Thalidomide for Preventing Radiation-Induced Dermatitis in Breast Cancer Patients (THAL-RID-BC)
Thalidomide for Prevention of Radiation-Induced Dermatitis in Breast Cancer Patients After Breast-Conserving Surgery Receiving Radiotherapy: A Randomized Controlled Study
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral thalidomide for the prevention of radiation-induced dermatitis (RID) in breast-conserving surgery patients receiving intensity-modulated whole-breast radiotherapy. This is a single-center randomized controlled trial. Female breast cancer patients aged >18 and <70 years after breast-conserving surgery scheduled for whole-breast intensity-modulated radiotherapy will be enrolled. Subjects will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to the intervention group (thalidomide 75 mg orally every bedtime plus standard skin care) or the control group (standard skin care alone). The observation window is defined as from the start of first radiotherapy to 42 days after completion of last radiotherapy. RID will be assessed weekly according to CTCAE v5.0, and the maximum grade within the observation window will be recorded for each subject. The primary endpoint is the incidence of grade ≥2 RID within the observation window. Secondary endpoints include incidence of grade ≥3 RID, time-to-first-onset of grade ≥2 RID, RID-related symptoms (burning, pruritus, pulling pain, tenderness), quality-of-life measured by EORTC QLQ-C30 / QLQ-BR23. Treatment-emergent adverse events will be documented using CTCAE v5.0, with special attention to thalidomide-related toxicities such as somnolence, peripheral sensory neuropathy and thromboembolism. A total of 68 participants are planned for enrolment.

- Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (HbA1c > 7.5%); patients with well-controlled diabetes are eligible.
- Active autoimmune or rheumatic diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, etc.); subjects with stable mild disease without systemic medication may be considered.
- Pre-existing or past history of peripheral neuropathy (numbness, tingling, paraesthesia); prior exposure to thalidomide, lenalidomide, pomalidomide; concomitant use of medications known to induce peripheral neurotoxicity.
- Past history of venous thromboembolism (VTE); hereditary thrombophilia; ongoing oestrogen-containing therapy.
- Severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: myocardial infarction, unstable angina or stroke within the past 6 months; left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50%.
- Pre-existing active eczema, psoriasis, chronic dermatitis, unhealed wounds or extensive scarring within the radiation field.
- Contraindications to radiotherapy.
- Known hypersensitivity to thalidomide or excipients of the preparation.
- Planned use of any additional oral or topical agents or dressings for prevention or treatment of radiation-induced dermatitis during study participation.
- Other conditions judged by the investigator making the subject unsuitable for this clinical trial.

Kokeellinen: Thalidomide plus Standard Care Group
Patients receive oral thalidomide together with standard supportive care concurrently with breast cancer radiotherapy for the prevention of radiation dermatitis. |
Patients receive thalidomide 75 mg orally once every night at bedtime, starting from the first fraction of radiotherapy until completion of the last fraction of radiotherapy. All patients receive uniform standard skin care education and guidance for radiation field skin: wear loose fitting 100% cotton tops; avoid direct sunlight exposure to irradiated skin; keep irradiated skin dry, clean and well ventilated; avoid friction and scratching. |
|
Active Comparator: Standard Care Control Group
Patients receive only standard supportive care during breast cancer radiotherapy, without thalidomide. |
All patients receive uniform standard skin care education and guidance for radiation field skin: wear loose fitting 100% cotton tops; avoid direct sunlight exposure to irradiated skin; keep irradiated skin dry, clean and well ventilated; avoid friction and scratching. |
