About this study

Official title: Effect of Centella Asiatica on Xerotic Skin in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2: a Study on N(6)-Carboxymethyl-lysine, Interleukin 1-α, Dan Superoxide Dismutase in Stratum Corneum

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of Centella asiatica on hydration status of lower leg skin of DM type 2 patients by measuring SRRC and Skin Capacitance in correlation with AGEs CML, inflammation marker IL-1α, and oxidative stress SOD in stratum corneum.

Read the detailed description

This ia a double blind randomized clinical trial on patients diagnosed with DM type 2 with dry skin to assess the effect of Centella asiatica (CA) on dry skin in corellation with AGEs CML, inflammation marker IL-1α, and oxidative stress SOD in stratum corneum after four weeks of treatment. Subjects are divided into three groups of treatment. The first group treated with oral CA and topical CA, second group treated with oral placebo and topical CA, and the last group treated with oral and topical placebo. The total subjects in each treatment groups are 53 subjects. The recruited subjects will be randomized to receive three different treatments, consist of 1. First group (A) will receive combination of oral CA at 2x1100 mg dose and 1% topical CA ointment. 2. Second group (B) will receive oral placebo and topical CA 1% ointment 3. Third group (C) will receive oral placebo and petroleum jelly as topical placebo The recruited subjects will still receive the prescribed treatment for DM type 2. The treatment for dry skin will be administered for 28 days. Randomization done by our supervisor using computer program (RandlistR) by assigning code number for each subjects. The procedures of treatment administration are explained below: 1. Every subject will receive 56 capsules and 10 gram of ointment to be used in 2 weeks period. Subjects will also receive explanation on how to take the drugs 2. Oral drug are taken 2 capsules (@ 550 mg) b.i.d over 12 hours. 3. The ointment is applied two times a day 15 minutes after bath time. 4. The application have to be distributed evenly on a specific 7 x 20 cms area on lower leg. All patients will be given plastic cover to determine the area. 5. The estimation of ointment applied on every leg is as much as ½ FTU or about 0,25 gram. 6. After 2 week period ended, subject will be given the same treatment at follow-up visit.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Skin Capacitance

    SCap measured in (AU)

    Measured: 1 month (evaluated every 2 weeks)

  2. Change in SOD

    Superoxide Dismutase (compared to total protein)

    Measured: 1 month (evaluated every 2 weeks)

  3. Change in IL-1α

    Interleukin-1α (compared to total protein)

    Measured: 1 month (evaluated every 2 weeks)

  4. Change in AGEs CML

    Advanced Glycation End Product, N-(Carboxymethyl)lysine (compared to total protein)

    Measured: 1 month (evaluated every 2 week)

  5. Change in SRRC

    Specified symptom sum score. Measuring dry skin using four variables (scale, roughness, redness, and cracking) in score ranged from 1 to 4 for each variable. The highest the value marks the driest skin

    Measured: 1 month (evaluated every 2 week)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Centella Asiatica Extract, Topical CA and Petroleum jelly in people with Xerosis Cutis and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Universitas Indonesia at 1 site in Indonesia.

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 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2019. 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 Indonesia. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Skin Capacitance (time frame: 1 month (evaluated every 2 weeks)). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 24 Jan 2019.
