U.S., Dec. 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07278557) titled 'Sparing Parotid Ducts Via MRI Sialography for Reduced Patient-Reported Xerostomia' on Dec. 03.
Brief Summary: Radiation-induced xerostomia (dry mouth) is one of the most common and severe side effects for patients receiving radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. New approaches are needed to reduce this side effect and improve patients' quality of life after treatment.
This is a Phase II, single-center, double-masked, parallel-arm, randomized controlled trial. It compares MRI-guided parotid ductal sparing to the standard approach of mean parotid gland sparing, focusing on patient-reported dry mouth outcomes in individuals recei...
