Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical safety and effectiveness of Visco-ease dry mouth spray for the treatment of Radiotherapy Induced Xerostomia (RIX) in head and neck cancer patients. A parallel group double blind study design has been selected. The primary outcome is change in GRIX scores from baseline (visit 1) to end of treatment (visit 7). The primary outcome will be compared between Visco-ease and the placebo treatment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in GRIX Score
The primary endpoint will compare change in GRIX scores from baseline to 6-week follow-up between the group treated with Visco-ease and the Placebo group.
From baseline (Visit 1) to end of treatment (Visit 7, after 6 weeks of treatment)
Study Arms (2)
Visco-ease
EXPERIMENTALVisco-ease is a suspension of multilamellar vesicles comprising lipids in ratios which mimic the lipidic composition of endogenous extra-alveolar lamellar bodies. Visco-ease is suspended in physiological saline (0.9% NaCl) to provide a final dose concentration of 19.6 mg/mL. Visco-ease is a white to off-white turbid suspension. The device under evaluation in this clinical investigation is Visco-ease at a concentration of 19.6 mg/mL.

You may not qualify if:
- Subject is pregnant or breastfeeding
- Subjects with known allergies to egg, soya, or lanolin (sheep's wool grease) based products
- Subjects with a history of an autoimmune disease with pre-treatment xerostomia (e.g. Sjögren's syndrome) or other underlying systemic illness known to cause xerostomia independent of prior radiation therapy exposure
- Subjects who have participated in an investigational medicinal product study within 30 days prior to signing consent
- Any clinically significant disease or condition that may interfere with the study treatment or outcome of the study (at the discretion of the CI or PI)
