Oral Mucositis Management in Patients Receiving Radiation for Head and Neck Cancer: An Evaluation of a Barrier Based Treatment (TOPHAT)
2026年7月8日 更新者:McMaster University
A Prospective Feasibility Cohort Trial of Oral Mucositis Management in Patients Receiving Radiation for Head and Neck Cancer: An Evaluation of a Barrier-based Treatment (Gelclair)
Patients who are undergoing radiation therapy on their head and/or neck, are highly likely to experience oral mucositis, which is inflammation and irritation of the mucus membranes in your mouth.
This inflammation leads to difficulty eating and drinking normally as it becomes painful to do so.
Currently, the Juravinski Cancer Centre (JCC) uses a standard mouth rinse to try and help prevent inflammation/soothe the pain of inflammation caused by radiation treatments, however, better options may exist.
Biosyent's Gelclair is a widely available, safe-to-use mouth rinse that aims to create a protective coating on your mucus membranes to help reduce inflammation and discomfort during your radiation treatment.
We aim to see if this product provides a more positive experience for patients then the current mouth rinse utilized by the JCC.
研究概览
详细说明
The current magic mouthwash being utilized at the JCC for standard of care for Heck and Neck Radiation patients has been shown to not be anymore effective than other standard sulcate-tantum mouthwashes in preventing discomfort or reducing the requirement of needing a feeding tube for sustenance during radiation treatments.
More recently two mucoadhesive topical coating agents have been approved in Canada for this population of patients, Gengigel and Gelclair.
These agents adhere to the mucosa and potentially improve efficacy of the therapeutic agent due to rapid absorption and easy application.
A recent systematic review of bioadhesives for the treatment of RIOM found statistically significant decrease in severe oral mucositis.
We aim to determine if patients tolerate gelclair use, and to determine their use of and satisfaction with gelclair.
This will inform the need for a large national RCT on Gelclair use.
