简要总结
Assessment of efficacy and safety of a new ointment with clotrimazole (10 mg/g) and betamethasone dipropionate (0.64 mg/g) (Mecloderm®) in comparison with the authorised medicinal product Lotricomb® Ointment and the underlying vehicle of Mecloderm® in patients with moderately to severely inflamed candidiasis of the skin.

- •Written consent to study participation after thorough information of the patient through the investigator or another medical competent member of the study team
- •Diagnosis of candidiasis of the skin based on clinical symptoms
- •Positive mycological result of a swab revealing at least a moderate number of fungi, microscopically proven
- •Sum score of all clinical parameters (erythema, exudation, dysesthesia/burning, maceration) ≥ 7
- •At least moderate severity of inflammation parameters erythema and exudation (i.e. score value ≥ 2)

- •Participation in another clinical study within the last 30 days prior to inclusion in this study
- •Participation in this study at an earlier date
- •Women with existing or intended pregnancy or during lactation
- •Topical treatment in the observation area during the last 7 days prior to study inclusion
- •Presence of any of the following skin conditions in the treatment area: viral infections (e.g. herpes simplex, herpes zoster, varicella), lues or tuberculosis of the skin, inoculation reactions, rosacea or rosacea-like dermatitis, perioral dermatitis, acne, primary purulent skin infections (like e.g. folliculitis), atrophied skin, wounds, ulceration, suspected additional bacterial infection

结局指标
主要结局
Number (percentage) of patients with treatment success (defined as sum score of clinical parameters ≤ 2 and all individual score values ≤ 1 and negative mycological result) at the main examination (EOT visit 3 after 14 days).
Number (percentage) of patients with treatment success (defined as sum score of clinical parameters ≤ 2 and all individual score values ≤ 1 and negative mycological result) at the main examination (EOT visit 3 after 14 days).
次要结局
- Change of the sum score of clinical parameters between baseline and follow-up visits, and between main examination (EOT) and final examination
- Evaluation of overall therapeutic success by the investigator at the final examination
- Number (percentage) of patients with mycological success (negative mycological cultivation and/or negative microscopical result) at visit 3 (EOT) and at the final visit (visit 4)
- Evaluation of therapeutic success at visit 2 and EOT by the investigator and by the patient
- Number (percentage) of patients with clinical relapse/re-infection at the final examination visit
