About this trial
This is a single center pilot study evaluating intraoral photobiomodulation for the prevention of oral mucositis in patients undergoing myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). Patients who are planned for alloHCT will receive daily intraoral photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) using a novel LED device.
The name of the study device involved in this study is:
\- THOR LX2.3 with LED Lollipop

Treatments tested in this trial
THOR LX2.3 with LED Lollipop
DeviceThe intraoral PBMT device will be placed inside of the mouth to deliver the therapeutic light. Each treatment is approximately 2-3 minutes in duration. PBMT will be administered daily starting from the start of conditioning through day +20, or discharge if prior to day +20, with 27 consecutive days defined as a maximum PBMT treatment duration
