Clinical Study on the Effect of Removal of Porphyromonas Gingivalis on Prognosis of Esophageal Cancer After Radical Surgery
Study Purpose
Esophagectomy is an important means of radical treatment of esophageal cancer, but due to local recurrence and metastasis, the 5-year survival rate of patients with esophageal cancer is only 20-30%. Studies have reported that about 50% of patients relapse within 1 year after surgery, and the short-term recurrence rate is high. Therefore, reducing the recurrence rate of esophageal cancer after operation is an important way to improve its prognosis. Porphyromonas gingivalis infection in ESCC tissues was significantly higher than that in paracancer tissues, and was significantly positively correlated with cancer cell differentiation, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, and shortened survival of ESCC patients. In summary, porphyromonas gingivalis plays an important role in postoperative recurrence of esophageal cancer. Elimination of porphyromonas gingivalis can significantly reduce the recurrence rate of esophageal cancer after operation. Tinidazole is a class of nitroimidazole drugs. It has been pointed out that the pharmacological mechanism of Tinidazole is to inhibit the DNA synthesis of pathogenic bacteria, so as to eliminate bacteria in periodontal tissues and inhibit local inflammation. Based on this, we designed and fabricated a novel oral microneedle patch loaded with tinidazole. Tinidazole oral microneedle patch can effectively remove porphyromonas gingivalis and promote the repair of gingival tissue. In this study, based on the combination of mechanical removal and antibacterial treatment, a combination of ultrasonic dental cleaning and tinidazole oral composite microneedle patch was designed to completely remove porphyromonas gingivalis in oral cavity, and to evaluate the effect of removal of porphyromonas gingivalis in oral cavity on the prognosis of esophageal cancer after radical surgery.
Recruitment Criteria
Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.
An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.
Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.
Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.
Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Arms
No Intervention: Arm 1:pg(-)
The routine follow-up review after radical resection of esophageal cancer was performed according to the schedule requirements
Experimental: Arm 2:pg(+)
Dental cleaning combined with gum tape treatment every three months until disease progression/recurrence/death or intolerable adverse reactions occur.
No Intervention: Arm 3:pg(+)
The routine follow-up review after radical resection of esophageal cancer was performed according to the schedule requirements
Interventions
Combination Product: - Tinidazole oral microneedle patch
Ultrasonic teeth cleaning: After gargling with compound chlorhexidine gargle or 3% hydrogen peroxide gargle for 1 minute, the teeth were cleaned by ultrasonic wave. After the teeth were cleaned, the wound was rinsed with 3% hydrogen peroxide to stop bleeding. Immediately after the ultrasonic cleaning, two pieces of tinidazole oral composite microneedle patch were applied to the upper and lower gums close to the inside of the first molar, especially on the tooth loss or damage, and the mouth was kept closed for 15 minutes. After the microneedle was fully degraded, the room could be left.
