Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinical Success2 weeks

Clinical response (clinical success or clinical failure) at end of therapy (Visit 3) in the intent to treat clinical (ITTC) population.

Clinical succes at Visit 3 was defined as: SIRS score 0 for exudates/pus, crusting, tissue warmth and pain and no more than 1 each for erythema/inflammation, tissue edema and itching such that no additional antimicrobial therapy in the baseline (Visit 1) affected area is necessary.

The SIRS is a severity index based on seven signs or symptoms:

* Exudate/pus

* Crusting

* Erythema/inflammation

* Tissue warmth

* Tissue oedema

* Itching

* Pain

Each sign/symptom is rated on a scale from 0 to 6:

0 = absent

1 2 = mild 3 4 = moderate 5 6 = severe
