A Randomized Double Blind Placebo Controlled Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy of Traumeel® S (IND#66649) for the Prevention and Treatment of Mucositis in Children Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

RATIONALE: Traumeel® S (a mouth rinse) may be effective in preventing or decreasing the
severity of oral mucositis caused by chemotherapy in young patients who are undergoing stem
cell transplantation.

PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well Traumeel® S works in preventing
or treating mucositis in young patients who are receiving chemotherapy with or without
total-body irradiation before undergoing stem cell transplantation.

OBJECTIVES:

- Compare the efficacy of Traumeel® S vs placebo in reducing the severity and duration of
chemotherapy-induced (with or without total body irradiation) mucositis in pediatric
patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

- Determine the safety of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients
are stratified according to treatment with total body irradiation during conditioning
chemotherapy (yes vs no), type of transplantation (autologous vs allogeneic), and
participating institution (COG vs foreign). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment
arms.

- Arm I: Patients receive oral Traumeel® S mouth rinse 5 times daily beginning on day -1
before transplantation.

- Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo mouth rinse 5 times daily beginning on day -1
before transplantation.

In both arms, treatment continues until day 20 post-transplantation OR until mucositis
resolves to Walsh score ≤ 1 for 2 consecutive days.

Patients are followed until day 100 post-transplantation.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 180 patients (90 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this
study within 2 years.
