Study Overview
Brief Summary
Study hypothesis: light therapy may prevent oral ulcers in bone marrow recipients.
Methods: patients will be treated with either active light-emitting device or inactive light-emitting device. Daily treatment with light therapy will start at the beginning of the conditioning regimen and will last until day 21 post-transplant. Each daily treatment last about 5 minutes. Patients will be evaluated for oral mucositis and oral pain level on a weekly basis.
Detailed Description
Primary endpoint:
o Assessment of effectiveness of treatment with QRay1 in preventing oral mucositis in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Secondary endpoint:
- Assessment of mucositis associated- pain relief.
- Assessment of safety of treatment with QRay1 (oral adverse events).
- Assessment of the patients' acceptance of the device.
