A Phase II Controlled Trial of Velafermin for Prevention of Oral Mucositis

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: Stomatitis; Oral Mucositis
• Interventions: Drug: placebo; Drug: velafermin

• Registration Number: NCT00323518
• Lead Sponsor: CuraGen Corporation

Brief Summary

CG53135-05 (velafermin), a recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-20 (rhFGF-20) protein, is under investigation for the prevention of oral mucositis. Oral mucositis is a commonly occurring side effect of high-dose chemotherapy in patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The objective of this Phase II trial is to confirm the safety and efficacy of CG53135-05 (velafermin) when administered as a single dose to patients at risk for developing oral mucositis.
