NCT ID NCT05820711

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether injecting a person's own bone marrow stem cells into their salivary glands can safely reduce dry mouth caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. About 23 adults who finished radiation at least 2 years ago and have no active cancer will take part. The main goal is to check safety and find the best dose, while also tracking quality of life and symptom changes.
