Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, two-arm study conducted in subjects receiving chemoradiation therapy for the treatment of head and neck cancer to assess the efficacy of MuGard. The study will evaluate the ability of MuGard to reduce the symptoms of oral mucositis. The study includes a treatment period of approximately 7 weeks depending on the subject's prescribed radiation plan.

MuGard is a liquid that is classified as a medical device. It is a hydrated polymer system (oral hydrogel) and is intended for the management of oral mucositis/stomatitis. When gently distributed within the mouth, the mucoadhesive formulation results in the formation of a protective coating over the oral mucosa. Subjects undergoing chemotherapy with radiation for the treatment of head and neck cancer are at high risk of developing oral mucositis as an adverse side-effect of cancer treatment. MuGard was previously shown to reduce the incidence and severity of mucositis in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy when compared with data from historical control groups. The purpose of this study is to perform a direct comparison of the effectiveness of MuGard with a control group.
