Topical Coenzyme Q10 and Curcumin for Oral Leukoplakia
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a cream containing coenzyme Q10 and curcumin can help treat a common mouth condition called oral leukoplakia (a white patch that can sometimes turn into cancer). It is for people with a specific type of white patch that is not severe and can be easily reached with a cream.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a white patch inside your mouth (called oral leukoplakia) that is not cancerous or severely abnormal.
- The lesion must be in a spot where a cream can be applied directly.
- You cannot have taken any antioxidant supplements like coenzyme Q10, curcumin, or vitamin E in the last 4 weeks.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must agree to follow the study schedule and return for check-ups.

This study tests if metformin — a medication commonly used for diabetes — can prevent oral leukoplakia from turning into cancer when applied as a mouth rinse and taken as a pill. It is for people with non-severe white patches in the mouth.
This study compares two topical treatments for oral leukoplakia, a white patch in the mouth that can become cancer. One treatment uses light-activated therapy (photodynamic therapy), and the other uses a vitamin D cream (calcipotriol).
This study looks at oral leukoplakia (persistent white patches in the mouth) to better predict which ones may develop into cancer. It uses a test based on specific immune and cancer-related markers to help estimate each person’s risk.
This trial tests a low-cost light therapy to treat precancerous mouth lesions (moderate to severe dysplasia or carcinoma in situ) that are at least 10 mm. The treatment uses a special light to destroy abnormal cells, possibly avoiding surgery.
This trial studies whether a two-medicine diabetes drug combination can reduce or control risky early changes in certain mouth and throat lesions. You may be asked for small tissue samples (biopsies) before and after 12 weeks to see how the lesions respond.
This trial tests whether a pineapple enzyme (bromelain) works as well as a standard steroid treatment for painful mouth sores caused by oral lichen planus. If you have this condition and are not taking other medications, you may be eligible.
