Caphosol® Versus State-of-the-art Mouthcare in Patients With Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation: a Randomized Controlled Study About the Efficacy of the Mouth Rinse Caphosol®

August 14, 2014 updated by: University of Zurich

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).
