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

18 years to 60 years (Adult)

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 Participants with Clinical Response
Time Frame: Day 7 (End of Treatment)
Percentage of participants with clinical response will be reported. Assessment of clinical response will be done by using Investigator Global Evaluation tool based on the signs and symptoms and clinical improvement scores. The percentage of clinical improvement will be measured at the score ranging from 1 to 5 where Score 1: Healed (absence of signs and symptoms), Score 2: Markedly improved (greater than [>] 50 percentage [%] clinical improvement), Score 3: Considerable residual lesion (less than [<] 50% clinical improvement), Score 4: No change (same as baseline), and Score 5: Worse (deterioration from baseline). Clinical response will be defined as having Scores 1 or 2 (healed or markedly improved).
Day 7 (End of Treatment)

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 Have Mycological Cure
Time Frame: Day 14
Percentage of participants who have mycological cure will be reported. Mycological cure is defined as both culture and microscopy negative to causative fungi.
Day 14
Plasma Concentrations of Itraconazole and Hydroxy-Itraconazole
Time Frame: Days 7 and 14: Pre-dose, 2 and 4.5 hours
Plasma concentrations of itraconazole and hydroxy-itraconazole will be measured.
Days 7 and 14: Pre-dose, 2 and 4.5 hours
Baseline Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of Itraconazole
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0)
Minimum inhibitory concentration of itraconazole toward fungal pathogens will be determined.
Baseline (Day 0)
Percentage of Participants with Clinical Response
Time Frame: Day 14
Percentage of participants with clinical response will be reported. Assessment of clinical response will be done by using Investigator Global Evaluation tool based on the signs and symptoms and clinical improvement scores. The percentage of clinical improvement will be measured at the score ranging from 1 to 5 where Score 1: Healed (Absence of signs and symptoms), Score 2: Markedly improved (greater than [>] 50 percentage [%] clinical improvement), Score 3: Considerable residual lesion (less than [<] 50% clinical improvement), Score 4: No change (same as baseline), and Score 5: Worse (deterioration from baseline). Clinical response will be defined as having Scores 1 or 2 (healed or markedly improved).
