Filter by:The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of 0.5% amlexanox oral rinse compared to a vehicle control on mucositis-related ulceration and erythema (objective score)and on mucositis-related oral pain (subjective score). A secondary objective was to evaluate the safety of 0.5% amlexanox oral rinse by determining the frequency of treatment-emergent drug-related adverse events or clinical laboratory abnormalities.
Clinical research for the treatment of mucositis subjects who have dental implants for a minimum of one-year.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefit of a mouthwash with a phytopharmaceutical preparation, Homeodent®, compared to a mouthwash solution containing sodium bicarbonate, for prevention of severe mucositis (grade ≥3, RTOG classification) in patients receiving irradiation for oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx or cavum cancer. This is a phase III, controlled, randomized, single blind study. The estimated inclusion period is approximately 24 months. The number of patients required in this monocentric study is 330 (165 per arm).
Chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis is the inflammation of the oral mucous membranes, which are tissues that line the mouth. Oral mucositis is caused when chemotherapy attacks and kills the rapidly-dividing cells in the oral mucous membranes. This condition feels like sunburn (or heartburn) on the mucous tissues, and often leads to sores in the mouth or on the tongue. This can cause discomfort, pain, difficulties in eating, and a longer hospital stay. Several therapies appear to either prevent or reduce the severity of mouth ulcers caused by chemotherapy for multiple myeloma. Different strategies are used to try and prevent this condition; a small number of trials found that some of these strategies may be effective. None of the trials had compared head to head the use of saline solution (our standard of care), cryotherapy (ice chips) and Caphosol in patients receiving high-dose melphalan. The goal of this research study to evaluate the effectiveness of saline solution, cryotherapy, Caphosol for the prevention of oral mucositis in patients with multiple myeloma receiving high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The researchers hope to learn if there are any differences among saline solution, cryotherapy and Caphosol mouth rinse for the prevention of oral mucositis.
The purpose of this study was to: 1. To investigate the feasibility of using infrared (IR) thermometer to grade the severity of oral mucositis in patients with multiple myeloma undergoing chemotherapy. 2. To obtain preliminary data on the most optimal method of scoring the severity of oral mucositis by comparing the results obtained using the IR thermometer to the World Health Organization (WHO) mucositis grading system and the patient self-assessment questionnaire. 3. To Investigate the correlation between the quantitative readings obtained from oral mucosa with the IR thermometer.
In this double blinded randomized study we evaluate effect of Zinc sulfate for prevention mucositis due to high dose chemotherapy in the patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation whose received Busulfan and/or Cyclophosphamide. Patients randomized in two groups: intervention and control with balanced block randomization method. Intervention group received Zinc sulfate immediately after start conditioning regimen and continued for two weeks. Control group received placebo at the same manner. Prevalence and severity of mucositis will be compared in two groups.
Oral mucositis represents a major complication of cytotoxic chemotherapy among cancer in children. Low-power laser therapy (LPLT) has been used to reduce the incidence of oral mucositis in patients who are receiving high-dose chemotherapy. The aim of this study is to compare two preventives energies delivered of LPLT to oral mucosa in decreasing the severity of mucositis in children.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if Caphosol® (calcium phosphate) mouthwash is more effective than a baking soda solution at preventing and treating mucositis, in patients with sarcoma who are to be treated with chemotherapy. The safety of this drug will also be studied. Researchers also want to learn about the way calcium phosphate may affect mucous membranes. The goal of this clinical research study is to see if Caphosol® (calcium phosphate) mouthwash is better than baking soda solution in patients with sarcoma who are to be treated with chemotherapy . Caphosol will also be studied to see if it lessens the incidence and severity of oral mucositis (painful sores in the mouth).
This was an open-label, single-dose study to assess the safety, tolerability, and absorption/distribution kinetics of a single 100 µg dose of fentanyl sublingual spray in opioid-tolerant cancer subjects, with or without oral mucositis.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics and tolerability of buprenorphine patches in children who require opioid pain relief for moderate to severe mouth pain.
