Summary
This study tests a single dose of gene therapy injected into a saliva gland to see if it can safely increase saliva production in people with dry mouth from past head and neck cancer radiation. About 17 adults will take part, and they will be followed for three years. The main goal is to check safety, but researchers will also look for signs that the treatment helps with dry mouth.
