Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Radiation-induced Xerostomia (MESRIX) in Previous HPV-positive Oropharyngeal Head and Neck Cancer Patients - A Safety and Feasibility Study
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Mesenchymal stem cell and Isotonic NaCl for Xerostomia. Completed, enrolled 30 participants.
Detailed Summary
The current study aims to assess the safety and feasibility of the injection of autologous adipost tissue derived MSCs on radiation-induced salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia in head and neck cancer participants. The project can potentially help to develop a clinically relevant treatment option for the growing number of patients suffering from xerostomia after radiotherapy. The development of new therapies is especially important, since only sub-optimal symptomatic treatments are currently available and the symptom of xerostomia greatly reduces the quality of life.
