Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Oral Famotidine 40mg is administrated daily for 2 months twice per day before 2 months Radiotherapy: Once 4 hours before and the other 3 hours before daily Radiotherapy. A Physician determines Bowel & Urinary Toxicities Grade for the patients every week during the treatment by interviewing and blood cell counts are collected biweekly.
Intervention code [1] 283908 0
Prevention
Comparator / control treatment
Placebo tablets exactly are as same as famotidine tablets in all properties just with no active ingredient. The administration of placebo and assessment of Radiotherapy-Induced Toxicity Grade for control Group are as similar as Famotidine Group.

Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
An off-site person was employed for allocating Famotidine or placebo to Group A or B. Thus every participant who is enrolled in the study receives Famotidine or placebo according to this concealed and randomized schedule.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The PASS11 Computer Software was used to generate a randomization list. 36 Participants are allocated in 2 Groups: Group A & Group B
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?

Summary
Brief summary
There is some animal and human cell evidences to support a Radioprotectory role for Famotidin. In the last few years there has been increasing interest to find a suitable Radioprotector agent for Radotherapy. The aims of this trial are to
1) determine the efficacy of Famotidine to prevent of bowel Radiation-Induced Toxicity
2) determine the efficacy of Famotidine to prevent of Urinary Radiation-Induced Toxicity
3) determine the efficacy of Famotidine to prevent of Immune system Radiation-Induced Toxicity
