Sweet solution? Gum-Sugar wipes aim to shield sick kids from deadly infections
NCT ID NCT07022678
Summary
This study is testing whether special dental wipes containing xylitol, a natural sugar, can prevent serious bloodstream infections in children and young adults being treated for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Chemotherapy weakens the immune system, making patients vulnerable to infections that can start in the mouth. Researchers will compare infection rates in about 556 participants who use either xylitol wipes or identical wipes without xylitol twice daily during their treatment.
