About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for GI Patients on Oxaliplatin Containing Regimen

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Individuals ≥18 years of age will be enrolled.
  • Patients must have histologic confirmation of a solid tumor malignancy that will be treated with a regimen that contains full-dose oxaliplatin.
  • Patients may be receiving treatment in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or metastatic setting.
  • Patients must be treatment-naïve to platinum-agents at the time of enrollment. Prior treatment with non-platinum agents is permitted.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any active intraoral infection, including yeast infection (thrush) or active oral herpes simplex virus at the time of enrollment.
  • Patients may not have dentures.
  • Patients may not have a disorder that may result in altered taste sensation at baseline. This includes but is not limited to: persistent dry mouth.
