NCT ID NCT06837831
First seen Apr 22, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special foam dressing (Mepilex Lite) placed inside the anal canal, along with a pain-relief suppository (indomethacin), can better treat painful skin damage caused by radiation therapy for rectal cancer. About 274 adults who develop at least moderate skin irritation from radiation will be split into two groups: one gets the suppository plus standard care, the other gets the suppository plus the dressing. The main goal is to see if the dressing improves healing and reduces pain after two weeks of treatment.
