Filter by:Low Level Laser Therapy has been used for a few years in some pediatric hospital centers for chemo- and radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis care. It may promote ulceration's healing, limits mucositis severity and associated pain. As its use is recommended in the treatment of radio induced mucositis in adults, the level of evidence in pediatric studies does not allow a precise treatment protocol. The investigators present here the protocol of a feasibility study in the haemato-oncology department of the Children University Hospital of Toulouse, with the view to a future efficacy study.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the therapeutic action through the diameter of the lesion, of low level laser (LLL) associated to photodynamic therapy (PDT) in oral mucositis (OM) lesions, in young patients. A randomized clinical trial blinded, split-mouth was performed. The study sample consisted of 15 cancer patients (3-16 years old) of Aldenora Bello Hospital (São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil). Random allocation by lot of treatments (PDT + LLL and LLL) to quadrants of the oral cavity was performed, and the patient was his own control. Patients were masked about therapy performed on each side of the arch. The evaluation period of both therapeutic regimens was 8 days, and the outcome assessed was the lesion size (measured in cm²). Friedman and Wilcoxon tests were applied and the effect magnitude calculated. The significance level was 5%. Statistically significant difference was observed between the groups for the lesion diameter of the 6th to the 8th day (greater regression of lesion size for the PDT + LLL group), which was confirmed by a difference magnitude moderated. Based on the findings, it is concluded that PDT + LLL showed greater therapeutic effect when compared to LLL in reducing the severity of OM lesions.
The initial proposed clinical study will be conducted in adult head and neck cancer subjects. This will be an open-labeled, proof of concept trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of EISO in a form of oral rinse as adjunctive therapy to standard of care. Santalis believes that the proposed study is a prudent and appropriate approach to investigate the potential of their product to prevent or improve oral mucositis symptoms commonly seen in subjects undergoing radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy.
This is a randomized Phase 2 study to evaluate two different steroid-based mouth rinses (Miracle Mouth Wash plus hydrocortisone versus prednisolone oral rinse) for the prevention or treatment of everolimus-associated stomatitis (mouth sores) in postmenopausal patients undergoing treatment with an aromatase inhibitor plus everolimus. An exploratory analysis will also evaluate patient response to next anti-cancer therapy of physician's choice following discontinuation of therapy with an aromatase inhibitor plus everolimus.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the severity of oral mucositis (OM) and inflammatory mediators (pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, metalloproteinases and growth factors) levels in saliva and blood; furthermore, analyze the effect of LLLT in product modulation of oxidative stress and cell damage from the oral mucosa transplant patients.
The purpose of this study is to: - evaluate the activity of SAMITAL in reducing the incidence of severe mucositis in head-and-neck cancer patients undergoing chemo-radiotherapy. - assess tolerability of SAMITAL and the impact on patients reported outcomes.
This study involves adults receiving radiation therapy for head and neck cancer and will test whether or not the study mouthrinse may lessen oral mucositis.
MUCIPLIQ is a nanopolymer engineered to mimic glycosaminoglycans such as heparan sulfates. Glycosaminoglycans are involved 1) in the stabilization of cells micro-environment, known as extracellular matrix, by binding to structural proteins, and 2) in cells communication process by protecting growth factors. At the site of a lesion, glycosaminoglycans are degraded, thereby the extracellular matrix is disorganized and the tissue is destroyed. By replacing damaged glycosaminoglycans, MUCIPLIQ provides a protection, and restores the matrix scaffold and cells communication, a process known as Matrix Therapy. The purpose of this new controlled study is to determine whether MUCIPLIQ can decrease the incidence and the severity of radio-chemotherapy-induced mucositis in patients suffering of upper aerodigestive tract cancers, when used as a preventive agent. The study's main hypothesis is that MUCIPLIQ mouthwash applications before radiotherapy would protect the healthy oral tissue against cytotoxic effect of chemotherapy and radiations.
Oral mucositis (OM) is a common adverse effect of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and conditioning regimens before Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT). The aim of this study is to effectiveness of cryotherapy as a prophylactic treatment in children undergoing HSCT.
To compare the performance of standard of care (SOC) + episil® versus SOC alone on oral mucositis in patients receiving conditioning treatment for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The primary variable will be the area under the curve (AUC) of oral mucositis scores defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) oral toxicity scale assessed daily by the investigator over the 28-day study period.
