E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Women and men ≥ 18 years of age
• Written consent to study participation after patient information by the investigator
• Diagnosis of candidiasis of the skin based on clinical symptoms
• Positive mycological result of a swab revealing at least a moderate number of fungi, microscopically proven
• Sum score of all clinical parameters (erythema, exudation, dysesthesia/ burning, maceration) ≥ 7
• At least moderate severity of inflammation parameters erythema and exudation (i.e. score value ≥ 2)
• For women of childbearing potential: Application of an efficient contraceptive method during the whole study
• For women of childbearing potential: Pregnancy test with negative result prior to study start |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• The treatment area exceeds 10% of the body surface
• Topical treatment in the observation area during the last 7 days prior to study inclusion
• Presence of any of the following skin conditions in the treatment area: viral infections (e.g. herpes simplex, herpes zoster), lues or tuberculosis of the skin, inoculation reactions, rosacea or rosacea-like dermatitis, perioral dermatitis, acne, primary purulent skin infections (like e.g. folliculitis), atrophied skin, wounds, ulceration
• Necessity of application of the study medication in the area around the eyes
• Necessity of application of the study medication on mucous membranes
• Systemic treatment with antimycotics and/or glucocorticoids within the last 4 weeks prior to study inclusion
• Known intolerance or hypersensitivity against miconazole (nitrate) or other imidazole antimycotics, fluprednidene 21-acetate, or any of the other ingredients in the study medications
• Other severe acute or chronic concomitant disease with severe impairment of the general condition
• Other concomitant diseases which may - taking the present knowledge into account - influence the • parameters evaluated in the study in a way that an objective evaluation would be impossible
• Other concomitant medication which may - taking the present knowledge into account - influence the methods of measurement used in this study or the resulting data
• Reasonable doubt concerning the co-operation of the patient
• Participation in another clinical study within the last 30 days prior to inclusion in this study
• Participation in this study at an earlier date
• Women with existing or intended pregnancy or during lactation |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Number (percentage) of patients with treatment success (defined as sum score of clinical parameters ≤ 2 and all individual score values ≤ 1 and negative mycological result) at the main examination (final visit = test-of-cure visit). |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The primary endpoint will be evaluated at the regular study end, i.e. 7 days after end of treatment (= test-of-cure visit). |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• Change of the clinical symptom score between visits, and between EOT and final examination
• Number (percentage) of patients with mycological success at EOT and at the final visit
• Evaluation of therapeutic success at EOT by the investigator and by the patient
• Evaluation of overall therapeutic success by the investigator at the final examination visit
• Number (percentage) of patients with clinical relapse / re-infection at the final examination visit
• Number and classification of adverse events
• Evaluation of tolerability by the investigator and by the patient at all visits under treatment |
