简要总结
RATIONALE: Lactobacillus bevis CD2 lozenge may help prevent symptoms of mucositis, or mouth sores, in patients receiving radiation therapy and chemotherapy. This therapy may improve the quality of life of patients with head and neck cancer.
PURPOSE: This phase III trial studies how well Lactobacillus bevis CD2 lozenge prevents oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer who are being treated with cisplatin and radiation therapy. These results will be compared to results in patients using placebo lozenges.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To determine whether Lactobacillus brevis CD2 lozenges are effective in reducing oral mucositis (OM)-related pain in patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, as measured by the area under the curve (AUC) of Mouth and Throat Soreness (MTS) score (Oral Mucositis Daily Questionnaire [OMDQ] question 2) measured daily during CRT and daily for 4 weeks after completion of CRT.
Secondary
- To assess whether L. brevis CD2 lozenges reduce OM as assessed by the provider using the WHO OM scale, Oral Mucositis Assessment Scale (OMAS), and Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events (CTCAE).
- To assess whether L. brevis CD2 lozenges reduce the impact of OM on the ability to swallow, drink, eat, talk, and sleep, as assessed by the MTS-Activity Limitations (MTS-AL).
- To assess whether L. brevis CD2 lozenges improve quality of life, as assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Head and Neck (FACT-HN).
- To assess whether L. brevis CD2 lozenges reduce opioid requirements.
- To assess whether L. brevis CD2 lozenges improve radiotherapy compliance.
- To assess whether L. brevis CD2 lozenges reduce weight loss and the need for a feeding tube.
- To assess whether L. brevis CD2 lozenges affect disease-free survival (DFS) at 12 months after treatment.
- To evaluate the effect of L. brevis CD2 lozenges on salivary biomarkers, including metabonomic and inflammatory markers, as measured at baseline, week 3 of CRT, and during the last week of CRT. (exploratory)
