About this study

Official title: Non Interventional Clinical Investigation of Ectoin® Mouth Wash for the Prevention and Treatment of Chemotherapy-induced Oral Mucositis

This is a 3-week, non-interventional, observational study of patients undergoing chemotherapy (sutent) designed as a three-arm parallel study. In this study, the efficacy of Ectoin containing mouthwash given prophylactically for the prevention of mucositis in patients before radio- and/or chemotherapy; as well as during radio- and/or chemotherapy for patients with mucositis compared to standard treatment should be investigated. The study doesn't intervene with routine treatment strategy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02816515
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Ectoin® mouth washThe treatment will be started on the first day of radio- and/or chemotherapy, before development of mucositis
Ectoin mouth washThe treatment will be started after oral mucositis development in patients receiving radio- and/or chemotherapy
Supersaturated electrolyte mouth rinseThe treatment will be started after oral mucositis development in patients receiving radio and/or chemotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in severity of oral mucositis as assessed by a visual examination and asking the patient about pain and discomfort

    A trained clinical member of the team scores the degree of oral mucositis, in accordance to the World Health Organization (WHO) mucositis scale as follow: grade 0, no signs or symptoms; grade 1, oral soreness and erythema; grade 2, oral erythema, ulcers and solid diet tolerated; grade 3, oral ulcers and liquid diet only; grade 4, oral alimentation impossible

    Measured: Visit 1(day 0), Visit 2(after 7 days), Visit 3 (after 14 days) and Visit 4 (after 21 days)

  2. Tolerability assessment of Ectoin Mouth Wash by using a subsequent patient questionnaire in the prevention and suppression of the severity of oral mucositis induced by radio- and/or chemotherapy.

    Measured: day 21

  3. Change in evaluation of pain on swallowing by using a patient-reported oral mucositis experience questionaire

    A patient-reported oral mucositis symptom score scale will be assessed to determine the severity of the symptom pain on swallowing over time on a 4-category scale ranging from 1 (none) to 4 (severe).

    Measured: Visit 1(day 0), Visit 2(after 7 days), Visit 3 (after 14 days) and Visit 4 (after 21 days)

  4. Change in evaluation of dry mucosa

    A patient-reported oral mucositis symptom score scale will be assessed to determine the severity of the symptom dry mucosa over time on a 4-category scale ranging from 1 (none) to 4 (severe).

    Measured: Visit 1(day 0), Visit 2(after 7 days), Visit 3 (after 14 days) and Visit 4 (after 21 days)

  5. Change in decreased saliva release

    A patient-reported oral mucositis symptom score scale will be assessed to determine the severity of the symptom decreased saliva release over time on a 4-category scale ranging from 1 (none) to 4 (severe).

    Measured: Visit 1(day 0), Visit 2(after 7 days), Visit 3 (after 14 days) and Visit 4 (after 21 days)

  6. Change in Irritation of mucosa

    A patient-reported oral mucositis symptom score scale will be assessed to determine the severity of the symptom irritation of mucosa over time on a 4-category scale ranging from 1 (none) to 4 (severe).

    Measured: Visit 1(day 0), Visit 2(after 7 days), Visit 3 (after 14 days) and Visit 4 (after 21 days)

  7. Change in swelling

    A patient-reported oral mucositis symptom score scale will be assessed to determine the severity of the symptom swelling over time on a 4-category scale ranging from 1 (none) to 4 (severe).

    Measured: Visit 1(day 0), Visit 2(after 7 days), Visit 3 (after 14 days) and Visit 4 (after 21 days)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by the Suspect Adverse Reaction Report Form (CIOMS Form I).

    Measured: within 21 days after starting chemotherapy

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?

Change in severity of oral mucositis as assessed by a visual examination and asking the patient about pain and discomfort (time frame: Visit 1(day 0), Visit 2(after 7 days), Visit 3 (after 14 days) and Visit 4 (after 21 days)). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02816515, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
