Filter by:This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial of the use of pentoxifylline (oxpentifylline) for the treatment of recurrent mouth ulcers.
GM-CSF may protect normal cells from the side effects, such as mucositis, of radiation therapy and may help damaged tissue heal faster after radiation therapy. This randomized clinical trial is studying how well GM-CSF works in preventing and treating mucositis in patients who are undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.
The purpose of this study is to explore the protective effect and safety of soluble beta-1,3/1,6-glucan compared to placebo in oral mucositis in head and neck patients receiving radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. Hypothesis: Soluble beta-1,3/1,6-glucan will through its immunomodulating activities prevent oral mucositis
Background: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is a common phenomenon in Primary Medicine.Frequency of the phenomenon can be as high as 25% of the general population and the recurrence of the problem can be up to 50%.Different approaches for treatment are described: treatment with various natural vitamins , local ointments , disinfectant agents for local treatment , local antibiotic ointments , NSAID, local cortisone-steroids , and even medication on the basis of immune-depressants of the immune system and systematic steroids . Methods: A double-blind study of daily administration of sublingual Vitamin B12 tablets manufactured by Solgar (each tablet containing 1000 mcg. of Vitamin B12) opposed to placebo tablets. Purpose of the research: To investigate the effect of Vitamin B12 on the frequency of recurrent canker sores of the mouth (RAS). Study hypothesis: Treatment with vitamin B12 will reduce the recurrence rate and will diminish the symptomatology of RAS episodes.
Primary: 1. To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of palifermin in reducing the incidence and severity of oral mucositis (OM) in patients with sarcoma receiving multicycle chemotherapy. 2. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of palifermin when given pre chemotherapy. 3. To evaluate the safety profile of palifermin when combined with multicycle chemotherapy. Exploratory: 1. To evaluate the biologic effect of palifermin on oral mucosa. 2. To investigate potential biomarker development by biochemical analysis in blood cells, serum, and plasma. 3. To investigate the effects of genetic variation in mucositis genes, drug metabolism genes, and drug target genes on patient response to the treatment regimen.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the effect of RK-0202 versus placebo on the incidence and severity of oral mucositis in subjects receiving radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. Concurrent chemotherapy is not allowed in the study.
This purpose of this study is to investigate whether ATL-104 is safe and well tolerated, and whether it shows evidence of efficacy in mucositis in patients undergoing PBSCT
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of palifermin (recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor, rHuKGF) in reducing the incidence of severe oral mucositis in subjects with locally advanced head and neck cancer receiving radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy as adjuvant treatment for their disease.
To evaluate whether palifermin (rHuKGF) administered as a single dose is non-inferior to 3 consecutive doses of palifermin in reducing the incidence of severe oral mucositis (World Health Organization [WHO] grade 3 and 4).
CG53135-05, a recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-20 (rhFGF-20) protein, is under investigation for the prevention of oral mucositis. Oral mucositis is a commonly occurring side effect of high-dose chemotherapy in patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The objective of this Phase II trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CG53135-05 when administered as a single dose to patients at risk for developing oral mucositis.
