A clinical trial to compare the effects of coded Unani research drugs UNIM 001+UNIM003 with Psoralen in the treatment of vitiligo

Phase 2

Recruiting

Conditions: Vitiligo,

Registration Number: CTRI/2013/12/004215

Lead Sponsor: Central Council for Research in Unani Medicine CCRUM New Delhi

Brief Summary: This study is designed as a multicentric single blind, randomized, parallel group, comparative study to compare the efficacy and safety of Coded Unani formulations UNIM 001+UNIM003 with Psoralen in the treatment of Bars (vitiligo). Self-reporting Vitiligo patients at Central Research Institute of Unani Medicine, Hyderabad/ and other allotted centres under CCRUM, will be assessed which will form the source of subjects for the study. Approximately in and around 532 clinically diagnosed Vitiligo patients with various ages, chronicities and of either gender will be enrolled in the study subject to fulfillment of inclusion criteria.

After screening, participants will be divided into 2 arms. First arm will receive the study drugâ€“ UNIM001+UNIM003 while the second arm will receive psoralen as treatment. The total duration of treatment will be 8 weeks All the parameters will be recorded at baseline, clinical follow up will be done once in a month for their evaluation as rate & % of re-pigmentation including the safety and efficacy parameters like LFT, RFT, ECG-QT interval. Follow up evaluation will be at least for 3 months to assess the retention of re-pigmentation. Response will be evaluated as follicular and peri-lesional re-pigmentation over the de-pigmented areas. Rate of % of re-pigmentation will be assessed. QOL index will be recorded initially and at the end of the study. Post-treatment follow-up will be done for 3 months in order to see the rate of re-pigmentation retained by the participants

**Age related dosing of psoralen 8-12 years:10 mg; 13-18 years: 15 mg; 19 years & above20 mg.**
