Study summary

An increased incidence of dental caries in association with poorly controlled diabetes has also been reported, Xerostomia (dry mouth) has been reported to be a common complaint of patients with diabetes, Without adequate saliva production, both hard and soft tissues of the mouth can be severely damaged and become more susceptible to infections. This 9 week, cross-over group, randomized, single center, study will evaluate the efficacy of HA formulation in alleviating dry mouth in type 2 diabetic patients.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2018 to primary completion in Oct 2019, 21 months.

Of 101 interventional studies with no phase under Xerostomia, half reached primary completion within 13 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 33. This study's 21 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Aug 10, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
