the creams are applied. Since these are topical agents, systemic side effects are unlikely but could include allergic reactions to ingredients.
