Clinical Trial Summary

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.


Description:

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:

- Existing hepatic and/or renal diseases or other pathologic findings, which might interfere with the safety and tolerability of the active ingredients.

- Screening laboratory tests presenting deviations deemed as clinically significant, which, due to possible risks, prevents the participation in clinical trial.

- Known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or to chemically related compounds (azoles) or to the compounds of the investigational products.

- Participants with severe or multiple drugs allergies, unless judged by the investigator as not clinically relevant to the participation in the clinical trial.

- Positive anti human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV) test, positive Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBs-Ag) test or positive anti hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) test.

- Presence of infected Tinea pedis, or any other infection or pathology that may confuse the treatment evaluation.

- History of drug addiction.

- Diseases that may alter the immune system and, consequently, the host's response to the fungal presence (immunosuppressed participants), as well as the use of systemic immunosuppressive drugs, chemotherapy or radiotherapy, during the 3 months prior to the start of treatment.

- Use of drugs that may interfere with the assessment of the results, as well as use of topical immunosuppressants, topical antibiotics or topical corticosteroids, within 2 months prior to the start of treatment.

- Participants who might be non-compliant to the study treatment and/or to the requirements and procedures of the protocol.

- Participants who are unable to understand written and verbal instructions, in particular those regarding the risks and inconveniences to which they will be exposed during the participation in the clinical trial.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary 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.
28 days of treatment
Secondary Proportion of participants with therapeutic cure Proportion of participants, in each treatment group, who achieved therapeutic cure, on the assessment performed after 42 days of treatment. 42 days of treatment
Secondary Proportion of participants maintaining therapeutic cure Proportion of participants, in each treatment group, maintaining the therapeutic cure in the evaluation performed approximately 14 days after the end of the 42 days treatment period. 14 (±3) days after the end of treatment
Secondary Proportion of participants maintaining therapeutic cure Proportion of participants, in each treatment group, maintaining the therapeutic cure in the evaluation performed approximately 28 days after the end of the 42 days treatment period. 28 (±5) days after the end of treatment
Secondary Number of days until clinical cure Number of days elapsed between the day of start of treatment and the day when the clinical cure is diagnosed, according to the daily assessment, in each treatment group. up to 42 days
Secondary Number of adverse events per participant Number of adverse events, in each treatment group, including clinically relevant alterations of vital signs and laboratory tests. up to 80 (±5) days
