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
- You do not smoke, use tobacco, or have a history of alcohol or substance abuse

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new treatment using special cells (mesenchymal stromal cells) from your own bone marrow to help with dry mouth that is not caused by radiation. The goal is to see if it can increase saliva production and improve quality of life.
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 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 repeated injections of stem cells (mesenchymal stem cells) can help people who have chronic dry mouth after radiation therapy for head or neck cancer. The goal is to improve saliva production and reduce discomfort.
This study tests an artificial saliva product made with cumin and ginger to see if it helps reduce dry mouth in people with head and neck cancer. It is designed for patients who are at least 6 months past radiation and have ongoing dry mouth (xerostomia).
