Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of the therapeutic effect of topical cyclophosphamide on cutaneous T cell lymphoma (mycosis fungoides)
Design
Phase 3, pilot, parallel group, split body trial, clinical trial, with consecutive sampling, including 20 patients, single blinded, computerized randomized with permuted blocks
Settings and conduct
The study is conducted in the dermatology clinic of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.The patients use topical cyclophosphamide on a lesion every night and mometasone ointment on a similar lesion at other site of body. The patients are visited by a blinded investigator before intervention, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after starting intervention and are evaluated for Composite Assessment of Index Lesion Severity (CAILS). Due to the difference of drugs, the patients are aware of the type of drugs in each side. Investigator that deliver the drugs are not involved in the outcome assessment. The outcome assessor is not aware of the type of drugs in each patient. Therefore the research will be single-blinded.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:18 years old and more patients with clinically- and histopathologically-approved cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (mycosis fungoides) in stages 1A ,1B, 2A and active patches and plaques Exclusion criteria: Allergy to drugs used in the study, chemotherapy with cyclophosphemide, staging of disease 2B and more, pregnancy, lactation
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Patients use cyclophosphamide cream on a lesion every night. Control group: Patients use mometasone ointment on similar lesion on other site of body.
Main outcome variables
Composite Assessment of Index Lesion Severity (CAILS)

Study designed to a lesion on the right side and one in the left side is treated randomly by one of the drugs using block randomization.
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The patients are recruited by consecutive sampling in the study. Randomization is performed by random allocation software and participants are randomly allocated in the intervention or control group. Randomization of 20 participants in the software is performed by randomization blocks size 4 with random ratio of 1:1. The output of the software is a table that shows each side of participant is allocated in the intervention or control group. Using drugs on the right or left side of body is determined randomly.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
Due to the difference of drugs, the patients are aware of the type of drugs in each side. Investigator that deliver the drugs are not involved in the outcome assessment. The outcome assessor is not aware of the type of drugs in each patient. Therefore the research will be single-blinded.
