NCT ID NCT07327216

Summary

This study is testing whether a medication called Sapylin, inhaled as a mist, works as well as the standard steroid dexamethasone to prevent and reduce severe mouth sores caused by combined chemotherapy and radiation for nasopharyngeal cancer. Researchers will enroll 180 patients to see if Sapylin helps patients complete their full cancer treatment by managing this painful side effect. The goal is to find a safe, effective way to improve quality of life during treatment.
