Overview

The purpose of this study is to find out whether photobiomodulation/PBM therapy using the Thor LX2.3 therapy system is a safe and effective treatment for oral Graft-Versus-Host Disease/GVHD.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Allo-HCT recipients
  • Age ≥ 4 years-old
  • Oral cGvHD with NIH-modified OMRS score ≥ 3 who have failed ≥ 1 line of therapy, including topical corticosteroids..
  • No change in systemic immunosuppressive therapy (type or intensity level) within 2 weeks prior to enrollment.
  • If a patient is currently using another oral topical treatment for mouth lesions/symptoms, patient must be stable on this treatment for ≥2 weeks prior to study enrollment. Patient may continue same topical dose/frequency during the study period.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Presence of an active uncontrolled infection. Subjects with a controlled infection receiving definitive therapy for 48 hours prior to enrollment are eligible.
  • Personal history of mucosal head and neck cancer in the past 5 years.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • The subject or guardian is unable to give informed consent or unable to comply with the treatment protocol including appropriate supportive care, follow-up, and research tests.
  • Any serious medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the Investigator's opinion, potentially interfere with the completion of treatment according to this protocol.

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.
