Study summary

This study assesses the disinfectant and healing promoting effect of ozonated olive oil in treatment of pemphigus vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid in comparison to conventional topical treatment with topical antibiotic.

Read the detailed description

All participants will be subjected to the following:

  • Written informed consent.
  • Detailed history and clinical examination and photographic documentation
  • Patients with pemphigus vulgaris (epidermal skin blisters) as well as those with bullous pemphigoid (subepidermal skin blisters) will receive systemic treatment, namely; pulse steroid therapy and either mycophenolate mofetil or azathioprine

    +/- monthly IV cyclophosphamide.

  • Two comparable contralateral lesions will be selected in every patient, which will be randomly assigned to either ozonated oil or conventional treatment.
  • Patients will apply ozonated oil to on one lesion followed by gauze compared to conventional topical gentamycin and potassium permanganate followed by gauze on the contralateral lesion. Role of topical treatment is essentially to prevent / treat secondary bacterial infection of skin erosions as well as promote wound healing by maintaining moist clean environment.
  • Surface area of both lesions will be calculated using digital planimetry, prior to starting treatment and by the end of treatment; namely end of the first cycle of intravenous pulse steroids on day 6 which defines end of intervention. Percent reduction on either side will be calculated.
  • For assessing disinfectant effect, swabs will be taken from the 2 selected lesions at the same intervals for assessing for bacterial as well as fungal growth.
  • Patients with positive cultures for bacterial growth will be given systemic antibiotics according to culture and sensitivity

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 8, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
