Official Title: Phase 2 Study of Orally Administrated JBM-TC4 for the Prevention of Acute Radiation-induced Dermatitis in Breast Cancer Patients

Brief Summary: This trial is designed as a multicenter, double-blinded, randomized, placebo controlled study to assess the safety and efficacy of JBM-TC4 for the prevention and treatment of acute radiation-induced dermatitis in breast cancer patients receiving radiotherapy.

Detailed Summary:

This study will be conducted in 2 sites in Taiwan. Upon confirmation of meeting all eligibility criteria, will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to 2000 mg or 3000 mg JBM-TC4 oral treatment group or to placebo control group.

The treatment will start one week prior to radiotherapy and continue through the radiotherapy period for additional 11 weeks of JBM-TC4. The patients will take 3 treatment capsules twice a day, after breakfast and dinner. Screening visit will occur up to 14 days prior to randomization (Day 0), and informed consent form will be signed and patient eligibility criteria will be verified.Medical history information, chemistry/hematology evaluation, serum pregnancy will be conducted and documented. On Day 0, baseline assessment will be done and study drug will be dispensed. The patients will be instructed to start their study medication after breakfast on Day 1 and record the administration time in the study diary. Post-operative radiotherapy will begin for all patients after taking the treatment for 7 days. On Days 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, 57, 64, 71, 78, 85 and 92, data including radiation dermatitis severity, redness and pain scale will be collected when patients return to the clinic for evaluation. On Days 29, 57, 85 and 92, quality of life questionnaire will be completed by patients and blood will be drawn for chemistry/hematology evaluation. The final study visit will occur one week after the last dose of study medication, which will be around Day 92. ECG will be evaluated on Day 8 and 92. A total of 120 women with breast cancer will be recruited into this study. Safety will be assessed through recording of adverse events, assessment of vital signs, and chemistry/hematology laboratory testing. During each clinic visit, investigator will take down the vital signs of the patients and ask if the patients has experienced any adverse events. All information

Current Primary Outcome: Radiation Dermatitis Severity Scale (RDS) [ Time Frame: baseline to 92 days ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

• Presence of Moist Desquamation [ Time Frame: baseline to 92 days ]
  The presence of moist desquamation information will be obtained from RDS score at 0,8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, 57, 64, 71, 78, 86, 92 days. Patients with score 3 or more will be recorded as having moist desquamation on the radiotherapy site.
• Redness Scale [ Time Frame: baseline to 92 days ]
  Score of redness at the radiotherapy site will be evaluated at all the visits starting from Day 0 along with RDS scale (at 0,8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, 57, 64, 71, 78, 86, 92 days).
• Worst Pain Related to Radiodermatitis at the site [ Time Frame: baseline to 92 days ]
  Starting on Day 0, patients will be ask to circle a number that best describe the worst pain related to dermatitis they have been experiencing through the past week. (at 0,8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, 57, 64, 71, 78, 86, 92 days)
• Improve Quality of Life [ Time Frame: 92 days ]
  Quality of life is measured using the Quality of Life Questionnaire. Patients will select the response that best describe their conditions at Day 0, 29, 57, 85 and 92. Scores will be calculated ans transcribed scores will be collected on the case report forms.
• Vital sign [ Time Frame: baseline to 92 days ]
  Blood pressure and pulse rate will be measured in the writing arm and recorded to mmHg or beat per minute, respectively. The same arm will be used through this study. They will be measured after 5 minutes supine and 2 minutes standing. Oral temperature, recorded to the nearest 0.1 degree Celsius, will be measured during the supine vital sign measurements. All above will be obtained at Day 0,8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, 57, 64, 71, 78, 86 and 92.
• Electrocardiogram [ Time Frame: baseline to 85 days ]
  A 12-lead ECG will be obtained on all subjects at the designed times (Fay 0, 8, 29, 57 and 85) in the flow charts.
• Hematology and Serology test [ Time Frame: baseline to 92 days ]
  During the visits on Days 0, 29, 57, 85 and 92, the blood samples will be drawn for routine laboratory evaluations. The parameters includes hemoglobin, hematocrit, white blood count with differential, platelet count, red blood cell count, Glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceride, blood glucose test.. Plasma sample will be collected and frozen at visits days 0, 8 (after ECG collection), 29, 57 and 85 for future assay of pharmacokinetics.
• Occurrence of Adverse Events [ Time Frame: up to 92 days ]
  All adverse events, regardless of seriousness, severity, or presumed relationship to study drug, are events that occur between the day of with the informed consent is signed and completion of the treatment phase. They must be recorded using medical terminology in the source document and the Case Report Form. Graphical techniques may also be used to examine the relationship between these measures and dose and to investigate any trends in the data. Incidence rates for all adverse events , and the number of subjects withdrawing from the study for each reason will be tabulated.
