Filter by:Oral mucositis (OM) is a secondary complication of chemo/radiotherapy, which causes pain, dysphagia and predisposition to infections, being a frequent reason for hospitalization that may have an impact on the prognosis of cancer patients. Various interventions for the prevention of OM have been studied, including the use of zinc, which is a micronutrient that participates in various cellular functions and in wound repair, while showing a reduction in the incidence and severity of MO, so the purpose of the present study is to evaluate the impact of the use of zinc in the prevention of oropharyngeal mucositis in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in chemotherapy, comparing it with the use of placebo. Hypothesis: The use of zinc reduces the incidence and severity of OM in pediatric patients with ALL in chemotherapy compared to the control group.
The ARMOR Trial will test the efficacy of an oral care protocol to treat oral mucositis (OM) in patients receiving radiation (RT) or chemoradiation (chemoRT) for head and neck cancer. Participants will attend a screening/baseline visit, weekly intervention visits while they are undergoing RT or chemoRT, and a visit 3 months after completing RT or chemoRT. At intervention visits, samples will be collected (such as saliva, oral swabs) and participants will receive their assigned study intervention, either Oral Mucosal Deterging and Dental Prophylaxis protocol (OMDP), which includes a dental cleaning and treatment to the oral mucosa, or a Standard of Care Oral Hygiene, which includes teeth brushing and no treatment to the oral mucosa.
Patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy/conditioning prior to stem cell transplantation (SCT) are at high risk for developing painful lesions in the oral cavity, known as oral mucositis (OM). In this high risk adult population, the study objectives are to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of Gelclair® (GEL; an FDA cleared medical device indicated for the management of painful oral lesions) and ideal timing of initiation of therapy (at the time of conditioning or after mild OM is diagnosed) for the management of oral mucositis (OM), relative to a commercially available compounded mouth wash (First® Mouthwash BLM "Magic Mouth Wash"; MMW) initiated after mild OM is diagnosed. The study may be adapted based on an interim analysis and recommendations of the interim data review committee.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of topically administered AG013 compared to placebo for reducing Oral Mucositis (OM) in patients undergoing chemoradiation for the treatment of head and neck cancer, as measured by the duration, time to development, and overall incidence of OM during the active treatment phase, beginning from the start of chemoradiation therapy (CRT) until 2 weeks following its completion. The effect of AG013 on patient-reported symptoms and analgesic use during the active treatment phase, and on the cumulative radiation dose administered before the onset of OM will also be evaluated, as will biomarkers and, in a subset of subjects, the PK (pharmacokinetic) profile of AG013.
Treatment for head and neck cancer often involves a combination of chemotherapy and radiation. One of the unfortunate consequences of standard care for head and neck cancer is the development of painful mouth sores, known as oral mucositis. This study will evaluate the use of cobiprostone spray to prevent oral mucositis, when given for the duration of radiation and chemotherapy (RT/CT) standard care.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the administration of Caphosol rinse, at the start of chemotherapy, will prevent the development of mucositis (greater than or equal to grade 2 in children, adolescents and young adults. This is a randomized, controlled trial.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ALD518 in modifying the course of oral mucositis in subjects with head and neck cancer receiving concomitant chemotherapy and radiotherapy
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study for the treatment of head and neck cancer(HNC), to assess the ability of EN3285 to prevent or delay the onset of severe oral mucositis(OM).
Objectives: 1. To assess the tolerability of performing optical coherence tomography and/or optical spectroscopy in patients with acute oral mucositis. 2. To determine the feasibility of obtaining optical coherence tomography images and/or fluorescence excitation emission matrices from normal and affected sites in patients with acute oral mucositis. 3. To compare optical data obtained with optical coherence tomography and/or spectroscopy with the clinical appearance and scoring of oral mucositis lesions.
