About this study

Randomized controlled study about the efficacy of the mouth rinse Caphosol in patients with allogeneic stem cell transplantation. 85% of the patients receive a severe oral mucositis due to their treatment.

70 patients will be randomized in the intervention (Caphosol) or in the standard (state-of-the-art) group. Primary endpoint is the duration of the mucositis, secondary endpoints are the occurence of oral mucositis measured with the WHO-scale and the occurence of pain measured with the NRS-scale (Numeric Rating Scale).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Caphosol in people with Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation, run by University of Zurich at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2014. 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 Switzerland. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Duration of oral mucositis (time frame: 20-30 days). 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 15 Aug 2014.
