Study summary

A Prospective, Single-Arm, Open-Label, Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Photodynamic Therapy Using Radion™-pdt in Patients with Oral Precancerous Lesion (Oral Verrucous Hyperplasia or Oral Erythroleukoplakia).

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, single-arm, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical Radion™-pdt for treatment of patients with oral verrucous hyperplasia (OVH) or oral erythroleukoplakia (OEL).

Total duration of the study will be up to 40 weeks (from screening throughout study until completion) as follows:

  • Screening (within 2 weeks before dosing)
  • Treatment period (up to 14 weeks)
  • Safety follow-up period (within 2 weeks after final treatment)
  • Follow-up period (final treatment plus 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 16 weeks and 24 weeks respectively) All enrolled patients will receive up to 8 treatments (once every two weeks) during a maximum of 14-week study treatment period. The treated lesion will be clinically evaluated and documented (clinical photograph) at each treatment visit.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Patients aged ≥20 years old;
  2. Patient with oral verrucous hyperplasia (OVH) or oral erythroleukoplakia (OEL) lesions with histological evidence of oral precancerous lesions. Besides, patients should have at least one lesion whose size should not exceed 4 cm in the greatest diameter and the distance between two lesions should not less than 1 cm.
  3. Patient who is willing and able to comply with study procedures and sign

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with history of to any photosensitizer (including 5-aminolevulinic acid HCl or porphyrins), acute or chronic types of porphyria;
  2. Record of previous unsuccessful treatment with photodynamic therapy;
  3. Patients who have been diagnosed as having oral cancer or carcinoma in situ;
  4. Patients who have a history or evidence of a medical condition that would expose them to an undue risk of a significant adverse event during the course of the trial, including but not limited to hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, neurological, hematological, gastrointestinal or psychiatric disease as determined by the clinical judgment of the investigator;
  5. Patients with impaired hepatic function (defined as and/or ALT > 2× the values), and/or impaired renal function (defined as serum creatinine > 1.5 mg/dL);
  6. Female patient of who:

    • is lactating; or
    • has positive urine pregnancy test at visit -1; or
    • refuses to adopt reliable method of during the study;
  7. Patient has received any other agent within 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to the first photodynamic therapy;
  8. Patient has a history of illegal substance abuse, drug addiction or alcoholism within 24 weeks prior to the study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

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.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

    The Radion™-pdt will be applied topically to the lesion. The Radion™-pdt applied dosage is about 0.1 mL/cm\^2 and properly cover the entire lesion.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The primary efficacy endpoints: the complete response rate is higher or equal to 70% of total

    The complete response rate at the end of treatment will be calculated by the proportion of complete response patients in total. The primary efficacy endpoints will be summarized by examining whether the complete response rate is higher or equal to 70% of total. Complete response (CR): lack of detectable lesion confirmed by visual evaluation.

    Time frame: 2-week safety follow-up period after last treatment

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 Jan 2, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
