Nozin ...Study Participants
50This phase I trial studies the side effects of Nozin in preventing respiratory viral infections in patients undergoing stem cell transplant. Nozin is a non-antibiotic, alcohol-based nasal sanitizer used in hospitals to prevent spread of bacterial infections and may also prevent community acquired respiratory virus infection in stem cell transplant recipients.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Beginning 7 days prior to transplant, patients receive Nozin via nasal single-use popswabs or single-use cotton tipped applicators and swab the inside of their nose two times daily (BID) up to 100 days after transplant.
ARM II: Patients receive standard of care.
After completion of study, patients are followed up every week for 6 weeks and then every alternate week until day 100.
Given via nasal single-use popswabs or single-use cotton tipped applicators
Receive standard of care
Beginning 7 days prior to transplant, patients receive Nozin via nasal single-use popswabs or single-use cotton tipped applicators and swab the inside of their nose BID up to 100 days after transplant.
Inclusion Criteria: Undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic transplant for malignant or non-malignant disease English speaking Capable of providing informed consent Planned to receive follow-up at the transplant site for the first 100 days post transplantation Subjects who the investigator believes can and will comply with the study protocol Exclusion Criteria: Documented respiratory viral infection in the two weeks prior to enrollment Current or planned use of any prophylactic antiviral therapy, antibody treatments, or other agents targeting the prevention of respiratory viruses (i.e. oseltamivir, ribavirin, amantadine) Known allergy to study drug components (jojoba, orange oil, coconut oil, lauric acid, benzalkonium chloride, vitamin E) Receiving oxygen supplementation at time of enrollment Active mucositis at time of enrollment Ongoing irritation or active infection of the squamous epithelial cell skin involving the nose or nasal vestibule Daily use of nasal decontamination products or other nasal medications (e.g. nasal steroids) Unable to complete study procedures (e.g. nasal swab self-testing)
