Study summary

CelAgace™ OraRinse (silver citrate complex and acemannan) Solution is planned to be evaluated for safety and effectiveness as a potential treatment for candidiasis, a yeast infection, commonly known as thrush, which is associated with mouth sores.

Read the detailed description

CelAgace™ contains two active ingredients, a silver citrate complex salt (0.01mg/ml) that has demonstrated laboratory effectiveness against yeast organisms and acemannan (4.0mg/ml), a purified extract isolated from the inner leaf gel of the Aloe vera plant that has been used as a key ingredient in other oral care products. Patients will swish and spit the product 4 times daily (after meals and at bedtime) for 14 days. Following an initial office visit, patients will be evaluated on days 7 and 14 to determine response to the product.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Clinical cure as demonstrated by change and reduction from baseline in typical candida lesions and a negative candida rinse culture

    Rinse culture will be taken on Days 1, 7 and 14 to quantify Candidal Colony Forming Units and observational assessment will be done at study entry, Day 1, Days 3, 7, 14 using the WHO grading scale for response evaluation.

    Time frame: Days 1(Baseline), 3, 7 and 14

Secondary outcomes

  1. Reduction in Pain

    Patients will complete a pain quality assessment rating scale (PQAS) during the course of the study.

    Time frame: Days 1, 3, 7, 14

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 9, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
