alanine and Cancer of Head

alanine has been researched along with Cancer of Head in 12 studies

Alanine: A non-essential amino acid that occurs in high levels in its free state in plasma. It is produced from pyruvate by transamination. It is involved in sugar and acid metabolism, increases IMMUNITY, and provides energy for muscle tissue, BRAIN, and the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
alanine : An alpha-amino acid that consists of propionic acid bearing an amino substituent at position 2.

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Phase 2 Trial of Rebamipide Liquid to Determine the Effective Dose for Prevention of Chemoradiotherapy-induced Oral Mucositis in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer[NCT02085460]Phase 294 participants (Actual)Interventional2014-03-31Completed
[information is prepared from clinicaltrials.gov, extracted Sep-2024]

Trial Outcomes

Incidence of Grade ≥3 Oral Mucositis Determined by Clinical Examination and Assessed by Central Review According to the Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 3.0.

Investigators who had undergone specific training assessed the severity of oral mucositis twice every week. To evaluate the severity of oral mucositis objectively, the clinical findings of the oral mucosa as well as functional disorders and symptomatic aspects were recorded in the Oral Mucositis Assessment Sheet by each investigator. Photographic documentation of the oral mucosa was also submitted by each investigator, 3 days before or 57 days after initiation of chemoradiotherapy, or at the time of withdrawal. The Oral Mucositis Assessment Sheets and photographic documentation were then reviewed by the Oral Mucositis Evaluation Committee to grade the severity of oral mucositis according to the CTCAE 3.0.z (NCT02085460)
