简要总结
RATIONALE: Traumeel® S (a mouth rinse) may be effective in preventing or decreasing the severity of oral mucositis caused by chemotherapy in young patients who are undergoing stem cell transplantation.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well Traumeel® S works in preventing or treating mucositis in young patients who are receiving chemotherapy with or without total-body irradiation before undergoing stem cell transplantation.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
- Compare the efficacy of Traumeel® S vs placebo in reducing the severity and duration of chemotherapy-induced (with or without total body irradiation) mucositis in pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
- Determine the safety of this drug in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to treatment with total body irradiation during conditioning chemotherapy (yes vs no), type of transplantation (autologous vs allogeneic), and participating institution (COG vs foreign). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive oral Traumeel® S mouth rinse 5 times daily beginning on day -1 before transplantation.
- Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo mouth rinse 5 times daily beginning on day -1 before transplantation.
In both arms, treatment continues until day 20 post-transplantation OR until mucositis resolves to Walsh score ≤ 1 for 2 consecutive days.

结局指标
主要结局
Area under the curve (AUC) of the modified Walsh mucositis scale
时间窗: Length of study
The primary aim of drug efficacy will be measured by the area under the curve (AUC) of the modified Walsh mucositis scale. Scores will be assigned for each region of oral mucosa and totaled for daily score. AUC will be obtained by graphing the total scores recorded every day during follow-up, linking time adjacent points by a straight line and calculating the area under the resulting polygon. The measurement of AUC incorporates both severity and duration of symptoms.
次要结局
- Two sample t test and the Wilcoxon sum test.(Length of study)
