About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Healing of Chemotherapy-Induced Oral Mucositis Using Oral Defense Toothpaste Versus Crest Toothpaste and Magic Mouth Rinse

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Oral Defense Toothpaste causes accelerated healing of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis.

Read the detailed description

A pilot study showed that patients with chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis experienced accelerated healing of their oral mucositis by brushing with Oral Defense Toothpaste.

In this study, participants experiencing up to grade 2 chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis will be split into two arms. The first arm (test arm) will receive Oral Defense Toothpaste and be required to brush three times per day, for 8 days. The second arm (control arm) will receive Crest Toothpaste and be required to brush three times per day, for 8 days. Patients in the control arm will be provided Magic Mouth Rinse, if needed. Healing of oral mucositis lesions will be evaluated at days 1 and 8. Quality of life assessment (determination of pain/loss of oral function) will be determined using a daily questionnaire.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Oral mucositis changes

    The primary measure is the healing of chemotherapy induced oral mucositis lesions which are evaluated at days 1 and 8 of the study. The clinical investigators will identify patients who qualify for the study and this will mark day 1 of the study. At days 1 and 8 of the study, the clinical investigators will evaluate the oral cavity of each study participant and document changes in the oral mucositis of the participants.

    Measured: Day 1 and 8 of the study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quality of life changes

    Each participant will fill out a quality of life questionnaire every day of the study. An evaluated outcome is when their chemotherapy induced oral mucositis lesions have resolved and their quality of life has returned to pre-chemotherapy levels.

    Measured: 8 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Oral Defense Toothpaste, Crest Toothpaste and Magic Mouth Rinse in people with Mucositis and Neoplasms, run by Oral Defense, LLC at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Oral mucositis changes (time frame: Day 1 and 8 of the study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Feb 2019.
