Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Background Justification: 
Till date, no robust clinical trials are available to establish the superiority of SUBA- itraconazole over itraconazole and voriconazole in terms of better cure rate or lower relapse rate in the management of dermatophytosis.
Research Question
How does SUBA-itraconazole compare with itraconazole and voriconazole in terms of efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics.
Objectives:
Primary objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of SUBA-itraconazole vs itraconazole vs voriconazole in the treatment of recalcitrant dermatophytosis
Secondary objectives:
1.To evaluate the safety of SUBA-itraconazole vs itraconazole vs voriconazole in the treatment of recalcitrant dermatophytosis.
2. To evaluate the population pharmacokinetic parameters and sebum concentration of SUBA-itraconazole, itraconazole and voriconazole.
3. To evaluate the role of IL-17 and IgE as immunological markers in recalcitrant dermatophytosis

Endpoints:

Primary endpoint:

1. Proportion of patients showing complete cure ( clinical + mycological) at the end of 8 weeks of therapy

Clinical cure is defined as Score - 0 in Total Symptom Score.

Mycological cure is defined as negative KOH mount at the end of 8 weeks of therapy.

Secondary endpoints;

1. Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events.

2. Proportions of patients showing clinical cure or mycological cure at the end of 8 weeks of therapy

3. Proportion of patients remaining relapse free for 3 months after 8 weeks of therapy (only in case of completely cured patients).

4. Correlation of drug levels in plasma and sebum with Total Symptom Score at week-4 & 8.

5. Correlation of Serum IL-17 and IgE levels with respect to Total Symptom Score at the end of therapy.

6. Correlation of population pharmacokinetics with the Total Symptom Score at the end of therapy.
