NCT ID NCT07353671
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a liquid made from cockroach extract (Meilian Fuxin) to prevent severe skin damage in head and neck cancer patients receiving radiation therapy. About 60 participants will apply the solution to their skin during treatment. The goal is to see if it reduces the risk of painful, peeling skin reactions.
