Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) loaded with luliconazole on patients with treatment-resistant dermatophytosis.
Design
The first group: patients with treatment-resistant dermatophytosis, and non-onychomycosis, who will receive itraconazole, will be the control group. The second group: patients with treatment-resistant dermatophytosis, not onychomycosis, who will receive NLC gel drug loaded with luliconazole. The third group: patients with treatment-resistant dermatophytosis, non-onychomycosis, who will receive NLC gel drug loaded with loliconazole and itraconazole.
Settings and conduct
The current research is a clinical trial study that will be conducted on 75 patients with treatment-resistant dermatophytosis who were referred to the Baghban (Tubi) specialized clinic and skin and beauty clinics in Sari City during the years 1403-1404. The study is single-blind, so patients will not know the type of medicine they receive.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: patients with treatment-resistant dermatophytosis Exclusion criteria: children, neonates, and individuals who took the drugs in the last week.
Intervention groups
After diagnosis by a specialist, patients with dermatophytosis are identified through clinical and laboratory methods, including history of treatment. The study includes common antifungals like terbinafine. After confirming terbinafine-resistant cases, patients will be grouped according to the protocol and prescribed the appropriate medication. Patients will receive medicine for two weeks.
Main outcome variables
Complete recovery of clinical symptoms Negative mycological criteria: negative result in direct examination or culture

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
randomization The block method will be used for randomization. This will be performed using Random allocation software. To ensure unpredictability, the software will calculates block number and size. Based on numbers produced by the software, samples are assigned to groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
Simultaneously, the participants receive information regarding conducting a research study and complete the consent form; however, the type of luliconazole gel (simple or nano form) will remain concealed from her.
