Spray shield: new hope against radiation burns
NCT ID NCT07399990
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a superoxide dismutase (SOD) spray can prevent severe radiation dermatitis (skin burns) in 140 head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. The spray aims to neutralize free radicals that cause skin damage. If effective, it could reduce treatment interruptions and improve quality of life.
