Outcomes and Timepoint

Section to complete information about primary and secondary outcomes including. It includes the metric or method of measurement used and, the time point for every outcome.

Primary outcome(s):

Severe conditions of lesions will be determined daily, by the qualitative evaluation of patients through the clinical examination of the mucosa area, considering the phases in accordance with WHO: Grade 0: None. (There is no clinical symptomatology). Grade 1: Erythema. (There is only flare of the mucosa area). Grade 2: Erythema, ulcers in the mucosa area. The patient can eat solid foods. Slight pain. Grade 3: Erythema, edema, ulcers in the mucosa area. The patient can consume only liquid diet. Acute pain. Grade 4: Enteral or parenteral support. Acute pain. The following are the response criteria to be considered: -Favorable response: Lesions heal in a 10-day or less term. -Partial response: Lesions heal in a 10-15-day term; otherwise, to go from a superior to an inferior grade, during the same time. (Grades according to WHO scale). -Unfavorable response: No heal after 15 days. Grades 1, 2 - 3, 4 even administering the product. (Grades according to WHO scale).
