Severe oral mucositis induced by allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is associated with intolerable pain and risk of systemic bacteremia infection. Differences between conventional HCT and reduced-intensity regimens for allogeneic HCT (RIST) may influence the occurrence and severity of oral mucositis. Here, we evaluated oral mucositis in patients undergoing RIST and compared the results with those in conventional allogeneic HCT patients to facilitate predictive measures for mucositis. A total of 127 consecutive patients undergoing HCT (conventional, 63; RIST, 64) were included in this study. Severity of oral mucositis during HCT period was evaluated daily. Differences in severity of mucositis among HCT types were analyzed. Use of morphine to control pain due to oral mucositis was evaluated in each HCT method. The severity of oral mucositis was reduced in patients undergoing RIST. Worsening of oral mucositis was delayed in patients receiving RIST. Use of morphine to control pain ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:. I. To determine if topically administered supersaturated calcium phosphate (Caphosol), rinsed orally four times daily at the initiation of conditioning for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), reduces oral mucositis as demonstrated by a decrease in duration of severe oral mucositis (World Health Organization [WHO] grade 3 or 4), compared to placebo.. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:. I. To determine whether Caphosol administration, when compared to placebo, reduces oral mucositis as demonstrated by a decrease in incidence of severe oral mucositis (WHO grade 3 or 4); severity of mucositis according to mouth pain categorical rating scale and Oral Mucositis Daily Questionnaire (OMDQ); incidence, total dose, and duration of parenteral opioid analgesic use (morphine equivalents); and incidence and duration of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) administration..

Method: A consecutive cohort of patients with advanced cancers and CIM were treated with mouth-rinse G-CSF. All chemotherapy for patients with advanced cancers was adopted from regimens suggested by NCCN guidelines. The mouth-rinse with G-CSF at a dose of 150-300ug plus 100ml-500ml normal saline was started from the time of oral mucositis was confirmed and continuously used for at least 7 days as one course. After at least two courses of treatment, safety and efficacy were evaluated. Results: There were 7 female and 7 male patients with advanced cancer and CIM recruited into this study, including 5 with colorectal, 2

Mice that produced the Smad7 protein in the oral cavity were dramatically more resistant to radiation-induced oral mucositis than were controls.

Palifermin (trade name Kepivance, marketed by Biovitrum) is a truncated human recombinant keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) produced in Escherichia coli. KGF stimulates the growth of cells that line the surface of the mouth and intestinal tract. When patients with blood cancers (leukemia and lymphoma) receive high dose chemotherapy and radiation therapy to undergo bone marrow transplantation, they usually get severe oral mucositis. Palifermin reduces the incidence and duration of severe oral mucositis by protecting those cells and stimulating the growth of new epithelial cells to build up the mucosal barrier. Palifermin is also being studied in the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) in other types of cancer. Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) resides in the family of fibroblast growth factor (FGF). The drugs target is the KGF receptor. Through the binding of this drug to the aforementioned receptor, Palifermin stimulates epithelial cell proliferation, ...

Recent preclinical and phase I studies have reported that rebamipide decreased the severity of chemoradiotherapy-induced oral mucositis in patients with oral cancer. This placebo-controlled randomized phase II study assessed the clinical benefit of rebamipide in reducing the incidence of severe chemoradiotherapy-induced oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Patients aged 20-75 years with HNC who were scheduled to receive chemoradiotherapy were enrolled. Patients were randomized to receive rebamipide 2% liquid, rebamipide 4% liquid, or placebo. The primary endpoint was the incidence of grade ≥ 3 oral mucositis determined by clinical examination and assessed by central review according to the Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events version 3.0. Secondary endpoints were the time to onset of grade ≥ 3 oral mucositis and the incidence of functional impairment (grade ≥ 3) based on the evaluation by the Oral Mucositis Evaluation Committee. From April 2014 to August 2015, 97

The synthetic dipeptide gamma-D-glutamyl-L-tryptophan (SCV-07) is able to enhance immune responses in preclinical anti-viral and vaccine models and is currently under clinical evaluation for attenuation of radiation-induced oral mucositis in HNSCC patients. We recently demonstrated that SCV-07 also has anti-tumor efficacy in various syngeneic and nude mouse xenograft models despite lack of direct inhibition of the tumor cell growth in standard proliferation assays. Based on these data, along with observations that SCV-07 enhances a Th1-type immune response in vivo and binds with high affinity to cells and membranes from mouse thymocytes and macrophages, we sought to explore the hypothesis that SCV-07 has anti-tumor activity through modulation of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. Towards this end we evaluated effects of SCV-07 on signal transduction and biological properties of T cells and macrophages in cell culture and in mouse tumor models.. Using phosphoprotein detection arrays ...

Manifestations range from a burning sensation to ulcer formation that affect the patients quality of life by producing pain and discomfort on swallowing, ultimately leading to malnutrition and dehydration. Due to complications arising from the use of chemical drugs, in recent decades, increasing attention has been paid to natural-based ...

ROCKVILLE, Maryland-The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Amgens Kepivance (pal-ifermin) for use in decreasing the incidence and duration of severe oral mucositis in hematologic cancer patients undergoing high-dose chemotherapy, with or without radiation, followed by bone marrow transplantation. The drugs labeling recommends its intravenous administration for 6 days, 3 days before and 3 days after myelotoxic therapy.

My current assessment would be WHO Grade 2, which means that I can still eat solid foods despite the presence of ulcers (see photo of the single ulcer on the side of my tongue). Recall that I started taking Caphosol® at the start of my chemoradiation treatment. This oral rinse has been shown to reduce the severity and duration of oral mucositis in a clinical study. The study design used a different oral mucositis scale devised by the National Institute of Dental andCraniofacial Research (NIDCR), which ranks oral mucositis on a 0-5 scale where I would presently be at Grade 2 (single ulcer ,1 cm). Results from the study demonstrated a peak Grade 1.38 for patients using Caphosol compared to Grade 2.41 for the placebo group. Accordingly, it will be interesting to see whether or not I develop additional ulcers or more severe oral mucositis to help determine the benefit of using Caphosol.. I received a progress report during my appointment with Dr. Nancy Lee, my radiation oncologist at Memorial ...

Oral Mucositis (OM) is the most common, debilitating complication of cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It is characterized by inflammation and ulceration in the oral cavity caused by the chemotherapeutic drug substances and radiotherapy used in cancer treatment. The symptoms appear after five to ten days after the chemotherapy treatment or 14 days after the start of radiotherapy. The early symptoms include erythema and light discoloration of the mucosa. As OM progresses, erosive lesions and ulcers are developed.. Mouth sores are extremely painful and are typically the most distressing manifestation. It has significant negative impact on patients quality of life (QOL). Potential complications of OM include pain, increased risk of local and systemic infections, bleeding, insufficient food intake, and delays in administration of radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, dose reduction of the chemotherapy drugs, increased length of hospital stays, associated economic burdens and in some cases ...

In addition to ischemic and chronic wound healing, we have recently begun using NASA LEDs to promote healing of acute oral lesions in pediatric leukemia patients. As a final life-saving effort, leukemia patients are given healthy bone marrow from an HLA-matched donor. Prior to the transplant, the patient is given a lethal dose of chemo and radiation therapy in order to destroy their own, cancerous, bone marrow. Because many chemotherapeutic drugs as well as radiation therapy kill all rapidly dividing cells indiscriminately, the mucosal linings of the mouth and gastrointestinal tract are often damaged during the treatment. As a result of these GI effects, patients often develop ulcers in their mouths (oral mucositis), and suffer from nausea and diarrhea. Oral mucositis is a significant risk for this population as it can impair the ability to eat and drink, and poses a risk for infection in this immunocompromized patient. Because lasers have been shown to speed healing of oral mucositis (Barasch, ...

Mucositis is the painful inflammation and ulceration of the mucous membranes lining the digestive tract, usually as an adverse effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment for cancer. Mucositis can occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, but oral mucositis refers to the particular inflammation and ulceration that occurs in the mouth. Oral mucositis is a common and often debilitating complication of cancer treatment. Oral and gastrointestinal (GI) mucositis affects almost all patients undergoing high-dose chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), 80% of patients with malignancies of the head and neck receiving radiotherapy, and a wide range of patients receiving chemotherapy. Alimentary tract mucositis increases mortality and morbidity and contributes to rising health care costs. For most cancer treatment, about 5-15% of patients get mucositis. However, with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), up to 40% get mucositis, and 10-15% get grade 3-4 oral mucositis. ...

The painful oral mucositis does not have any cure and has to be endured by patients. But according to a new study by Mayo Clinic, an oral rinse with anti- depressant doxepin can actually help alleviate the oral mucositis pain. The findings of this study were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology at Boston. According to Robert Miller, M. D and principal investigator, the new findings will help to raise the bar for treatment of radiation side effects. Other researchers involved with the study included Rui Qin Ph. D, James Martenson, M.D, Robert Foote, M. D and Charles Loprinzi, M. D.. Dr. Miller observes that rinsing with doxepin does not cause side effects which are usually associated with narcotic pain medication. The effectiveness of doxepin oral rinse was studied in comparison to placebo in 155 patients who were suffering from cancer and had thus received radiation therapy. A single blinded dose of doxepin on day one was administered to patients, and on ...

The following table summarizes the outcomes of various clinical studies on the effect of oral cryotherapy on occurrence of cancer chemotherapy-associated mucositis. The studies include individual clinical studies with small patient cohorts, randomized clinical trials, and meta-analysis of clinical studies. Cancer types in which oral cryotherapy was evaluated span a range of solid tumors including lung, gastrointestinal, other epithelial cancers, as well as haematological cancers. Chemotherapy modalities evaluated include Leucovorin/5-Fluorouracil, Etoposide, Platinol, Mitomycin, Vinblastin, Edatrexate, and Melphalan, in addition to stem cell transplantation in the case of hematologic cancers.. The majority of studies report a convincing evidence level (I, II, or III) supporting the use of oral cryotherapy (in the form of ice chips, flakes, cubes, or balls) to prevent oral mucositis in patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy. A range of treatments to address this problem have been attempted, ...

[Side-effects are critical challenges in cancer therapy. These complications can threaten the quality of life, sometimes the life itself. One of the most frequent side effects is mucositis, the damage of mucosa, either in the oral cavity (oral mucositis, OM), or in the gastrointestinal tract (gastrointestinal mucositis, GIM). Prevention is a key action for the effi cient supportation. Recognition of OM is relative easy, but of GIM is rather diffi cult. The risk factors could come from the patients and/or can be caused by the therapy. The successful management of mucositis mostly depends on the cooperation of the patient, which is highly infl uenced by the success of care (e.g. decreasing the level of pain). In general, mucositis (especially oral mucositis) a well managable disease, burt more informations are required to increase the quality of prevention and therapy. Such expectation could be realized by specifi c and sensitive biomarkers, however, they are still missing]

Background/Aim: In order to produce an animal model for oral mucositis induced by anticancer drugs, it is necessary to maintain an immunosuppressive state. We determined the optimal dose and frequency of 5-fluorouracil for a model mouse production. In addition, we used this model to investigate the effect of GGsTop® gelation on the therapeutic effect of oral mucositis. Materials and Methods: Changes in body weight and white blood cell count were measured to determine the optimal dosing schedule. The therapeutic effect of GGsTop® gel using chitosan was evaluated by observing changes in the ulcer area for three weeks and measuring collagen and glutathione concentrations in oral mucosal tissue. Results: The optimal dose and frequency of 5-fluorouracil were found to be 50 mg/kg every four days. It was revealed that the therapeutic effect of GGsTop® was enhanced by gelation. Conclusion: GGsTop® gel is suggested to be a promising formulation for the treatment of oral mucositis. ...

The symptoms of oral mucositis usually begin five to 10 days after starting chemotherapy, or 14 days after starting radiotherapy.. The tissue inside your mouth will start to feel sore, as if you have been burnt by eating hot food. Its also likely you will develop white patches or ulcers on the lining of your mouth and, in some cases, on your tongue and around your lips.. These ulcers may become very painful and may make it difficult for you to eat, drink or talk. You may also have a dry mouth and a reduced sense of taste. These changes in your mouth can make it more difficult to speak. Relatives and friends may notice your breath smells bad (halitosis).. Milder symptoms of oral mucositis should ease three to four weeks after your course of chemotherapy or radiotherapy has finished. More severe cases will usually require hospital treatment for monitoring and nutritional support.. ...

Cancer treatments often result in oral complications such as mucositis, but conflicting literature exists about best nursing practice for such complications.1 Furthermore, little is known about how patients experience mucositis and how it affects their quality of life, especially over a longer period.. Borbasi et al chose patients who were having intensive cytotoxic treatment associated with autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and therefore reflect a patient group expected to experience severe mucositis. Oral problems are known to develop 2-3 times more often in patients with haematological malignancies than in patients with solid tumours.1 A study by McGuire et al showed that 89% of 47 patients who received bone marrow transplantation developed mucositis,2 which was resolved by 21 days after transplantation. They found that, on average, mucositis began 3 days after transplantation, lasted 9.5 days, and was resolved in 12.6 days.. In light of these earlier findings, the study by ...
