Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  LULICONAZOLE 1% CREAM  Luliconazole is an imidazole antifungal agent,it inhibits 14a-demethylase causing fungal ergosterol biosynthesis to be disrupted.1% luliconazole cream applied once daily for 2 weeks 
Intervention  SERTACONAZOLE 2% CREAM  Sertaconazole, an imidazole antifungal agent, inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential cell wall component of fungi.Sertaconazole has both fungistatic and fungicidal activity.2% sertaconazole cream applied once or twice daily for 2-4 weeks

Brief Summary  
Thesis/Dissertation protocol- Superficial mycotic infection such as ‘Dermatophytoses’ is an extremely common infection occurring throughout the world with a reported incidence of 20% in USA.The disease is caused by dermatophytes belonging to genera of Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton. The fungal infections of the skin and its appendages are more common in tropical countries like India due to environmental factors like heat (summer) and humidity (monsoon).However in India, the most commonly occurring clinical type of dermatophytoses for adults includes, tinea corporis (36-59%) and tinea cruris (12-27%).
Imidazoles, allylamines and triazoles are most effective agents for dermatophytoses. Topical daily antifungal therapy usually involves imidazoles (namely, Sertaconazole and Luliconazole) and allylamines (Terbinafine).
The comparative effectiveness and safety of luliconazole and sertaconazole remains unclear and well-designed head-to-head trials of newer antifungals are warranted to establish these agents relative efficacy in treating tinea infections.So this study is planned to compare sertaconazole with luliconazole in patients with dermatophytoses.

complete study plan-
Day 0-Written informed consent , baseline investigation (10% KOH) and assessment of scale (PGA-Physician Global Assessment)
                -Drug given (either sertaconazole 2% cream or luliconazole 1% cream)

End of treatment-
baseline investigation (10% KOH) and assessment of scale (PGA-Physician Global Assessment)

After 2 weeks of end of treatment-
baseline investigation (10% KOH) , assessment of scale (PGA-Physician Global Assessment),safety and cost effectiveness
