Could your own bone marrow cells fix Radiation-Induced dry mouth?
NCT ID NCT05820711
Summary
This early-stage study is testing whether injecting a person's own bone marrow stem cells into their salivary glands is safe and might help relieve severe, persistent dry mouth caused by radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. Up to 23 participants who are at least 2 years past their cancer treatment will have their bone marrow collected, receive the cell injections, and be monitored for side effects and changes in saliva production and quality of life for about 2.5 years. The main goal is to find a safe dose for future studies, not to cure the condition.
