Description
This is an multi-centre, open-label, first-in-man prospective study.
Up to 60 patients in total will be involved in the open-label trial of new medical device - Mucopad HA. Eligible patients will be undergoing treatment with the device for up to 10 weeks, after which it is expected that there should be significant improvement in the healing process of oral mucositis after radiotherapy. It is considered as an improvement when there is a significant reduction or complete resolution of the mucositis. Mucositis will be assessed as a WHO scale.
Quality of life will be assessed by Oral Mucositis Daily Questionnaire (OMDQ) provided by FACIT.
