Brief Title: Effect of Pentoxifylline on Preventing Chemotherapy-induced Mucositis in Patients With Breast Cancer
Official Title: Effect of Pentoxifylline on Preventing Chemotherapy-induced Mucositis in Patients With Breast Cancer
Study ID: NCT06186700
Brief Summary: This clinical trial is a randomized controlled trial that aims to assess the usefulness of adding pentoxifylline to the neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment protocol of doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide for breast cancer patients to decrease the incidence of developing oral mucositis, downgrade the mucositis symptoms, alleviate the associated pain using the visual analogue scale, and enhance the quality of patient life using the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire. The participant will administer Pentoxifylline oral tablets three times per day along with the treatment protocol, starting from the first doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide cycle till the end of the fourth cycle. The researchers will compare the mucositis incidence and grade in the presence or absence of oral pentoxifylline.
