You can achieve that using:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} p=(.+)$ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com? [R=301,L]

The {QUERY_STRING} will detect the correct query, and if the condition is met it will rewrite it to www.example.com.

The ? at the end of the redirected URL is there so that the query string does not appear on the end of the URL.

Make sure you clear your cache before testing this.

thanks, I forgot to mention I need any parameter after "p" to be ignored, basically any URL with ?p= needs to be redirected

I've updated so that anything after the parameter p will now be ignored (so cpage) and it takes any number variable related to p.

I was expermenting with RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} p?

Having issues with this @azathoth ? I noticed you removed it as a correct answer.
