| NCT00600548 | Trial of Miltefosine in Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (Brazil) | PHASE2 | COMPLETED | 180 | — | — | Jul 1, 2007 | Jul 1, 2009 | Apr 15, 2010 | 2 | Brazil |
Bidirectional measurements of ulcers will be taken of the patients' lesions at the initial visit, and at each follow-up visit with standardized caliper. The area involved will be calculated as the product of the two measurements. All lesions will be categorized as either active or healed (cured) at follow-up visits. Only lesions with complete re-epithelialization, without raised borders, infiltrations or crusts will be considered healed. Evaluation of the lesions will be performed by 2 clinicians who will be unaware of the group assignment of all patients.
