Study Description

This is a single-center, open-label phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate NORM safety, tolerance and ability to eliminate Candida sp from the oropharyngeal cavity.

Adult volunteer patients with dry mouth and confirmed presence of candida (by oral smear due to any cause will be eligible, including autoimmune disease, idiopathic (aging, tobacco, approved inhaled recreational drug, or alcohol use), and medical management including chemotherapy-induced, radiotherapy-induced, bone marrow transplantation-induced, medication use including antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, etc.
