Sponsored by: Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group
Information provided by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00349024
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Polyvinylpyrrolidone-sodium hyaluronate gel may lessen the pain of oral mucositis, or mouth sores, in patients undergoing treatment for cancer.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well polyvinylpyrrolidone-sodium hyaluronate gel works in reducing pain from oral mucositis in young patients with cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Timing and intensity of oral pain
  • Duration of action of polyvinylpyrrolidone-sodium hyaluronate gel
  • Acceptability, effectiveness, and adherence to regimens including polyvinylpyrrolidone-sodium hyaluronate gel
  • Symptoms, other than pain, considered important to the pediatric population

Estimated Enrollment: 50
Study Start Date: July 2005
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

  • Examine the feasibility and acceptability of polyvinylpyrrolidone-sodium hyaluronate gel in pediatric patients experiencing oral pain from mucositis after cancer therapy.

OUTLINE: This is a prospective, uncontrolled, open-label, pilot, multicenter study.

Beginning before hospital discharge or day 3 after chemotherapy, patients use oral polyvinylpyrrolidone-sodium hyaluronate gel mouth rinse for at least 1 minute, 3 times per day or as needed. Treatment continues for 48 hours. Patients with persistent oral pain may continue treatment with polyvinylpyrrolidone-sodium hyaluronate gel beyond 48 hours.

Oral pain and acceptability (i.e., taste) of polyvinylpyrrolidone-sodium hyaluronate gel are assessed periodically using self-reported rating scales.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 50 patients will be accrued for this study.
