Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

12 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Review and sign a statement of Informed Consent and HIPAA authorization.
  2. Males or non-pregnant females ≥12 years of age, of any race or sex. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test.
  3. For minors (less than 18 years), the parent/legal guardian must complete the informed consent process AND the subject must complete the assent process and sign the appropriate form (if age appropriate).
  4. Presence of tinea cruris characterized by clinical evidence of a tinea infection (at least moderate erythema, moderate scaling, and mild pruritus) as confirmed by signs and symptoms.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Subjects
Time Frame: Week 4 post-baseline
Complete cure is defined as negative mycology results from the central laboratory (dermatophyte culture and KOH) and absence of Erythema, Scaling, and Pruritus (grade 0 for each) evaluated using the 5-point severity grading scale: 0 = absent, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = marked, and 4 = not done.
Week 4 post-baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mycological Cure and Treatment Effectiveness
Time Frame: Week 4 (two weeks post-treatment)
Mycological Cure was defined as negative KOH result and negative dermatophyte culture at Week 4. Treatment Effectiveness as defined as negative KOH, negative culture, and Scaling, Erythema and Pruritis grades of 0 or 1 at Week 4.
Week 4 (two weeks post-treatment)

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
