Independent Study to Establish the Efficacy of the Six Doses Uniform MDT Regimen (U-MDT) for Leprosy Patients
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating PB 6 doses - Rifampicin and Dapsone, PB 6 doses - Rifampicin, Clofazimine and Dapsone, and 2 other interventions for Leprosy. Completed, enrolled 859 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this randomized trial is to verify if leprosy patients, despite of their classification, can be treated with the same regimen without compromising patient cure and acceptability of the treatment. At present, patients classified as multibacillary leprosy are treated for 12 months with three drugs, and patients classified as paucibacillary leprosy are treated for 6 months with two drugs. The study is going to test a unified regimen for paucibacillary and multibacillary patients by treating leprosy patients with three drugs for 6 doses.
