Clinical trials

Head and Neck cancer patients receiving radiation therapy (with or without chemotherapy) suffer several oral complications, such as oral mucositis, which impairs quality of life of patients during radiotherapy and in the post-treatment follow-up period. The use of topical agents to protect oral mucosa against radiation-induced toxicity is part of the routine clinical practice. Among these products, the use of mouthwashes and/or gels are extensively used in the Centro Oncológico Clara Campal - Hospital HM Sanchinarro. Once such product is a proprietary formulation based on natural ingredients such as olive oil, betaine, and xylitol (Mucosa Innovations S.L.).

The goal of this clinical trial is to retrospectively identify the most prevalent symptoms of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) among postmenopausal women and to evaluate their impact on quality of life. Moreover, based on data collected from medical records and/or patient-reported questionnaires, if available data enable it, it will be assessed whether treatment with the topical vulvovaginal gel XCM INTIM for a minimum of 8 weeks results in changes in symptom severity and in the impact of these symptoms across different quality-of-life domains.

The use of a novel topical mucosa composition (XCM-OM118) comprising 2-(trimethylazaniumyl) acetate; (2R,3R,4S)-pentane-1,2,3,4,5-pentol; Hexadecanoic acid; (9Z, 12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dienoic acid; octadecanoic acid; (Z)-hexadec-9-enoic acid; (Z)-octadec-9-enoic acid) delivered as a gel and a mouthwash is to be studied in regard to its effect on the incidence of severe oral mucositis in Head \& Neck cancer radiated patients. Patient reported outcome measures seem to be an effective tool to obtain a greater knowledge of the physical and emotional state of patients, being used in this study to assess quality of life of Head \& Neck cancer radiated patients.

The goal of this clinical trial is to improve the management of Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) to preliminary assess safety and effectivity of a novel hormone-free mucosa composition (XCMIM20m) applied topically to the vulvovaginal area. Symptoms of vaginal atrophy will be compared before and after 8 weeks of use of the tested gel with the Day-to-Day Impact of Vaginal Aging (DIVA) PROMs questionnaire to assess changes impact of GSM symptoms.
