Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study is looking at a new medication called NG11-2 to see if it can reduce a side effect called severe Radiation-induced Oral Mucositis (RIOM) that can happen to people getting radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. Severe RIOM can make patients very sick and make it hard for them to finish their cancer treatment. Right now, there are no approved drugs that can prevent or treat severe RIOM. This study will test different doses of NG11-2 to find the best one, and then more patients will take that dose to see if it works. This study is being done at multiple hospitals in the UK.
