Study to Determine the Effects Treatment With Amlexanox 0.5% Oral Rinse Solution on Oral Mucositis Associated With Radiation Therapy for Cancer of the Head and Neck Region
A Double-blind, Randomized, Vehicle-controlled Phase II Study to Determine the Effects of Concomitant Treatment With Amlexanox 0.5% Oral Rinse Solution on Oral Mucositis Associated With Radiation Therapy for Cancer of the Head and Neck Region
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of 0.5% amlexanox oral rinse compared to a vehicle control on mucositis-related ulceration and erythema (objective score)and on mucositis-related oral pain (subjective score).
A secondary objective was to evaluate the safety of 0.5% amlexanox oral rinse by determining the frequency of treatment-emergent drug-related adverse events or clinical laboratory abnormalities.

Participation Criteria
Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Genders Eligible for Study
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient is 18 years of age or older;
- Patient has a histologically documented diagnosis of cancer of the head and neck region;
- Patient is about to receive a course of radiation therapy (with or without concomitant chemotherapy) with a planned dose of at least 60 Gy over 6-7 weeks, and with planned fields to involve at least 50% of the oral mucosa;
This criterion was amended (Amendment 01 dated August 28, 2000) to read as follows:
3. Amended: Patient is at a high risk of developing radiation-induced mucositis. For the purpose of this study, high-risk patients will be defined as:
- patients about to receive a course of radiation therapy (with or without concomitant chemotherapy) with a planned dose of at least 60 Gy over 6-7 weeks, and
with planned fields to involve at least 40% of the oral and oropharyngeal mucosa visible by direct inspection;
4. Patient has a Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) score of 60% or more;
5. Patient is willing and able to cooperate with the protocol including rinsing of the oral cavity with the investigational or vehicle oral rinse 6 times per day.
6. The patient or guardian is capable of providing informed consent.
7. If female, the subject has undergone a urine pregnancy test with negative results, and has agreed to practice effective methods of contraception for the duration of the study.
Exclusion criteria
- Patient has had previous radiation therapy to the oral mucosa;
- Patient is about to receive hyperfractionated radiation therapy;
- Patient has active oral H. simplex lesions, oral candidiasis, or oral mucositis due to other disease processes;
- Patient has uncontrolled infection;
- Patient has HIV, Hepatitis B (HBV) (as measured by HBs-Ag) or Hepatitis C (HCV) infection;
- Patient has not recovered from oral toxicity attributable to prior treatment;
Patient has abnormal laboratory values that meet the following criteria:
- Serum creatinine greater than 2 x upper limit of normal
- Total bilirubin greater than 3 x upper limit of normal;
- SGOT greater than 3 x upper limit of normal;
- LDH greater than 3 x upper limit of normal;
- Patient has known sensitivities to any of the study preparation ingredients;
- Patient has participated in a clinical research study within the last 30 days prior to enrollment;
- Patient is unable to communicate or cooperate with the investigator due to language problems, poor mental development, or other reasons.

EXPERIMENTAL: 0.5% amlexanox oral rinse
Patients treated with an oral rinse containing the active 0.5% amlexanox

0.5% amlexanox oral rinse; use 5 ml every 2-3 hours during the awake hours of each day (a minimum of 6 times each day).
The liquid was be swirled around the mouth then to be swallowed.
Repeated daily until completion of radiation therapy: approximately 7-8 weeks.
