Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Nano-Iron  Iron nano supplement for control group 
Intervention  Nano-Iron  The supplement, containing iron nanoparticles and essential nutrients, aims to disrupt tumor iron metabolism, inhibiting cancer cell growth. Participants will receive a daily oral dose of 10 mg once daily for 12 months, with regular monitoring and dietary counseling. A placebo-controlled, double-blind design ensures unbiased results. The control group will receive a matching placebo. Follow-up assessments will occur every 3 months during treatment and every 6 months post-treatment for up to 3 years.

Brief Summary  

Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) remains a significant global health challenge due to its aggressive nature and poor prognosis in advanced stages. Traditional therapeutic approaches often fall short in effectively addressing the heterogeneity and complexity of OSCC. To improve outcomes, there is a pressing need for strategies that offer precise risk stratification and tailored therapeutic interventions.

The trial seeks to advance precision therapy for OSCC by integrating cutting-edge nanotechnology-enhanced nutritional interventions within the framework of comprehensive randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Specifically, the trial will explore the therapeutic potential of targeting Iron-Responsive Elements (IREs) and their binding proteins, which play a critical role in cellular iron metabolism and have been implicated in cancer progression. By focusing on these molecular targets, the trial aims to develop more effective, personalized treatment strategies that could lead to better management and prognosis of OSCC.
