About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Pilot Study of Serum-Derived Bovine Immunoglobulin/Protein Isolate to Manage Mucositis in Patients Undergoing Treatment for Head, Neck, or Lung Cancer

The purpose of this cancer control clinical research study is to evaluate whether nutritional therapy with Serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin/protein isolate (SBI) might reduce mucositis (a condition caused by cancer treatment involving mouth sores, pain and/or bleeding that may cause difficulty eating), improve nutritional status and lessen the symptoms associated with chemo-radiation therapy which may result in quality of life (QOL) improvements during the prescribed treatment for cancer therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Development of Oral Mucositis during ChemoRadiation Treatment

    CTCAE version 5 will be used to determine adverse event grade of mucositis, if applicable

    Measured: Baseline and Up to approximately 90 days after randomization

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Development of Dysphagia during ChemoRadiation Treatment

    CTCAE version 5 will be used to determine advent grade of dysphagia, if applicable

    Measured: Baseline and Up to approximately 90 days after randomization

  2. Change in Bowel Movements

    Stool Diary Card will be completed by patient to document consistency, ease and completeness

    Measured: Baseline and Up to approximately 90 days after randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SBI in people with Mucositis, run by MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center 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 7 inclusion and 10 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 26 Jan 2023. 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: Recruitment slower than anticipated). 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?

Development of Oral Mucositis during ChemoRadiation Treatment (time frame: Baseline and Up to approximately 90 days after randomization). 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 26 Jan 2023.
