Study summary

The aim of the study was to assess the safety, acceptability, and efficacy of product GV-328 for the treatment of childhood oral aphthous lesion.

Read the detailed description

Prospective study carried out in the Pediatric Dentistry Department of the International University of Catalonia. The sample was made up of children between 3 and 13 years old. Baseline pain status, functional limitation, edema and lesion diameter were evaluated. The treatment lasted 4 days. The parents recorded the intensity of the pain and the number of pills provided daily. Statistical significance was accepted with p≤0.05 and a 95% confidence interval.

A total sample of 33 patients, 11 boys (33 %) and 22 girls (67 %) was obtained. The average age of the children was 7.8 years (SD: 1.41). Numerical variables referring to pain, inflammation and edema presented statistically significant improvements (p-value \<0.05). Healing efficacy was demonstrated in 13 cases (39 %) and only 3 cases (9 %) reported poor taste acceptability.

    GV-328

    The treatment should be carried out for 4 days. Children between 3 and 6 years old had to consume 4 pills a day, children between 7 and 10 years old 5 pills, and children between 11 and 13 years old up to 6 pills. The patient had to slowly thin the tablet in the mouth, maintaining direct contact with the area to be treated. The study consisted of 2 visits, one initial and one final. In the initial visit , the documentation (informed consent) and the treatment were delivered. During this visit, baseline assessments of pain level, functional limitation, marginal mucosal edema, and lesion size were recorded. In addition, a photograph of the area to be treated was taken. Parents were also given a chart, in which they had to record the intensity of pain daily using the Wong-Baker face scale.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The level of pain was measured on the Wong-Baker Faces Scale (WBFS)

    It consists of a 6-point scale that ranges from 0 (no pain) to 5 (excruciating pain).

    Time frame: 4 DAYS

Secondary outcomes

  1. The degree of functional limitation and edema in the marginal mucosa were measured using a Likert scale.

    (0-absent, 1-mild, 2-moderate, 3-intense, 4-very intense).

    Time frame: 4 DAYS

Other outcomes

  1. The baseline size of the main lesion was also classified according to its diameter

    \<0.5 cm, 0.5-1.0cm or\> 1.0 cm.

    Time frame: 4 DAYS

Ran from Nov 2017 to primary completion in Jun 2019, 19 months.

Of 13 interventional studies with no phase under Stomatitis, Aphthous, half reached primary completion within 15 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 19. This study's 19 months is above that.

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 1, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
