| NCT00127868 ↗ | Selenium Sulfide, Ketoconazole and Ciclopirox Shampoo as Additional Treatments for Tinea Capitis (Scalp Ringworm) | Completed | Eastern Virginia Medical School | N/A | 2005-03-01 | Antifungal shampoos have been used as supplements to oral griseofulvin to help eradicate tinea capitis (also known as ringworm of the scalp) more quickly. While selenium sulfide shampoo has been the gold standard, its strong odor and its drying effect on the scalp discourage many patients from using it. Meanwhile, no other antifungal shampoo has been rigorously evaluated for efficacy. Therefore, while physicians are prescribing griseofulvin accompanied by any of a number of antifungal shampoos for tinea capitis, it is not known which antifungal shampoos (excluding selenium sulfide) actually significantly reduce time to cure, nor which do so the fastest. Scalp ringworm can also re-occur in the same child. To date, no studies have been done to find out whether or not the use of antifungal shampoos can prevent the recurrence of scalp ringworm. In this study, children ages 1-12 years old, who have clinically diagnosed tinea capitis, will all be prescribed oral griseofulvin for 8 weeks. In addition, they will be randomly assigned to use either selenium sulfide shampoo, ketoconazole shampoo, ciclopirox shampoo, or baby shampoo twice a week for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, griseofulvin will be stopped. All patients will continue using the same assigned shampoo twice weekly for 24 weeks, while continuing to return to clinic every 4 weeks for scalp evaluation. |

| NCT04007237 ↗ | The Comparative Assessment of Mycological Efficacy, Safety, Recurrence, and Cost-effectiveness of Selenium Sulfide 1.8% Shampoo Versus Ketoconazole 2% Shampoo in Pityriasis Versicolor: a Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial | Completed | Indonesia University | Phase 4 | 2018-09-01 | There are several topical treatment for Pityriasis Versicolor including ketoconazole and selenium sulfide. Ketoconazole is a broad spectrum anti-fungal drug from imidazole group that has been reported to be effective in PV. The study aimed to reveal the mycological efficacy, safety, recurrence and cost-effectiveness of selenium sulfide 1.8% shampoo (SeS2) and ketoconazole 2% shampoo in the treatment of pityriasis versicolor. A double blind randomized controlled trial was performed in patients with PV during September-December 2018. Patients who involved in this study were allocated to SeS2 or ketoconazole 2% based on block randomization. Physical examinations, scale provocation test, Wood lamp and potassium hydroxide (KOH) examination were conducted to evaluate the treatment response and side effects on 7th - 14th day. Intention to treat analysis was performed in this study. cost-effectiveness was analyzed by Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER). |
