NCT ID NCT07559877
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a chlorhexidine spray can prevent severe skin reactions caused by radiation therapy in people with nasopharyngeal cancer. About 148 participants will use the spray or a placebo during their treatment. The goal is to see if the spray reduces the chance of painful, moist skin peeling.
