Active clinical trials for "Stomatitis"

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

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.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of benzydamine hydrochloride 0.15% oral rinse to a vehicle oral rinse in the treatment of radiation-induced oral mucositis, and to compare the care normally used for radiation-induced oral mucositis to vehicle oral rinse to ensure that the vehicle does not have detrimental effects on the oral mucosa

To explore a more efficient and scientific clinical treatment plan for acute radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis(RIOM/RTOM).it is hoped that the drug combination can more effectively improve the cure rate of acute RIOM,reduce the degree of oral mucosal injury and utilization rate of analgesic drugs,and reduce the occurrence of severe acute RIOM. Almost all patients with head and neck will have RIOM because of receiving radiation therapy.Studies have shown that the incidence of severe acute RIOM accounted for about 34% to 56%.There is no specific drug when acute RIOM is often accompanied by varying degrees of pain and infection in the mouth.Severe RIOM seriously affects ingestion through the mouth and doesn't conducive to the treatment and prognosis of tumor diseases. To further explore the efficiency and advantages of the combined application of Jeksung and anti-radiation spray in the treatment of acute RIOM at all levels,and provide more data support for relevant clinical treatment.Explore whether the Jeksung with combination of anti-radiation spray can effectively delay the occurrence of acute RIOM and delay the course of the disease.It will be expected to improve the quality of life of cancer patients ,reduce the occurrence of adverse events due during radiotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to compare the oral inflammatory reduction effect caused from orthodontic treatment of anthocyanin and placebo mouthrinse.

Denture stomatitis (DS) is an oral biofilm associated inflammatory disease of the palatal mucosa. It is the most prevalent oral disease and the main indicator of poor oral health among denture wearers, affecting one-third of all complete denture wearers. The etiology of DS is multifactorial, with documented role of mechanical trauma, bacteria and fungi. Risk factors may include, poor oral hygiene and nocturnal use of dentures. However, the evidence is ambiguous, inconclusive and recurrence following routine antifungal therapy is common. The proposed study is a phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of palatal brushing in reducing the colony forming unit (CFU) count and clinical inflammation. The assessment of change in CFU count and clinical inflammation will be carried out at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.

The study aims to evaluate the effect of Quercetin (a natural flavonoid) on prevention of and treatment of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in patients with blood malignancies.

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.

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-stage trial in subjects with squamous cell cancers of the mouth, oropharynx, hypopharynx and nasopharynx planned to receive standard fractionated IMRT-delivered radiotherapy with concomitant chemotherapy (cisplatin). Informed consent will be obtained from each subject prior to enrollment. The trial will be performed in 2 stages: Stage 1 will consist of a blinded parallel group safety study of 4 cohorts in which 24 subjects will be randomized (1:1:1:1) into four equally sized groups to receive one of three doses of EC-18 (500 mg, 1000 mg, 2000 mg; unit dose of 500 mg) or placebo. Stage 2 of the study will evaluate both safety and efficacy. Stage 2 will consist of eighty (80) subjects who will be randomized in a 1:1 scheme to receive either placebo or 2000 mg of EC-18 as determined by iDSMB in Stage 1.

Primary herpetic gingivostomatitis is a frequent problem in pediatrics. Complications of this are dehydration, pain and hospitalisation. The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the clinical efficacy of oral Valacyclovir to decrease the duration of symptoms associated with acute herpes gingivostomatitis in children. This study will involve 80 children aged 1 to 8 years old to receive weight adjusted doses of valacyclovir for 7 days. The primary outcome measure will be the duration (in days) of feeding and/or drinking difficulties.
