Circular RNA treatment for dry mouth after radiation
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of treatment called circular RNA to see if it can help people with long-term dry mouth after radiation for head and neck cancer. It's for patients whose dry mouth hasn't gone away with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- It's been at least 2 years since your cancer was treated and you haven't had another cancer (except certain skin or cervical cancers)
- You have dry mouth or low saliva that hasn't improved for at least 3 months
- You do not have an active infection, heart failure, kidney problems, or uncontrolled diabetes
- You do not have an autoimmune disease that affects your salivary glands

This Phase 1 study tests whether a citrus-flavored supplement (d-limonene gelcaps) can help prevent or reduce dry mouth (xerostomia) in people getting radiation plus chemotherapy for certain head and neck cancers. It aims to see how well the approach is tolerated and whether it can protect saliva function during treatment.
This trial compares a new radiation technique designed to reduce dry mouth (xerostomia) with standard radiation for people with nasopharyngeal cancer. It aims to see if the new approach can protect saliva glands while still treating the cancer effectively.
This trial tests whether repeated stem cell treatments can help relieve dry mouth caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. The goal is to improve saliva production and quality of life for cancer survivors.
This trial compares two treatments—a salivary gland procedure (sialendoscopy) and a light therapy (photobiomodulation)—to prevent dry mouth caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. If you are about to start radiation and meet the dose limits, you may be eligible.
This trial tests whether spermidine (a natural compound) can help prevent dry mouth caused by radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. It is for patients who will receive a significant dose of radiation to their saliva glands.
This trial tests whether ozone therapy can help people who have dry mouth and low saliva production after radiation treatment for head or neck cancer. The goal is to see if it can improve saliva flow and reduce discomfort.
