Top-line results from a Phase IV clinical trial evaluating Mu-Gard Mucoadhesive oral wound rinse, from Access Pharma, shows it was effective in controlling symptoms caused by Oral Mucositis in 120 patients receiving chemoradiation therapy for the treatment of cancers of the head and neck. Mu-Gard met the primary study endpoint, with patients receiving Mu-Gard experiencing a statistically significant reduction versus placebo in mouth and throat soreness.
In addition, fewer patients receiving Mu-Gard had ulcerative Oral Mucositis at the end of radiation therapy. Data was presented at the MASCC/ISOO International Symposium on Supportive Care.
