Testing if ice therapy prevents mouth sores from breast cancer treatment
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether sucking on ice (oral cryotherapy) during a specific type of chemo called TROP2-ADC can prevent or reduce painful mouth sores in people with advanced breast cancer. If you're starting this treatment for the first time, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways to prevent or reduce painful mouth sores caused by chemotherapy: holding ice chips in your mouth (cryotherapy) versus using a numbing spray (lidocaine). Both are simple treatments you can do during your chemo session.
This trial tests if holding ice chips in your mouth during chemotherapy can prevent painful mouth sores (called oral mucositis) caused by certain drugs (5-FU and Methotrexate). If you are getting these drugs for a solid tumor and can keep ice in your mouth, this may be a simple way to protect your mouth.
This trial tests if using a steroid mouthwash can prevent painful mouth sores caused by certain chemotherapy drugs. It aims to help patients who are starting or already receiving chemotherapy known to cause mouth sores.
This trial tests whether using cold therapy (cryotherapy) together with compression can lower the chance of numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and feet caused by chemotherapy. It may help people planning chemotherapy for breast cancer stay more comfortable and function better.
This trial tests if a peppermint oil mouthwash can help prevent painful mouth sores caused by chemotherapy. It is for adults with blood cancers who are about to get strong or moderate chemotherapy that often causes nausea and vomiting.
This trial tests whether a steroid mouthwash can prevent mouth sores caused by the drug Datopotamab Deruxtecan (Dato-DXd). It is for people with certain types of advanced breast cancer or lung cancer who are about to start Dato-DXd for the first time.
