Oral Mucositis Overview
Oral mucositis (OM) is a debilitating condition characterized by inflammation, swelling, and ulcerations of the oral mucosa. It typically occurs when cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation, damage the rapidly dividing epithelial cells lining the gastrointestinal tract, leaving the mucosal tissue vulnerable to ulceration and infection. Common symptoms include a red, shiny, or swollen mouth and gums; sores on the mouth, gums, or tongue; pain or soreness in the mouth or throat; difficulty swallowing or speaking; a dry mouth; mild burning or pain while eating; soft, whitish patches or pus in the mouth or on the tongue; and increased mucus or thicker saliva.
Diagnosis of oral mucositis is primarily based on the appearance, location, and timing of oral lesions, along with the patient's medical history, which may indicate a treatment regimen linked to OM. Useful laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis and identify the cause—especially if infections (fungal, bacterial, or viral) are suspected—include complete blood count (CBC), viral cultures, biopsy, and fungal testing.
Management of oral mucositis involves several approaches: nutritional support, pain control, oral decontamination, dry mouth palliation, and targeted therapeutic interventions. Treatment may include the use of topical agents, analgesics, mucosal protectants, and other therapies like interventions to reduce chemotherapy-induced mucosal toxicity, mouthwashes, immunomodulatory agents, topical anesthetics, mucosal barriers, and cytoprotectants. Rinsing the mouth with non-medicated solutions, such as saline water, sodium bicarbonate, or a combination of both, is recommended every four hours to help soothe the mucosal tissue and reduce irritation.

Oral Mucositis Epidemiology Insights
-
According to the Oral Cancer Foundation (2022), oral mucositis (OM) is one of the most common and debilitating complications of cancer treatments, especially chemotherapy and radiation.
-
Studies show that oral mucositis affects approximately 30% to 40% of the general cancer patient population.
-
Additionally, research indicates that women are at a significantly higher risk of developing oral mucositis compared to men.

Oral Mucositis Treatment Market
Oral mucositis (OM) is a common and often debilitating side effect experienced by cancer patients undergoing anticancer treatments, especially chemotherapy and radiation. The management of this condition can be challenging for both patients and oncologists. While uncomplicated cases of mucositis are usually self-limiting, symptom management and supportive care are often sufficient. For mild to moderate mucositis pain, solutions like normal saline or sodium bicarbonate mouthwashes are effective, providing relief while being safe, inexpensive, and easy to use. These mouthwashes are particularly useful in managing chemotherapy-induced mucositis and can also be applied in cases of radiation-induced mucositis. Additionally, mouthwashes containing the tricyclic antidepressant doxepin have shown effectiveness for radiation-induced mucositis. In patients treated with mTOR inhibitors, dexamethasone mouthwashes have been found to reduce both the incidence and severity of mucositis with minimal side effects.
Several treatments are currently available on the market to manage oral mucositis. These include:
- Palifermin (recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor-1), which reduces the incidence of severe oral mucositis (Grade 3 and 4) in patients with hematologic malignancies.
- Wecare’s Oralcare Rinse, which aids in healing and repairing the oral mucosa.
- Sodium fluoride, which offers increased protection against cavities.
- Xylitol, which promotes saliva production.
- Acyclonine MUM by RAM Pharma, a dental powder used for managing acute and chronic oral mucosal ulcerations, oral mucositis, aphthous ulcers, and trauma-induced lesions.
- MuGard, a mucoadhesive oral wound rinse designed for treating oral wounds, such as mucositis, stomatitis, traumatic ulcers, and aphthous ulcers.
- Episil, which provides immediate relief, typically within five minutes of application.
The oral mucositis market is expected to experience significant growth in the coming years, driven by the rising incidence of cancer and the anticipated introduction of new therapies during the forecast period (2024–2034). Key industry players, such as Galera Therapeutics and EpicentRx, are actively developing new treatments for oral mucositis and are evaluating their candidates in various stages of clinical development.
Among the seven major markets (7MM), the United States is expected to account for the largest share of the oral mucositis market in 2023.
Emerging therapies, including Avasopasem manganese, RRx-001, and MIT-001, are expected to have a positive impact on the oral mucositis treatment landscape, contributing to the expansion of the market.
With a limited number of specific treatments available for oral mucositis, there is significant potential for the development of novel therapies, which will help further drive the growth of the oral mucositis market.
Oral Mucositis Therapy Assessment
GC4419: Galera Therapeutics
GC4419, also known as avasopasem manganese, has successfully completed two clinical trials in which it was evaluated for reduction of severe oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy and also receiving cisplatin, a chemotherapy drug. The drug is currently in phase III stage of clinical trial evaluation to treat Oral Mucositis.
SGX942: Soligenix
SGX942 is unique in its mechanism addressing the underlying innate immune dysfunction that contributes to the severity and duration of mucositis. Administered twice weekly by a brief 4-minute IV infusion during chemoradiation treatment while patients are otherwise present at their clinician’s office or hospital, SGX942 may be a clinically convenient and safe approach to mitigating oral mucositis. Company’s pivotal Phase 3 clinical study (“DOM-INNATE”) for oral mucositis in head and neck cancer patients has completed enrollment.
