Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Safety: the presence or absence of mucosal or systemic toxicity related the the topical application of phenylephrine. [24 months]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Efficacy: the the mucositis severity area-under-the-curve (AUC) where the severity of oral mucositis on each treatment day will be scored, summed, and plotted graphically. [24 months]
