Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male or female at least 10 years of age, and otherwise healthy
  • Clinically and mycologically confirmed diagnosis of symptomatic tinea pedis
  • In good health with no disease that might have interfered with study evaluations
  • Study participant or legal guardian was willing and able to read and sign an IRB approved ICF, which included agreement to comply with all study requirements as indicated in the protocol. For subjects 10 to 17 years of age, an assent form for minors was completed.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of or allergy to ciclopirox
  • Had any skin condition that would interfere with the diagnosis or assessment of tinea pedis
  • Had a history of dermatophyte infection unresponsive to antifungal treatment
  • Had a history of alcoholism, drug abuse, or problems that would likely have made the subject unreliable for the study
  • Had any condition or used any medication that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might have interfered with the conduct or results of the study or placed the prospective subject at increased risk
  • Was unwilling to sign the
  • Female who was pregnant or lactating
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Subjects in Each Treatment Group With Therapeutic Success

    Therapeutic success was defined as having both Mycological Cure (potassium hydroxide \[KOH\] wet mount negative and fungal culture negative) and Clinical Cure

    Time frame: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Subjects With Mycological Cure

    Potassium hydroxide \[KOH\] wet mount negative and fungal culture negative

    Time frame: 6 weeks

  2. Proportion of Subjects With Clinical Cure

    Clinical Cure was defined as a signs and symptoms score of \<1 for erythema; \<1 for scaling; and 0 for pruritus, maceration, fissuring/cracking, and burning/stinging; as well as an assessment that no additional antifungal therapy was required to treat the subject's current episode of tinea pedis

    Time frame: 6 weeks
