Ozone Therapy for Cancer Therapy-Related Oral Mucositis (OMUC-O3)

4. Juni 2026 aktualisiert von: Andrea Scribante, University of Pavia

Retrospective Evaluation of Combined Chairside and Domiciliary Ozone Therapy for the Management of Cancer Therapy-Related Oral Mucositis

This retrospective observational study will evaluate clinical data already available from adult cancer patients who developed cancer therapy-related oral mucositis during radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy and who were managed in routine clinical practice with combined chairside and domiciliary ozone therapy.

The study will not assign participants to any treatment and will not involve any new intervention, visit, examination, or change in patient care. Data will be extracted from existing medical records and clinical documentation.

The main purpose of the study is to describe the clinical course of oral mucositis and to evaluate the time needed to reach oral mucositis grade 1 or lower according to the World Health Organization Oral Toxicity Scale. The study will also assess changes in oral pain intensity, measured using a 0 to 10 Visual Analogue Scale, from baseline to follow-up visits up to 15 days.

Exploratory analyses will compare clinical trends between patients with head and neck cancers and patients with cancers in other anatomical sites. The results will be interpreted as descriptive and exploratory because the study is retrospective, single-arm, and has no control group.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Oral mucositis is a clinically relevant complication of anticancer treatments, especially radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It can cause erythema, ulcerations, oral pain, dysphagia, impaired oral intake, and reduced quality of life. In routine clinical practice, selected patients with cancer therapy-related oral mucositis were managed with a combined ozone-based protocol including professional chairside ozone application and domiciliary ozonized oral care products.

This study is designed as a retrospective observational analysis of data already available from medical records and clinical documentation. No prospective enrollment, treatment allocation, randomization, study-specific intervention, biological sampling, imaging, or additional clinical visit will be performed.

The study will include adult oncological patients with documented cancer therapy-related oral mucositis grade 1 or higher according to the World Health Organization Oral Toxicity Scale. Available data will include demographic and clinical information, oncological disease site, oral mucositis severity, and oral pain intensity measured using a 0 to 10 Visual Analogue Scale.

The retrospective observation period includes clinical data collected during routine care between November 2023 and September 2025. Outcome data will be analyzed from baseline to available follow-up visits up to 15 days. Additional exploratory analyses will describe clinical trends according to cancer site, comparing patients with head and neck cancers with patients with malignancies in other anatomical sites.

The findings will be interpreted as descriptive and exploratory, because the study is retrospective, single-arm, and does not include a control group.

Studienpopulation

Adult oncological patients with cancer therapy-related oral mucositis whose clinical data are already available in medical records and/or clinical documentation. Patients were previously managed in routine clinical practice for oral mucositis occurring during radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. The study population includes patients with documented oral mucositis grade 1 or higher according to the World Health Organization Oral Toxicity Scale and available baseline and follow-up assessments of oral mucositis severity and oral pain intensity. No prospective enrollment, treatment assignment, or study-specific intervention will be performed.

Intervention / Behandlung
Cancer Therapy-Related Oral Mucositis Cohort
Adult oncological patients with documented cancer therapy-related oral mucositis grade 1 or higher according to the World Health Organization Oral Toxicity Scale. Patients were previously managed in routine clinical practice with a combined ozone-based protocol including professional chairside ozone application and domiciliary ozonized oral care products. This is a retrospective observational cohort; no treatment assignment, randomization, or study-specific intervention will be performed.
Adult oncological patients with cancer therapy-related oral mucositis were previously managed in routine clinical practice with a combined ozone-based oral care protocol. The protocol included professional chairside ozone application to oral mucosal lesions using an ozone device with a mucosa-specific probe, followed by domiciliary use of ozonized oral care products, including ozonized hydrogel, toothpaste, and mouthwash, according to routine clinical instructions. In this retrospective observational study, no intervention will be assigned or performed for research purposes, and no change to patient management is planned.

Zeitfenster
Time to Achieve Oral Mucositis Grade 1 or Lower
Zeitfenster: At baseline before ozone therapy (T0), immediately after the first professional ozone application (T1), 48 hours after T1 (T2), 5 days after T1 (T3), 8 days after T1 (T4), 12 days after T1 (T5), and 15 days after T1 (T6)
Time, expressed in days, required to achieve oral mucositis grade 1 or lower according to the World Health Organization Oral Toxicity Scale. The outcome will be assessed retrospectively using clinical data already available from medical records and clinical documentation. Patients who did not reach WHO grade 1 or lower by the last available follow-up will be censored at their last valid assessment.
