Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention consisits of a treatment period of 7 days (+1 day visit window). Eligible subjects randomised to the treatment arm will self-administer (orally rinse, swish, and gargle for 60 seconds, and expectorate) at home. Subjects will self-administer 8 mL LBS-020 (150ug/ml) orally five times a day every 3h ± 2h, preferably before meals. Subjects will be provided with sufficient product (vials) for self-administering five times a day for 8 days. At end of treatment phase, subjects will return all unused product. Furhter, subjects will be asked to complete a daily diary for monitoring of the treatment phase.

Comparator / control treatment
The control treatment consisits of a treatment period of 7-8 days. Eligible subjects randomised to the control arm will self-administer (orally rinse, swish, and gargle for 60 seconds, and expectorate) at home. Subjects will self-administer 8 mL vehicle control orally five times a day every 3h ± 2h, preferably before meals.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 319681 0
VAS score assessing subject's mouth dryness
Timepoint [1] 319681 0
Visit 3 (end of treament period)
Secondary outcome [1] 369138 0
Treatment-emergent adverse events. The investigator will report all directly observed adverse events and all adverse events spontaneously reported by a study subject. Each study subject will be questioned about adverse events at each scheduled study visit. The type of question asked should be open-ended (e.g., “Have you had any new health problems?” or similar type of query). Examples of Adverse Events include significant or unexpected worsening or exacerbation of the condition/indication under study; exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition including either an increase in frequency and/or intensity (grade) of the condition; New conditions detected or diagnosed after investigational product administration even though they may have been present prior to the start of the study; Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae associated with a suspected interaction of the investigational product with a concomitant medication; Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae associated with a suspected overdose of either investigational product or a concurrent medication.
