Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of our research is to compare the effectiveness of 125mg/50ml sodium thiosulfate (STS) solution to normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) when injected intralesionally for the treatment of calcinosis cutis. Our specific aim is to assess the response of dystrophic and idiopathic calcinosis cutis to the injections of sodium thiosulfate in our patients.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Lesion Size	The lesion size is measured in square centimeters.	3 months
Primary	Physician Global Assessment (PGA)	The PGA will be done by the physician to assess appearance and changes in the lesion. The lesion will be assigned a score from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe).	3 months
Primary	Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain	The VAS for pain is used to assess the pain associated with the lesion. The pain will be recorded as a number from 1 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain).	3 months
