The aim of the present study is to collect data on the feasibility of a preventative/therapeutic approach of radiation-induced oral mucositis with benzydamine oromucosal solution (mouthwash) in patients with head and neck cancer.
This is a phase IV clinical study whose aim is to collect data on the feasibility of a preventative/therapeutic approach of radiation-induced oral mucositis with benzydamine oromucosal solution (mouthwash) in patients with Head and Neck cancer.
Benzydamine mouthwash is considered the gold standard among anti-inflammatory agents in the management of oral mucositis in cancer patients.
The 2014 mucositis guidelines recommended benzydamine mouthwash for the prevention of radiation-induced oral mucositis among Head and Neck Cancer patients treated with moderate doses of radiation therapy. The updated 2019 guidelines not only confirm the existing guidelines proving new evidences, but also recommend to use benzydamine as preventative treatment of radiation-induced Oromucositi among Head and Neck Cancer. patients treated with radiation therapy with/without systemic concurrent treatments and confirm benzydamine mouthwash as the only anti-inflammatory agent with evidence in prevention of oral mucositis to date.

|---|---|---|---|
| Benzydamine Hydrochloride 0.15% w/v oromucosal solution | Experimental | Benzydamine Hydrochloride 0.15% w/v oromucosal solution (mouthwash), Angelini Pharma S.p.A., is assigned to the patients for radiation-induced oromucositis. The patients take at home 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of concentrated or diluted (with water) mouthwash 2-3 times a day, but not more than 5 times a day, washing the mouth and throat for 20-30 seconds, according to the Investigator's indications and the local product's SmPC. In Hungary, the therapy should started with diluted product (15 ml of water + 15 ml of concentrated solution). After that, gargling can be continued with 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of concentrated mouthwash, generally 2-3 times a day, but not more than 5 times a day. In Poland, the solution is used 2 to 3 times daily; at a single time, it should be used approximately 15 ml of concentrated or diluted mouthwash with a small amount of water and wash the mouth and throat for 20 to 30 seconds. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number of responders | The effectiveness of benzydamine oromucosal solution (mouthwash) in the prevention/tratment of radiation-induced oral mucositis in Head and Neck cancer patients is evaluated as the number of responders, expressed in percentage, defined as the number of head and neck cancer patients with oral mucositis pain intensity <5 in the Numeric Rating Scale. | Up to 7 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number of compliant patients to Benzydamine treatment. | The compliance to the treatment is calculated at the end of the study. A patient is considered compliant to the benzydamine treatment if he/she takes ≥80% of the total dose assigned by the Investigator. | Up to 7 weeks |
| Change score in the World Health Organization oral mucositis grading scale. |

The severity of oral mucositis is evaluated using the World Health Organization (WHO) oral mucositis grading scale. The Investigator gives a score corresponding to the grade of mucositis of the patient, from "0" = "None" to "4" = "Life-threatening", "Oral alimentation impossible". |
| Up to 7 weeks |
| Number of days of duration of severe oral mucositis. | The duration of severe oral mucositis (grade 3 or 4 on the World Health Organization oral mucositis grading scale) is assessed. | Up to 7 weeks |
| Time of onset of severe oral mucositis. | Time of onset of severe oral mucositis (grade 3 or 4 on the World Health Organization oral mucositis grading scale) is assessed. | Up to 7 weeks |
| Percentage change in body weight | The percentage change in body weight from baseline is assessed. | Up to 7 weeks |
