Filter by:The goal of this [ type of study: Clinical trial] is to test effectiveness of Aloe Vera Gel and Manuka Honey in management of Radiation Induced Mucositis in head and neck cancer patients. The main question [s] ] is to [ learn about, test, compare etc.] it aims to answer are: 1. Is Aloe Vera Gel and Manuka Honey effective in management of Radiation Induced Mucositis? 2. Does Aloe Vera Gel and Manuka Honey affect the level of TGFβ1 and EGF in saliva of patients with radiation induced mucositis? participants will be asked to apply Aloe Vera Gel and Manuka Honey or saline three times daily during radiotherapy and 6 months after radiotherapy.
A prospective, randomized, controlled, parallel clinical trial will be conducted at Clinical Oncology and Nuclear Medicine Center at Mansoura University Hospital to assess the efficacy of N-acetylcysteine in the prevention of radiotherapy induced oral mucositis in Head and Neck cancer patients.
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with more than 700,000 new cases and more than 350,000 deaths each year. At present, radiotherapy is an important measure to control the recurrence of head and neck tumors, but almost all patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma will have acute inflammatory reactions such as radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) after radiotherapy, which seriously affects the quality of life and radiotherapy efficacy of patients. Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) is an acute phase protein associated with inflammation. Our previous basic research found that serum SAA1 expression levels can be used as biomarkers to assess the dose received by the receptor in the early stages of radiation damage. At the same time, we confirmed that the serum level of SAA1 in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma increased after radiotherapy. Therefore, we intend to conduct a prospective, multicenter, observational study to further explore the predictive power of plasma SAA1 levels for radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis, with a view to early screening and prevention of RIOM patients.
Radiation therapy is a common treatment modality in the management of head and neck malignancies. However, head and neck tumors often have some adverse reactions when receiving radiation therapy, such as dry mouth, change of taste, oral mucositis, etc. Among them, the incidence of oral mucositis is more than 90%, and the incidence of oral mucositis of degree 3 or more than degree 3 is more than 50%. Severe oral mucositis seriously affects the quality of survival of patients. Lactobacillus Reuteri is a natural flora of the human body that can be found in the gastrointestinal tract, skin, etc. Among them, Lactobacillus Reuteri DSM 17938 and ATCC PTA 5289 can be isolated from healthy mammals as well as poultry, and are common Lactobacillus strains marketed for the production of oral probiotics, which are commonly used in infant formulas, among others. In oral inflammatory diseases, it has been reported in the literature that Lactobacillus Reuteri DSM 17938 and ATCC PTA 5289 can reduce gingival and periodontal inflammation, mainly through the mechanisms of modulating the host inflammatory response and displacing pathogenic bacteria. In terms of safety, oral Lactobacillus Reuteri has good stability, very low pathogenic potential, and is not toxic to humans. Therefore, this study is a placebo-controlled, multi-center, open, randomized controlled clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of Lactobacillus Reuteri for the prevention of radioactive oral mucosal reactions in intensity-modulated radiotherapy for head and neck tumors, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
The device´s intended use is to treat defects and/or lesions of the oral mucosa, e.g. oral mucositis.To prove safety of the device in terms of clinical results.
Introduction: Among the most drastic complications of chemotherapy is oral mucositis(OM). It is a painful inflammatory, often ulcerative condition and may increase risk for systemic infections leading to prolonged hospital stays and interruptions of treatment protocol. Many treatment modalities have been introduced for the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis , of which low level laser therapy(LLLT) is gaining popularity. The use of LLLT as a prophylactic treatment for chemotherapy induced oral mucositis in pediatric cancer patients is still lacking robust evidence. Also, the parameters used have not been optimized and no standard method has yet been established. Based on this point, this study will compare photobiomodulation to the conventional preventive program of oral mucositis applied in 57357 children's cancer hospital foundation to determine which will be optimal for the prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced OM. Aim: To assess the effectiveness of low level laser therapy in the prophylaxis of oral mucositis in pediatric patients diagnosed with Hematological cancers. Methods: This study is a randomized, prospective, double-blinded trial that will include acute Myeloid leukemia patients admitted to receive chemotherapy cycle between the age of 3 and 18years. These patients will be randomized into two groups: group 1 will receive low level laser therapy and group 2 will receive mock treatment. Patient will be followed to asses the development of oral mucositis on prespecified time points.
This is a Phase 1 randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, ascending dose study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of rVSV∆G-MARV-GP [Angola] (PHV01, Marburg Virus glycoprotein [MARV GP] Vaccine) in healthy adults. PHV01 is a live, attenuated rVSV vaccine expressing the MARV GP. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Which dose of PHV01 is safe to administer to, and well-tolerated by healthy adult subjects? - What is the immunologic response (Marburg-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) ELISA antibody and neutralizing antibodies) to each dose level? Participants will receive 1 intramuscular injection of PHV01 or placebo on Day 1 and will be followed for 181 days.
This study aims to evaluate the photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) for the prevention of oral mucositis in osteosarcoma patients submitted to high doses of methotrexate, through two different protocols. As a hypothesis, photobiomodulation for the prevention of oral mucositis after cycles of Cisplatin, Doxorubicin and Methotrexate is more effective than just the application of preventive low-power laser after Methotrexate alone.
Objective: To compare the effects of two low-power laser therapy protocols (application of a wavelength in the mouth, red region and another in the neck infrared region X simultaneous dual application of two wavelengths, red and infrared region in the mouth and neck) in the prevention of oral mucositis and oropharyngeal pain, dysphagia, TPN and opioid use in patients undergoing HSCT allogenic. Materials and methods: This is a phase III, double-blind, randomized study that will use LBP to prevent oral mucositis and oropharyngeal pain in two protocols with different dosimetry (divided into Group A and Group B). Patients will be included enrolled at the Bone Marrow Transplant Center - Cancer Hospital I - INCA, with indication of allogeneic HSCT, over 18 years old, able to cooperate with the treatment and perform the oral hygiene protocol, who present oral mucosa complete on the first day of conditioning (D-7) and who agree to participate in the study through the term of free and clarified informed consent. The randomization will be carried out in permuted blocks using the REDCap® program by a member of the non-blind team. In group A, extraoral applications will be carried out with the issuance of radiation in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (808nm) and intraorally in the red region of the electromagnetic spectrum (660nm). In group B, the extra applications and intraoral will be performed with simultaneous double radiation emission in the regions red and infrared of the electromagnetic spectrum (660nm/808nm). for both groups will use the device from DMC (São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil), with a indium gallium aluminum phosphide (InGaAlP) and aluminum gallium arsiade diode (AlGaAs), with a power of 100mW and a beam area of 0.09842 cm². The LBP will be performed by a dental surgeon, on weekdays, starting on D-7 and end on the day of the "marrow take" (patient presents 500 neutrophils for three days consecutive). The region treated in extraoral applications will be the carotid triangle bilateral, bounded by the superior belly of the omohyoid, posterior belly of the digastric and by the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle; and intraorally, the mucous membranes right and left cheeks, lower and upper lips, upper and lower labial mucous membranes, right and left lateral borders of the tongue, lingual belly, buccal floor and soft palate. Patients will be evaluated daily (weekdays per week) for oral mucositis, pain in the oral cavity and oropharynx, dysphagia, use of total parenteral nutrition and opioids. Patients and dentists responsible for evaluating patients will be blinded to the study, that is, they will not know about the treatment that the patient will receive. The data from interest will be collected from the physical records and electronic systems of the institution, through standardized forms and will be included in REDCap®. Statistical analyzes will be carried out using the latest available version of the R software for Windows. It will be A descriptive analysis of the data found in the clinical, laboratory and sociodemographic data. To compare the incidence of mucositis, dysphagia, pain (treating the variables as dichotomous), the chi-square test of Pearson. Statistical analyzes will be performed using the latest available version of the R software for Windows. A descriptive analysis of the data found will be carried out in clinical examination, laboratory and sociodemographic data. To compare the incidence of mucositis, dysphagia, pain (treating the variables as dichotomous), the Pearson's chi-square test. Mucositis-free survival analyzes (any degree) and dysphagia (any degree) will be performed by the Kaplan-Meier method and the curves compared by log-rank test. The time interval between the start of conditioning and date of first grade ≥1 mucositis or dysphagia to date of the "marrow take" (500 neutrophils in the peripheral blood for three consecutive days). Participants without mucositis or dysphagia will be censored on the date of marrow collection. Tests of hypothesis with p-value < 0.05. The sample calculation predicted 82 patients, who will be evaluated by intention of treatment, counting with 10% loss to reach 37 patients in group A and 37 in group B. The estimate of the presence of oral mucositis grades 2, 3 and 4 in group A is 36.8% and in group B 10%. The estimate of the presence of dysphagia grades 3 and 4 (or pain in oropharynx grades 2 and 3) in group A is 80% and in group B 40%. the statistical test The two-tailed Z test with pooled variance was used, with a type 1 error of 0.05 and the error type 2 of 0.20. This research project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee responsible (CAAE 67172223.9.0000.5274, opinion No. 5.947.434) and will be conducted in a according to Resolution 466/12 of the National Health Council and the Good News Guide Clinical Practices.
