About this study
Study hypothesis: light therapy may prevent oral ulcers in bone marrow recipients.
Methods: patients will be treated with either active light-emitting device or inactive light-emitting device. Daily treatment with light therapy will start at the beginning of the conditioning regimen and will last until day 21 post-transplant. Each daily treatment last about 5 minutes. Patients will be evaluated for oral mucositis and oral pain level on a weekly basis.
Read the detailed description
Primary endpoint:
- Assessment of effectiveness of treatment with QRay1 in preventing oral mucositis in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Secondary endpoint:
- Assessment of mucositis associated- pain relief.
- Assessment of safety of treatment with QRay1 (oral adverse events).
- Assessment of the patients' acceptance of the device.
Study design:
Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 2 groups (randomization ratio 1:1).
Duration of treatment:
Daily treatment. Study-treatment administration began at the initiation of conditioning regimen (visit 1) and continued to day 28 or at least until day 21 if the patient had no mucositis (WHO or OMAS = "0")
Light radiation dose:
60-70mW/cm2 (administered over 3 treatment areas), starting with 45 seconds per surface, increasing each day in intervals of 15 seconds, up to a maximum of 90 seconds per surface.
Evaluation plan:
Evaluation began before the conditioning regimen was initiated (visit 1) and continued weekly until day 28 or until day 21 if the patient had no mucositis. A follow-up evaluation was performed a month after discharge the patient. Unusual clinical presentation was addressed whenever observed.
Criteria for evaluation:
Primary efficacy variable:
- Rate of absent of mucositis at any of the visits using WHO scale for mucositis and OMAS.
Secondary efficacy variables:
- Severity of oral mucositis at any of the visits using WHO scale for mucositis and OMAS.
- Severity of oral pain at any of the visits using WHO scale for mucositis and OMAS.
- Safety (oral adverse events)
- Patients' acceptance of the study drug on an 11-step ladder. Others
- Compliance with standard oral care (chlorhexidine rinse, nystatin readymix, saline mouthwash)
- Conditions
- Oral Mucosal Ulceration, Oral Mucositis, Oral Lesion
- Being tested
- phototherapy
- Medical subject headings
- Oral Ulcer, Stomatitis
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
phototherapyDevice
Also called QRay1
low level light therapy, broad band light wavelengths.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Active light therapy | Experimental | oral mucosa is exposed to a light source (broad band of wavelengths, 400-800 nm) Receives: Device: phototherapy |
| Inactive light therapy | Placebo comparator | Oral mucosa is exposed to a extremely low-intensity light which is assumed to have no effect. Receives: Device: phototherapy |

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.
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 3 Mar 2011; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
