Efficacy Study of Cosmetic Product on Xerosis Induced by Systemic Anticancer Treatments
Randomized, Comparative Study to Evaluate the Effects of Cosmetic Balm on Xerosis and Associated Signs and Symptoms, Induced by Systemic Anticancer Treatments in Subjects Receiving Targeted Educational Action Compared to a Control Group
Xerosis is one of the most common adverse events in patients treated with new cancer therapies and chemotherapies, such as multi-kinase inhibitors and more specifically, immunological checkpoint inhibitors used in the treatment of several cancers.
Xerosis appears as a result of a deterioration of the stratum corneum which results in a reduction of the hydric power of the skin. It reaches the trunk and limbs, with an incidence of 4-35%, and gradually disappears after the end of treatment.
Preventive targeted educational action is essential before initiation of cancer treatment. Once the xerosis is installed, the management is based on the use of emollients to contribute to the hydric correction of the skin. In the case of inflammation or associated infection, the administration of topical corticosteroids and / or local or oral antibiotic therapy is prescribed.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the cosmetic product (balm) on the improvement of xerosis induced by systemic anticancer treatments, in participants receiving targeted educational action compared to a control group.
Clinical, biological and biometrological assessments will be performed to characterized the effects in both induced xerosis and associated signs and symptoms.
Each group will include 40 participants.
Study Overview
Detailed Description
Systemic anticancer treatments, whether they are conventional molecules or more current molecules such as targeted therapies, are responsible for numerous dermatological adverse effects, notably xerosis, the repercussions of which may lead to a decrease in compliance, dose reductions or even a complete cessation of cancer treatment.
To date, the management of these adverse effects is not performed routinely and published efficacy data on secondary side effects are missing.
The purpose of this comparative study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the RV4429A balm combined with a targeted educational action, on the improvement of induced xerosis on the one hand and on the improvement of the signs and symptoms associated with this induced xerosis. on the other hand ; based on clinical, biometrological and biological criteria. The objective is to provide data on this product in this symptomatology.
Xerosis and the associated dermatological signs / symptoms will be assessed individually as well as through overall scores, as measured by both the investigator and the patient as clinical expression is often poorly correlated with psychic and functional impact. Quality of life, cosmetic acceptability and targeted educational action and tolerance will also be assessed.
The improvement of the quality of life of the patients, the reduction of the undesirable effects induced could thus guarantee the observance of the patients vis-à-vis the anticancer treatments.
The study area is the whole body. A target area will be chosen and will be located on one of the upper limbs (outside the hands) or on the trunk (outside a hairy area). The target area is defined as the xerosis area representative of the the most severe xerotic state, according to the investigator's opinion.
The dermatologist who will evaluate the participant should be, as far as possible, the same throughout the study.
A second period will be carried out by the participants of the control group who will enter in the targeted educational action phase of in their turn.
The study includes 2 visits for the informed group and 3 visits for the control group:
- V1 (J1) - Inclusion (common to both groups)
- V2 (J21 ± 2J or J28 ± 2J) - End of study (informed group) - Intermediate (control group)
- V3 (J42 ± 2J or J56 ± 2J) - End of study (control group) The dates of the visits 2 and 3 will be adapted to the frequency of the visits of administration of the anticancer treatment.
The maximum duration of participation for a participant may be 23 days or 44 days or it may be 30 days or 58 days from the inclusion visit to the end-of-study visit, depending on the group and depending the timeframe between cancer treatment visits.
All subjects in the control group will enter onto the informed group after three weeks or one month (depending on the timeframe between cancer treatment visits), regardless of their condition (presence or absence of on-going xerosis).

---|---|
Informed group
This group will receive the Cosmetic product RV4429A balm and targeted educational action between V1 and V2 or between V2 and V3 according to the randomization
|
Cosmetic balm: application twice daily on the whole body in sufficient quantity to cover all the xerosis areas. It contains an I-modulia(r) complex which decreases the sensation of itching, CER-OMEGA which are lipids similar to those of the skin, help repair and nourish the skin, finally Avène Thermal Spring Water which have soothing and softening properties. Targeted education action consist in advices and preventive measures (including hygiene) regarding xerosis and associated dermatological signs / symptoms. Emollient and application tips and other supportive care tips will be provided. The targeted educational action will be monitored by the medical and paramedical teams (specialized nurses). |
Control group
The control group, in the first period between V1 and V2, is a group not informed about his skin condition, not receiving any emollient product and not receiving targeted educational action. It's representative of the real life called "best supportive care/Supportive care": the doctor prescribes what it seems to be the best for his patient according to his opinion in view of his condition, at a given moment. A high variability exists within this group. In order to answer the investigator's hypothesis and demonstrate the effectiveness of the RV4429A balm, the parallel group design is chosen for the first follow-up period and then a second follow-up period is chosen for the initial control group to replace the inter-individual variability by intra-individual variability. |
