Filter by: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.
Radiation therapy (RT) is used in at least 50% of cancer patients and is critical in treating and palliating tumor-related symptoms. Normal tissue radiation toxicity remains an overwhelming obstacle in treating cancer patients with localized tumors. Mucositis is the inflammation and ulceration of the oral and gastrointestinal mucosa observed with different cancer therapies. Oral mucositis is a common, severe, and debilitating complication of RT occurring several days to weeks after RT initiation.
Inpatients or outpatients diagnosed with head and neck cancer who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were referred to the co-investigator(Dr. Chih-Jen Huang and Dr. Hui-Ching Wang), who then personally explained to each participant, the purpose and conduct of the study, so that they all understood their rights and interests before giving a written consent.
This prospective parallel, double-blind, four-arm randomised controlled clinical study is planned to assess the difference in the level of the inflammatory biomarkers expressed following the placement of the first dental implant in patients with history of periodontitis (successfully treated) and healthy controls without the disease, during implant osseointegration period. The subjects in both groups will also be randomised to receive one of the two types of implants provided which have different surface treatment.
Patients expected to receive a 500 mg/m2 of Leucovorin by iv & 500 mg/m2 of Fluorouracil (5FU) by iv bolus for their Colorectal Cancer. The patients will receive a one-hour infusion of TK-90 or equivalent TK-90 placebo depending on randomization at 5 hours & 11 hours post 5-FU iv bolus. This treatment cycle will continue weekly for 6 weeks. The TK112690 dose will be 45 mg/kg.
Patients expected to receive a continuous course of radiation as single daily fractions of 2.0 Gy treatment with a cumulative radiation dose of 70 Gy. The radiation can be 2DRT, 3DRT,IMRT etc. Prior to each radiation treatment the patients will receive a one-hour infusion of TK-90 or equivalent TK-90 placebo depending on randomization. 6 Hours after the completion of TK-90 infusion or TK-90 placebo dose, the patients will receive another identical TK-90 or TK-90 placebo treatment depending on randomization. This treatment cycle will continue for 7 weeks. The TK112690 dose will be 45 mg/kg.
This is a randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) with a split-mouth design. After signing the informed consent, patients satisfying the inclusion criteria will undergo supragingival and subgingival professional oral hygiene of both arches performed with ultrasonic instrumentation with PEEK inserts, manual instrumentation with titanium curettes and air polishing with glycine powder. After that, the following treatment will be randomly assigned: - Ozoral Pro and Ozoral gel administration and home application for 2 peri-implant mucositis sites. - Curasept chlorhexidine gel 1% administration and domiciliary application for 14 days for 2 peri-implant contralateral sites. The study will last 2 years. Patients will be visited at: T0, after 1 month from T0 (T1), after 3 months (T2), after 6 months (T3), after 9 months (T4), after 12 months (T5), after 15 months (T6), after 18 months (T7), after 21 months (T8) and after 24 months (T9). For each time point, (except for T1), professional hygiene will be performed again. At each recall session, the following periodontal clinical indices were collected using a probe on each peri-implant site: BOP, GBI, conditions of the marginal mucosa (swelling and erythema), suppuration, migration of the marginal mucosa, PD, PI ,BS.
evaluate preventive and therapeutic effects of Rebamipide gargle on reducing incidence of oral mucositis in comparison with benzydamine HCL mouthwash.
In this study genomic, proteomic and histological technologies for the search and characterization of epigenetic modifications and molecular or protein markers, useful in the diagnosis and progression of peri-implant diseases and prevention of implant failure will be used.
Oral and intestinal mucositis are major risk factors for the occurrence of fever during neutropenia and bloodstream infections after intensive chemo- and radiotherapy. These complications often require dose reductions or cause delay of treatment, and thereby interfere with optimal anticancer treatment. Currently, there are no effective strategies to prevent or treat mucositis and the related complications. The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) has shown to be pivotal in the pathogenesis of mucositis and recently, it has been established in murine models that IL-1 inhibition significantly ameliorates chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis. The investigators recently conducted a phase IIa study (AFFECT-1, NCT03233776) studying the safety and maximum tolerated dose of anakinra, a recombinant human IL-1 receptor antagonist in adult patients with multiple myeloma receiving high-dose melphalan (HDM) in the preparation for an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) who are at high risk for experiencing mucositis and fever during neutropenia (FN). Since treatment with anakinra has shown to be safe in this study population, the investigators will continue with a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled multicenter phase IIb trial to establish efficacy in the management of fever during neutropenia and mucositis.
