What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tests an oral spray made from stem cell exosomes to prevent severe mouth sores in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiation. 200 participants will use the spray three times daily, starting a week before radiation and continuing for two weeks after. The goal is to see if it reduces the number of patients who develop painful, high-grade mouth ulcers.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new way to prevent painful mouth sores caused by radiation therapy, improving quality of life for head and neck cancer patients.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 2 trial, so it is still early. The treatment may not reduce severe mouth sores more than standard care, and side effects from the exosome spray are not yet fully known.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed malignant tumor of the head and neck; 2. Age 18-75 years; 3. Scheduled to receive radical radiotherapy with a total planned dose of ≥60 Gy, with radiation fields including the oral cavity and/or oropharynx; 4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0-2 and a life expectancy of ≥6 months. 5. White blood cell≥3.0×10\^9/L, hemoglobin≥ 90 g/L, platelet (PLT)≥ 100x10\^9/ L 6. Transaminases≤2.5 times the upper limit of normal, total bilirubin ≤1.5 times the upper limit of normal; 7. Serum creatinine ≤1.5 × ULN or creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min; 8. Cardiac: Electrocardiogram (ECG) without clinically significant abnormalities; 9. Intact oral mucosa before initiation of radiotherapy. Absence of active oral infections or severe periodontal disease before initiation of radiotherapy; 10. Signed informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Previous radiotherapy to the head and neck region; 2. Head and neck surgery within the preceding 4 weeks; 3. Current participation in another clinical trial, or participation in another interventional study within the past 4 weeks; 4. Significant cardiovascular disease, including unstable angina, myocardial infarction within the past 6 months, severe arrhythmia, or heart failure (NYHA Class III-IV); 5. Severe hepatic or renal dysfunction, such as cirrhosis or chronic renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance \<30 mL/min); 6. Active systemic infection requiring antimicrobial therapy; 7. Autoimmune diseases (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis) requiring ongoing immunosuppressive treatment; 8. Severe psychiatric disorders that may impair the ability to provide informed consent or adhere to the study protocol; 9. Using other oral mucosal protective agents or anti-inflammatory medications that cannot be discontinued. Long-term use of immunosuppressants or corticosteroids at a prednisone-equivalent dose \>10 mg/day; 10. Individuals unable to comprehend the study requirements or comply with study procedures; 11. Any other condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, would render the patient unsuitable for participation in the study.
