Abstract

Mepitel® Film (MEP) and standard care (STD) were compared for radiation dermatitis in SCCHN patients. This trial was stopped prematurely since13/28 patients did not tolerate MEP. Grade ≥2 dermatitis: 34.8% (MEP) vs. 35.7% (STD) at 50 Gy, 65.2% vs. 59.3% at 60 Gy. MEP was unsatisfactorily tolerated and appeared not superior (NCT03047174).
