A Phase 3 interventional study of Dapaconazole and Ketoconazole in Tinea Pedis, sponsored by Biolab Sanus Farmaceutica. Completed at 1 site in Brazil. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-07-27.
Sponsored by Biolab Sanus Farmaceutica · Phase 3, Interventional, and Treatment
The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate that dapaconazole cream 2% (experimental drug) is non-inferior to ketoconazole cream 2% (Nizoral® - active comparator) for the treatment of dermatological lesions of Tinea pedis, when applied to the skin (topically) once daily during 28 days. Additionally, the safety and tolerability aspects will be evaluated in a descriptive way, through the observation of the incidence of adverse events.
This is a non-inferiority, phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, randomized (allocation of treatment), balanced, controlled (active comparator) trial, with two parallel groups in a 1:1 proportion.
Randomization will depend on inclusion/exclusion criteria, taking into account the confirmation of diagnosis by the direct mycological test performed during the screening phase. However, cases whose diagnosis is not additionally confirmed by positive fungal culture (sampled during the screening phase) will be excluded from the efficacy analysis.
Participants will show up to the clinic, for treatment, during 42 consecutive days, when one of the investigational products (according to the randomization) will be applied by a blind member of the study staff. A non-blind member of the study staff will weigh the corresponding investigational product and pass on to the blind member only a spatula with the weighed product, in order to maintain the blinded aspect of the trial.
For exploratory purposes, clinical and mycological evaluations will also be performed after 7 and after 14 days of treatment.
Safety analysis will be performed considering all the randomized patients to which at least one dose of the investigational products has been applied, regardless of the result of the fungal culture.
Conclusion of non-inferiority will be based on the per protocol set. It will be deemed as per protocol those participants who do not miss more than 20% of the applications and, also, no more than four consecutive application days.

Exclusion Criteria:
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.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
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.
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.
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.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Proportion of participants with therapeutic cure
Proportion of participants, in each treatment group, who achieved therapeutic cure, defined as both clinical cure and mycological cure, on the assessment performed after 28 days of treatment. Clinical cure is defined as a score ≤ 2 for the sum of scores attributed to each sign or symptom (erythema, maceration/peeling, fissuring/cracking, itching and burning) as evaluated by a four-point categorical scale (0=absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe). Mycological cure is defined as negative result for the direct mycological examination (potassium hydroxide \[KOH\] test) and a negative fungal culture.
