Study of a New Medical Device for Oral Mucositis — MDOM  

Oral Mucositis Clinical Trial

Official title: A Randomized Study of a New Medical Device for Oral Mucositis (MDOM Trial)

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single-center randomized controlled trial of a new medical device (Bocaliner™) that has been designed to improve the treatment of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in patients undergoing cancer treatment. The goal of this study is to determine tolerance and response to the use of Bocaliner™ as reported by patients with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy-induced oral mucositis.

Clinical Trial Description

All patients will be referred by their treating physicians to the designated study healthcare providers. Patients will have been diagnosed with oral mucositis and will be receiving oral topical medication for oral pain as well as other problems related to oral mucositis. All subjects will sign an informed consent form.

Initially, subjects will undergo an oral examination and for determination of the World Health Organization (WHO) Oral Toxicity Scale and will then complete a General Oral Mucositis Assessment Scale.

Subjects will then be randomized into two groups. Group 1 will continue standard therapy with oral topical agents for oral mucositis. Group 2 will additionally receive Bocaliner™ devices along with cleaning materials with instructions about device use and cleaning. Subjects in the Group 2 will use Bocaliner™ with each topical treatment for oral mucositis up to 5 times per day for 2 weeks or shorter if not tolerated.

Subjects assigned to the Group 1 will continue the original therapy for oral mucositis, including oral topical treatments and general hygiene measures. Participants that are randomized to the Group 2 will place Bocaliner™ inside of their mouth for 5 minutes and fill out the Initial Bocaliner™ Questionnaire. They will then continue all original therapy for oral mucositis, including oral topical treatments and general hygiene, and will place the Bocaliner™ device inside of their mouth and hold it in place up to 40 minutes as instructed after each topical treatment.

All subjects will be contacted by the Research Coordinator via phone call at 5 and 10 days after the initial enrollment and invited to answer the questions from the Modified PROMS Questionnaire at the hospital. Alternatively, the questionnaire can be provided via email, or the questions can be answered via phone call, if preferred by a patient. Subjects in Group 2 will describe their experience of using Bocaliner™ through the Bocaliner™ Follow-up Questionnaire. All subjects will give a detailed description of their current medication usage for oral mucositis. Participants from both groups will return to their practitioners after 14 days and undergo a general oral examination. The WHO Oral Toxicity Scale will be used to assess the grade of oral mucositis. Subjects will also complete the Modified PROMS Questionnaire at days 5, 10, and 14 to understand the impact of standard treatment vs Bocaliner™ on symptoms related to oral mucositis. ;
