First seen Mar 14, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study tests two non-invasive treatments for oral leukoplakia, a white patch in the mouth that can turn into cancer. One treatment uses a light-activated dye (photodynamic therapy), and the other uses a vitamin D-based cream (calcipotriol). About 166 adults with oral leukoplakia will receive one of these treatments for 4 weeks, and doctors will check if the patches shrink or disappear, and monitor for side effects and recurrence.
