Filter by:This study is a long-term follow-up study for patients who have been administered AAV2hAQP1 in the Phase 1 Open-Label, Dose Escalation Study to Determine the Optimal Dose, Safety, and Activity in Subjects with Radiation Induced Parotid Gland Hypofunction and Xerostomia
This is a prospective phase II clinical randomized controlled study, the purpose of this study is to assess whether superficial parotid lobe-sparing intensity-modulated radiotherapy (SPLS-IMRT) can decrease the incidence of xerostomia versus conventional IMRT (C-IMRT) in NPC patients.
This randomized control trial aims to investigate the efficacy of oral moisturizing jelly in head and neck cancer patients with xerostomia.
This study is being done to find out what effects, good and/or bad, acupuncture has on participants and their xerostomia caused by radiation therapy for the treatment of the cancer.
Background: - Radiation can cause the parotid salivary glands to make less saliva (dry mouth). This can cause problems like infections and tooth decay. Researchers hope a new drug can help people with dry mouth caused by radiation. Objectives: - To examine the safety of AAV2hAQP1 gene therapy. To see if the drug increases saliva in people whose parotid glands have had radiation. Eligibility: - People at least 18 years of age with a history of radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. Design: Participants will be screened in 2 visits with: - medical history - physical exam - scans of the head, neck, and chest - intravenous administration of glycopyrrolate to stop saliva - saliva collections - sialogram which is a procedure in which a substance is injected in the parotid gland and X-rays are taken. - non-drug infusion - a small piece of skin being taken 3-5-day hospital stay: Participants will receive the gene infusion. The AAV2hAQP1 will be in a solution in a syringe. It will be slowly pushed into the parotid gland through the parotid duct, an opening in the mouth near the second upper molar tooth. 10 outpatient visits over 3 years. These may include: - repeats of selected screening tests, including saliva collection - blood and urine tests - oral and dental examinations - head and neck exams, including the use of a thin scope to see the back of the throat - questionnaires - a small piece of parotid tissue being taken by either a small scope through the parotid duct or by a small needle guided by ultrasound - scans of the head and neck. For some, contrast will be injected in a vein - completion of a diary about how the participant feels between visits - swabs of teeth and gums to assess the microbiome of the mouth
The purpose of this study is to determine whether continuous use of edible, gel-based artificial saliva in cancer patients with dry mouth problems will reduce signs and symptoms of dry mouth and improve quality of patients' saliva.
The present study compared the efficacy of BioXtra spray and mouth rinse in the relief of radiotherapy-induced xerostomia in patients referred to Cancer Institute, Tehran Imam Khomeini Hospital.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether hyperbaric oxygen is effective in the treatment of a dry mouth that occured after radiotherapy for head and neck tumours.
