Filter by: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.
To examine whether the occurrence of oral mucositis can be reduced by dental oral management in patients by comparing the use of dental oral management through instruction by dental and oral surgeons (dental oral management group) and an observation group (brushing instruction only group) in a randomized, controlled study in females that are using everolimus for estrogen receptor-positive, hormone therapy-resistant refractory breast cancer.
Oral mucositis is a common complication of cancer therapy. Mucositis results from damage to the mucosal epithelium after delivery of chemotherapy or radiation treatments designed to treat the cancer. A number of treatment factors have been shown to influence the incidence and severity of mucositis, including chemotherapy type and dosage. High-dose chemotherapy before stem cell transplantation can cause severe oral mucositis and is often the side effect that patients find the most difficult to endure. Cryotherapy, keeping ice chips in the mouth during chemotherapy infusion, has been shown to prevent or alleviate mucositis caused by high-dose melphalan alone or given in combinations used in pre-transplant conditioning. One other drug notorious for causing severe mucositis is etoposide (VP-16). The specific aims of the study are: 1) to assess tolerability of cryotherapy given during chemotherapy administration; 2) to determine the efficacy of cryotherapy in reducing etoposide-induced mucositis.
Oral Mucositis (OM) is a painful and debilitating side effect of many of the drug/radiation regimens used to treat cancer. This study examines the investigational drug brilacidin and its possible application in prevention of oral mucositis in patients undergoing chemoradiation for treatment of head and neck cancer.
This study evaluates the efficiency and safety of ChiNing decoction to head and neck cancer patients with radioactive stomatitis. Half of participants will receive ChiNing decoction, while others will receive recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) spray.
The purpose of this study is to test whether a mouthwash made with a drug called doxepin can reduce the pain caused by mouth sores resulting from radiation therapy. A number of mouth rinse preparations exist for patients with treatment-related oral mucositis pain such as the DLA rinse, an over-the-counter medication. This study will evaluate the effects of doxepin compared to DLA (diphenhydramine, lidocaine and antacids) and placebo.Doxepin is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of depression, anxiety, long-term pain management, as well as management of rash.
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.
Several dental professionals recommend that complete denture wearers should brush their palate. Some advantages include better cleansing and blood flow, which may help to prevent or treat oral infections, such as denture-related stomatitis. However, there is no previous clinical trial dealing on that subject. Therefore, our goal is to evaluate whether palatal brushing may change the severity of denture stomatitis or counts of microbes on dentures and mucosa. After an initial exam and data collection, participants will receive instructions for palatal hygiene and will be assessed following 1 and 3 months. Collected data include patient-reported information, intraoral photographs and swabbing (for counting microbes). Tested Hypotheses: - There is no difference in the extent of palatal inflammation in edentulous patients with denture stomatitis before and after 3 months of palatal brushing. - There is no difference in the number of colony forming unit (CFU) of Candida isolated from palate and denture of patients affected by denture stomatitis before and after 3 months of palatal brushing.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of presence of oral fungal infection, which leads to denture-related stomatitis, on blood pressure, endothelial function and immune cell phenotype in patients wearing dentures.
This is a prospective, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of 2-DeNT oral topical powder in the treatment of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS). To be included in the study, subjects must have had minor RAS ulcers of less than 48 hours duration. It was randomly determined which powder was used first; all subjects used both the 2-DeNT powder and the placebo powder. Subjects applied the powder twice daily and maintained a daily log recording the size of the ulcer, its erythema score, and their level of pain. The subjects continued applying the 2-DeNT powder until the ulcer was resolved.
