Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of nutritional management on radiation-induced oral mucositis in patients with advanced head and neck cancer during the peri-radiotherapy period . The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • [question 1]Whether whole-course nutritional intervention can improve radiation-induced oral mucositis in patients with HNC.
  • [question 2]Whether whole-course nutritional intervention can improve nutritional status and inflammation.

Participants will be treated according to the NCCN guidelines. In addition, clinical pharmacists and registered dietitians provided nutritional intervention strategies based on clinical and nutritional assessments for the patients in the peri-radiotherapy nutrition group.

Researchers will compare clinical routine examination and nutritional indicators between the standard treatment group and the peri-radiotherapy nutrition management group to see if nutrition management effects.

    Nutritional management was performed by clinical pharmacists and registered dietitians to develop nutritional intervention strategies based on patient clinical assessment and nutritional assessment. PG-SGA score was 0-3 points, and diet guidance was given. PG-SGA score \> 4 points, artificial nutrition intervention was carried out, and the way and amount of nutritional intervention were clarified to achieve the final daily energy and protein target requirements. Nutritional interventions and assessments were adjusted over time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Degree of radiation-induced oral mucositis (RTOG criteria)

    The Radiation Oncology Group (RTOG) grade of acute radiation injury was used for evaluation, which was divided into 0 to Ⅳ grades. The mild grade included 0, Ⅰ, and Ⅱgrades (grade 0 was no mucosal response; GradeⅠ: erythema, mild pain; GradeⅡ: spotty mucositis with serous exudation), severe grade Ⅲ- IV (Ⅲ: patchy fibrous mucositis with severe pain; Grade IV: necrosis, ulcer, hemorrhage).

    Time frame: six months

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

Start is estimated for Mar 2023; primary completion for Dec 2025, 33 months later.

Of 412 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Head and Neck Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 34 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 67. This study's planned 33 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 427 studies reached it within 34 months; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 64.

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 Feb 10, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
