JRCT ID: jRCTs061180066

Registered date:19/03/2019

Basic Information

• Recruitment status: Complete
• Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied: Advanced or recurrent skin malignancies
• Date of first enrollment: 09/11/2017
• Target sample size: 10
• Study type: Interventional

Intervention(s)

1) Intravenous administration of BPA-fructose complex (200mg/Kg.BW) for 2.5 to 3 hour and blood sampling at the time of just before irradiation. The 10B concentration in the blood was measured by prompt gamma ray spectrometry.
2) Optimization of the neutron dose based on the measured blood 10B concentration and neutron flux. As the therapeutic dose, the maximum tolerable dose to the mucosa itself is chosen. Our limitation dose is not to excess the tolerable dose to mucosa. It is less than 15 Gy-eq.

Outcome(s)

• Primary Outcome: Tumor response in 6 months after BNCT
• Secondary Outcome: Adverse events in 6 months after BNCT
