Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Nanomicelle Curcumin Formulation on Clinical and Spirometry Parameters of Asthma in Children
Design
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, double blinded, randomized, phase 2-3 on 90 patients with asthma. Block randomization was used.
Settings and conduct
This study will be performed as a double-blind clinical trial in two groups of intervention and control on 90 children with asthma referred to allergy subspecialized clinic of Akbar hospital. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two intervention or control groups. Patients in both groups will receive standard asthma treatment along with curcumin syrup (intervention group) or placebo syrup (control group).
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria : Pediatric patients (6-12 years old) referred to allergy subspecialized clinic of Akbar hospital with mild persistent asthma, Obtain informed consent of patient/caregiver Exclusion criteria : Patient with lung infection, Patients with underlying cardiac, hepatic, biliary, renal, or gastrointestinal diseases or allergic rhinitis, Taking anticoagulants such as warfarin or antiplatelet, Diabetic patients, Child with smoking parent
Intervention groups
In intervention group, asthmatic patients will receive standard treatment along with curcumin syrup at a dose of 40 mg daily for two months. In control group, asthmatic patients will receive standard treatment along with a volume equivalent of placebo syrup daily for two months. Medication and placebo are provided by the Exir Nano Sina company.
Main outcome variables
Patients' clinical signs score in asthma control questionnaire, Value of Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), FEV1 / FVC, Maximal Mid-Expiratory Flow rate (MMEF25-75)

Sample size
Target sample size: 90
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization method: Block randomization Randomization tool: https://www.sealedenvelope.com/ How to make a random sequence: To perform this method, the number of intervention groups (two groups A and B), the volume of each block (6 in each block) and the number of sample size (90 patients) were entered into the website. The site then provided a list of 15 blocks, each contains 6 patients. In this study, we use 6 patients in each block and the website randomizes and numbers the blocks. Allocation Concealment Method: Sealed Envelopes
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The study is double-blinded in which the patients, evaluators, analysts, sample allocators will be unaware of the intervention and control groups. The medication and placebo will be produced in the same dosage form and packaging by the manufacturer and will be numbered according to a random list. Physicians, patients, and analyst will remain unaware of the type of drug or placebo formulation until the work is completed. At the beginning of the study, the patient will be explained that he or she may be in the medication or placebo group.
