February 18, 2013 updated by: Janssen Pharmaceutica

Effectiveness and Safety of Daktacort Feminine Care Cream in the Treatment of Vulvar Candidiasis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of miconazole plus hydrocortisone cream in the treatment of participants with vulvar candidiasis (yeast infection of the vulva).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is an open label (all people know the identity of the intervention), single-arm, prospective (study following participants forward in time) study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of miconazole plus hydrocortisone cream in participants with vulvar candidiasis. Participants will be evaluated and assessed on the degree of pruritus (itchiness) and screened for candidiasis on the baseline. Participants will apply the cream once enrolled and will be assessed for 1-hour to get the time to relief. Each participant will apply the study medication topically (applied to skin) to the lesion twice daily up to Day 14 by rubbing gently until it has been completely penetrated into the vulvar area affected and the treatment should be continued without interruption. Participants will be followed-up after 14 days and will be assessed clinically for signs and symptoms of vulvar candidiasis; if not cured, participants will continue the medication up to Day 28. Primary efficacy endpoint will be the time needed to achieve pruritus relief. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.
  • 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

18 years to 60 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Description

Inclusion Criteria: - Positive potassium hydroxide (KOH) mount / Gram stain (a method used to diagnose bacterial infection) of vulvar (the tissues around the opening to the vagina) scrapings - Vulvar candidiasis with at least mild pruritus Exclusion Criteria: - Participants with vaginal candidiasis (yeast infection of the vagina) - History of allergy to miconazone (an antifungal agent, is used for skin infections such as vaginal yeast infections) and/or other components of the study drug - Pruritus caused by etiologic (the cause) agents aside from fungi - Tuberculous (bacterial infection that usually results in a serious lung disorder) skin infection - Herpes simplex (viral infection), vaccinia (vaccine used to eradicate smallpox), all forms of varicella (infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus), and vulvar malignancy (cancer)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Miconazole plus Hydrocortisone
Drug: Miconazole plus Hydrocortisone
Participants will apply miconazole plus hydrocortisone cream topically to the lesion twice daily up to Day 14 by rubbing gently until it has been completely penetrated into the affected vulvar (the tissues around the opening to the vagina) area and the treatment should be continued without interruption. Participants will be assessed for signs and symptoms of vulvar candidiasis at Day 14. Medication will be continued till Day 28, if signs and symptoms of vulvar candidiasis are not cured clinically on Day 14.

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
Mean Time to Itch Relief
Time Frame: 1-hour after initial application
Time to itch relief is defined as time needed to achieve pruritus (itchiness) relief.
1-hour after initial application

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
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Cure
Time Frame: Baseline up to Day 28
Participants were considered as clinically cured if the potassium hydroxide (KOH) mount / Gram stain (a method used to diagnose bacterial infection) test was negative for infection.
Baseline up to Day 28
Modified Itch Severity Scale (MISS) Score
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 28
The MISS is a specific instrument for assessing and quantifying the intensity of pruritus. The MISS score ranges from 0 to 21, where 0=no itching and 21=very severe itching.
Baseline and Day 28
Pruritus Symptom Assessment by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score
Time Frame: 1-hour after initial application
Pruritus is assessed by using a 100 millimeter (mm) of VAS score ranges from 0 to 100 mm, where 0 mm=no pruritus and 100 mm=worse pruritus.
1-hour after initial application

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

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.
