About this study

Official title: Innovative Formulations of Curcumin & Its Comparative Efficacy in Management of Oral Submucous Fibrosis.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether the formulations of curcumin will effect the clinical signs and symptoms and histopathological features in patients with clinical stage 2 oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF).

Read the detailed description

200 clinical stage 2 OSMF patients selected randomly by simple random technique with clinically \& histopathologically confirmed diagnosis are divided into 4 groups with 50 patients each.

In Group 1 patients are given 10% of curcumin mucoadhesive gel and are instructed to use it topically twice daily making it a daily dose of 1gm.

In Group 2 patients are given 500mg of curcumin capsules and are instructed to take 2 capsules twice daily making a daily dose of 1gm.

In Group 3 patients will be given 5% of curcumin mucoadhesive gel and will be instructed to use it topically twice daily \& 250mg of curcumin capsules to be taken twice daily making it a daily dose of 1gm.

Group 4 is considered as control group and provided with formulations without the active drug.

The mean scores of 4 groups will be statistically tested using Anova technique.

The differences in clinical parameters at 15 days, 1 month, 3 months \& clinical \& histopathological paramerters at 6 months will be compared between groups 1, 2, 3 \& 4 by using students 't' test \& correlation is also used for knowing the association of variables.

For all tests, a 'p' value of 0.05 or less will be utilized for statistical significance.

Other non parametric tests can also be applied where ever necessary for data analysis.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in India. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jayashree Mudda, MDS (+919741804012, jayashreemudda@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Burning sensation and pain (time frame: 6 months for each patient). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03511261, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Apr 2018.
