Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DentoxolExperimentalDentoxol® is a proprietary mouthrinse that has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and analgesic effects. Subjects will use Dentoxol® mouthrinse 5 times each day, starting on the first day of radiation therapy and ending on the last day of radiation therapy.
Receives: Device: Dentoxol
PlaceboPlacebo comparatorThe placebo rinse will be identical in color, taste and consistency as the Dentoxol rinse and will be packaged in identical bottles with the same labels. Subjects will use placebo mouthrinse 5 times each day, starting on the first day of radiation therapy and ending on the last day of radiation therapy.
Receives: Device: Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of severe oral mucositis, defined as grade 3 or 4 on the World Health Organization (WHO) scale

    Measured: First day of radiation therapy through last day of radiation therapy (5-8 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Duration of and time to onset of severe oral mucositis, defined as grade 3 or 4 on the World Health Organization (WHO) scale.

    Measured: First day of radiation therapy through last day of radiation therapy (5-8 weeks)

  2. Mouth pain scores, as measured in the Oral Mucositis Daily Questionnaire (OMDQ).

    Measured: First day of radiation therapy through last day of radiation therapy (5-8 weeks)

  3. Ability to eat, drink, and swallow, as measured in the Oral Mucositis Daily Questionnaire (OMDQ).

    Measured: First day of radiation therapy through last day of radiation therapy (5-8 weeks)

  4. Weight loss, as measured by the difference between weight on first and last day of radiation therapy.

    Measured: First day of radiation therapy through last day of radiation therapy (5-8 weeks)

  5. Use of opioid analgesics for oral mucositis pain, as expressed in morphine equivalents.

    Measured: First day of radiation therapy through last day of radiation therapy (5-8 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dentoxol in people with Oral Mucositis, run by Ingalfarma SpA at 3 sites in Chile.

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Chile. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Incidence of severe oral mucositis, defined as grade 3 or 4 on the World Health Organization (WHO) scale (time frame: First day of radiation therapy through last day of radiation therapy (5-8 weeks)). 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 21 Dec 2018.
