Details and patient eligibility

About

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.

Full description

Primary endpoint:

• Mean time difference in development of G2 RID (according to CTCA) between Jalosome® and placebo arms. A median difference of at least 7 days is considered of clinical significance.

  • Secondary endpoints:

• Proportion of subjects without G2 RID at the end of RT, in the Jalosome® and placebo arms.

• Proportion of subjects without G2 RID at different timepoints (week 5, week 6 and two weeks after the last radiation) in the Jalosome® and placebo arms.

• Worst skin toxicity during treatment and up to 2 weeks after the last radiation, according to CTCAE, in the Jalosome® and placebo arms.

• RID grade (mean and worst) on the RISRAS scale, assessed weekly, in the Jalosome® and placebo arms.

• Mean and worst score of PRO-Skindex-16 questionnaire performed weekly, in the Jalosome® and placebo arms.

• Mean pain measured by the 11-point NRS of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), as reported in patients' diary (daily) and assessed during visits (weekly), in the Jalosome® and placebo arms.

• Patient's compliance to Jalosome® treatment.

• Patient's global satisfaction with Jalosome® treatment.

• Jalosome® overall safety and tolerability.
