Could a simple cream shield cancer patients from radiation burns?
NCT ID NCT07545720
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a cream called Pinoxin to see if it can prevent skin injuries caused by radiation therapy in cancer patients. About 202 adults receiving high-dose radiation will be randomly assigned to use either Pinoxin or a placebo cream. The main goal is to see if Pinoxin lowers the rate of moderate to severe skin burns.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Pinoxin (a hydrogen-donor modified SOD skin protective agent)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a simple preventive cream to reduce painful skin burns for cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 2 trial with 202 participants, so it is still early. The placebo group may show similar results, and the cream may not reduce severe skin injury as hoped.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years, regardless of gender. 2. Pathologically diagnosed with a malignant tumor. 3. Scheduled to receive long-course radiotherapy with a total dose of ≥50 Gy, in accordance with standard treatment guidelines. 4. No prior history of radiotherapy. 5. Has provided signed and dated informed consent, indicating that the patient has been informed of all relevant aspects of the study. 6. Patients who are willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures. Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of dermatologic conditions (e.g., vitiligo, psoriasis, etc.) or collagen vascular diseases. 2. Planned hypofractionated radiotherapy regimen. 3. Recent use (e.g., within 3 months) of similar topical protective agents. 4. Known hypersensitivity to any related components or materials. 5. Immunodeficiency disorders. 6. Women who are pregnant or lactating. 7. Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, may compromise patient safety or protocol compliance. This includes severe concomitant illnesses (including psychiatric disorders) requiring active treatment, significant laboratory abnormalities, or significant social/familial factors.
