Oral Health Interventions for Older Adults

Cleveland, Ohio
This study is a Stage III cRCT to test the efficacy of multi-level interventions at the practice- and provider-level to address low dental utilization (attendance) among Medicaid-enrolled older adults 55 years or older attending non-urgent primary care visits (PCV) in MetroHealth practice settings. Twelve practices will be randomized into two arms: A) Intervention arm will receive the multi-level intervention that includes: 1. Practice-level: EHR changes to include: ask, advise, assess, and connect (AAAC) strategies; 2. Provider-level: Medical staff (MA, nurse): Training in the AAAC process and complete AAAC for enrolled older adults; Clinicians (physician/nurse practitioner): CSM-based education (didactic), skills training (video training with standardized patients), and view completed AAAC in EHR to deliver core oral health (OH) facts to older adults, reinforce importance of dental visits, and document in EHR that OH facts were delivered. B) Control arm will receive, at the provider-level only (clinicians), non-theory-based information about retaining a healthy mouth using the ADA Mouth Healthy Series and deliver standard OH care for patients. Older Adults will be followed at 12 months and 24 months to determine if the participant had any dental attendance. The primary objective is to test the efficacy of the practice level EHR strategy to ask \[OH risk assessment\], advise \[going to dentist\], assess \[willingness for referral\], and connect \[eReferral, resources\] together with clinician theory-based education to communicate OH facts versus clinician alone (standard oral health care) in increasing dental attendance in primary care settings. The secondary objectives are to assess oral hygiene behavior, Geriatric Oral Health Quality of life, biometric measures (BP, serum cholesterol, blood glucose, hbA1c) abstracted from EHR data, potential mediators and moderators to investigate pathways that affect the primary and secondary outcomes, and assess implementation strategies: adoption, reach, fidelity, and maintenance of providers and practices that affect older adult primary and secondary outcomes. The hypothesis is that medical staff completing the AAAC strategy and clinicians with improved OH knowledge (chronicity, systemic effects) will deliver consistent oral health messaging to older adults at PCVs that will result in increased preventive and restorative dental utilization compared to those providers delivering standard care.

Gene Therapy for Radiation-Induced Dry Mouth

Bethesda, Maryland
Background: - Radiation can cause the parotid salivary glands to make less saliva (dry mouth). This can cause problems like infections and tooth decay. Researchers hope a new drug can help people with dry mouth caused by radiation. Objectives: - To examine the safety of AAV2hAQP1 gene therapy. To see if the drug increases saliva in people whose parotid glands have had radiation. Eligibility: - People at least 18 years of age with a history of radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. Design: Participants will be screened in 2 visits with: * medical history * physical exam * scans of the head, neck, and chest * intravenous administration of glycopyrrolate to stop saliva * saliva collections * sialogram which is a procedure in which a substance is injected in the parotid gland and X-rays are taken. * non-drug infusion * a small piece of skin being taken 3-5-day hospital stay: Participants will receive the gene infusion. The AAV2hAQP1 will be in a solution in a syringe. It will be slowly pushed into the parotid gland through the parotid duct, an opening in the mouth near the second upper molar tooth. 10 outpatient visits over 3 years. These may include: * repeats of selected screening tests, including saliva collection * blood and urine tests * oral and dental examinations * head and neck exams, including the use of a thin scope to see the back of the throat * questionnaires * a small piece of parotid tissue being taken by either a small scope through the parotid duct or by a small needle guided by ultrasound * scans of the head and neck. For some, contrast will be injected in a vein * completion of a diary about how the participant feels between visits * swabs of teeth and gums to assess the microbiome of the mouth

Tofacitinib for Sjogren's Syndrome

Bethesda, Maryland
Background: An autoimmune disease is one in which the immune system attacks a person s own body. Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease. It often involves multiple systems and organs of the body. Researchers are trying to find new, more effective and safe treatments for SS. Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerance of tofacitinib in people with SS. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-75 with SS. Design: Participants will be screened on a separate protocol. They will undergo: * Medical and dental history * Physical exam * Medicine review * Electrocardiogram to test the heart s electrical activity (Participants will lay on a table. Sticky pads will be placed on their body.) * Eye exam and test for dry eyes * Oral, head, and neck exams * Plaque collection (Dental plaques and tongue and mucosal scrapings will be collected using a small tongue depressor.) * Salivary gland ultrasound * Blood and urine tests * Minor salivary gland biopsy (The lower lip will be numbed. Several tiny salivary glands will be removed through a small incision.) * Saliva collection * Disease assessment. Participants will repeat some of the screening tests during the study. Participants will take capsules of the study drug or a placebo by mouth for 168 days. Participants will have tests to measure blood pressure and the speed of blood flow through the organs. They will also have a test that examines the function and reaction of the blood vessels. For these tests, they will wear blood pressure cuffs and other sensors. Participants will complete questionnaires about their health. Participants will have 9 study visits over 28 weeks. They may be contacted by phone between study visits.

Radiotherapy Techniques for Oropharyngeal Cancer

Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Radiation-induced xerostomia (dry mouth) is one of the most common and severe toxicities experienced by patients undergoing radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. Radiation-induced dry mouth is a frequently experienced symptom and persists after treatment, potentially indefinitely. Current practice does not specifically attempt to spare the parotid ducts, where stem/progenitor cells are believed to preferentially reside, and considers the entire salivary gland to have equal function. New radiation therapy planning and conducting strategies are needed to reduce this toxicity and maximize patient quality of life post-treatment. This randomized Phase II study explores the contribution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided salivary gland duct definition to decrease patient-reported xerostomia in patients with oropharynx cancer receiving radiation therapy. The severity of xerostomia will be measured by patient-reported (PRO) symptoms, saliva secretion, saliva pH, and buffering.

Botulinum Toxin for Dry Mouth in Head and Neck Cancer

Montreal, Quebec
Head and neck cancer care, including tumors of the mouth, nose, throat and voice box, often requires radiation for cure to be achieved. Despite advances in radiation, 40% to 60% of patients experience a significant dry mouth (xerostomia) following radiotherapy. Several factors are associated with severe xerostomia including older age, advanced stage disease and tumor location. Currently, no pragmatic treatment strategy exists to reduce the risk of radiation-related xerostomia in patients with head and neck cancer. The investigators propose the use of a botulinum neurotoxin injected into the at-risk salivary glands before radiation as a strategy to preserve salivary gland function during radiation treatments and reduce xerostomia.

Optical Sensor Detection for Oral Diseases

Irvine, California
Overall objective of this work is to develop better ways of detecting, diagnosing and measuring oral diseases and structures using light and optical approaches. All different areas of the mouth will be imaged, including healthy, diseased, dysplastic and malignant, as well as oral biofilm, and the imaging data compared against conventional diagnostic approaches such clinical and histopathological and molecular evaluations to (1) gain a better understanding of processes involved in oral pathology and (2) develop a combined patient specific, non-invasive method for the detection, diagnosis and screening of oral pathology and biofilm. Thus our goal is to identify and evaluate microstructural, metabolic, vascular, protein, genomic and metabolomics biomarkers of oral pathology can be used to detect, predict and map oral pathology, especially neoplasia. We are recruiting patients with a wide range of oral conditions including plaque, dry mouth, toothache, root canal treatments, gum disease, oral sores, dysplasia and cancer, autoimmune conditions and others as well as healthy control subjects. We will use a range of non-invasive imaging modalities to obtain information on the ways in which the oral health status affects optical properties, and determine means of detecting and quantifying these factors.. Imaging modalities to be utilized include: 1. Coherence and Doppler Tomography 2. Laser Speckle Imaging 3. Various forms of Spectroscopy 4. Fluorescence

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Dry Mouth clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Dry Mouth clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Dry Mouth trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Dry Mouth is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Dry Mouth medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Dry Mouth clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Radiotherapy Techniques for Oropharyngeal Cancer, Sibeprenlimab for Sjögren's Syndrome and Flavored, Carbonated Drinks for Dry Mouth to the Power online platform.
