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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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.

Summary

This study looked at saliva from 21 people: some with oral lichen planus, some with oral leukoplakia, and some healthy. The goal was to see if proteins in saliva are different between these groups. Researchers hope these protein differences could one day help doctors tell these two mouth conditions apart without a biopsy.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population consists of individuals diagnosed with Oral Lichen Planus (OLP), individuals diagnosed with Oral Leukoplakia (OL), and healthy volunteers without oral mucosal disease. Participants were recruited from patients presenting for clinical evaluation and routine care, and were assigned to one of three cohorts based on clinical examination and diagnosis. The control group included individuals with clinically normal oral mucosa and no history of oral mucosal pathology.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Saliva samples from patients diagnosed with either OLP or OL were included in the study group. * Saliva samples from individuals with no dermatological or systemic diseases and no lesions in the oral mucosa were included in the control group. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who were using corticosteroids or retinoids that could affect the mucosa either locally or systemically were excluded from the study. * Patients with hyposalivation or with any conditions or medications that could cause reduced salivary flow were also excluded from the study.
