The Efficacy of Oral Cryotherapy in Preventing TROP2-ADC-Induced Oral Mucositis in Patients With Advanced Breast Cancer

April 11, 2025 updated by: Henan Cancer Hospital

The Efficacy of Oral Cryotherapy in Preventing TROP2-ADC-Induced Oral Mucositis in Patients With Advanced Breast Cancer: A Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Clinical Study

The incidence of oral mucositis associated with TROP2-ADC therapy in patients with advanced breast cancer is notably high. Identifying effective preventive and therapeutic strategies is essential for enhancing patient quality of life and optimizing treatment outcomes. Oral cryotherapy has been demonstrated to be efficacious in mitigating oral mucositis induced by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Consequently, this study seeks to investigate the potential preventive efficacy of oral cryotherapy on TROP2-ADC-induced oral mucositis in patients with advanced breast cancer

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Participants voluntarily enrolled in the study, signed the informed consent form, and demonstrated good compliance.
  2. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of informed consent signing.
  3. Patients with locally advanced or recurrent/metastatic breast cancer receiving TROP2-ADC treatment for the first time.
  4. ECOG PS: 0-2 points;
  5. The expected survival time was more than 3 months;

  6. Adequate organ and bone marrow function, with no transfusions or treatments with recombinant human thrombopoietin or colony-stimulating factors within 1 week before the first dose, is defined as follows:

    1. Blood routine: Neutrophil count (NEUT#) ≥ 1.5×109/L; Platelet (PLT) ≥ 75×109/L; Hemoglobin ≥ 90g/L
    2. Liver function: AST and ALT ≤ 3 × ULN; for patients with liver metastasis, AST and ALT ≤ 5 × ULN.
    3. Renal function: Creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or Ccr ≥ 60 ml/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula provided).
    4. Cardiac function: LVEF ≥ 50% by ECHO or MUGA scan.
  7. Patients with a negative pregnancy test and reproductive potential must agree to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment and for at least 3 months after the last dose of the investigational drug.
  8. Voluntary participants who sign informed consent, demonstrate good compliance, and agree to follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Prior TROP2-targeted treatment was administered.
  2. Patients with active oral mucositis or oral ulcers were excluded.
  3. Patients with serious concomitant diseases, as judged by researchers, that threaten safety or impede study completion, including uncontrolled hypertension, severe diabetes, and active infections, were excluded.
  4. Other conditions where the investigator determines the patient is unsuitable for study participation.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Oral cryotherapy
Other: Oral cryotherapy
Patients randomly assigned to the experimental group underwent TROP2-ADC treatment. They continuously held ice cubes and ice water from 15 minutes before the infusion, throughout the infusion process, and for 15 minutes after the infusion. Ice cubes were promptly replaced with fresh ones as they melted. Patients were instructed not to consume any food or liquids orally for 1 hour following the completion of the ice therapy.
Other: Routine oral care
Other: Routine oral care
Patients in the control group did not receive oral cryotherapy during the TROP2-ADC infusion but only received routine oral care.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The incidence and severity of oral mucositis within 8 weeks (scored according to the CECAE 5.0 standard)
Time Frame: From the start of TROP2-ADC treatment to the 8th week
The incidence and severity of oral mucositis at week 8
From the start of TROP2-ADC treatment to the 8th week

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The incidence and severity of oral mucositis at week 12 and week 24
Time Frame: From the start of TROP2-ADC treatment to the 12th and 24th week
