Common drugs tested to stop painful side effects of cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT06494111
Summary
This study is testing if two common medications—pentoxifylline with vitamin E or pravastatin—can prevent or reduce painful swelling and scarring (lymphedema and fibrosis) that often occurs after radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. The trial will enroll about 295 adults who are scheduled to receive radiation therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of the drug regimens or standard care to see which approach works best at preventing these long-term side effects.
