Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
