About this study

Official title: Prospective 2-Year Longitudinal Study to Assess for Miconazole Resistance in Candida Spp. With Repeated Treatment Courses of 0.25% Miconazole Nitrate Ointment in Neonates and Infants up to 1 Year of Age With Recurrent Moderate-Severe Diaper Dermatitis Complicated by Cutaneous Candidiasis

The purpose of this study is to determine whether repeated use of 0.25% miconazole nitrate ointment in newborns and infants with a yeast infection in the diaper area causes the yeast to become resistant to the drug.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to investigate the potential for the development of resistance in Candida spp. after repeated treatment courses of 0.25% miconazole nitrate ointment in neonates and infants up to one year of age.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Overall Cure (OC)

    OC was defined as both clinical (therapeutic) cure with total resolution of signs/symptoms (no clinical signs of infection) and microbiological cure with mycological eradication (both negative potassium hydroxide [KOH] and culture results). Participants who had OC were categorized as "Successes"; those without OC were categorized as "Failures." Any discontinued or lost to follow-up participant was also considered a failure.

    Measured: Test-of-cure visit (Day 14) of initial treatment episode

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number of Participants With Clinical Cure

    Participants were evaluated for clinical cure, which was defined as therapeutic cure with total resolution of signs and symptoms (i.e., no clinical signs of infection). Participants who had clinical cure were categorized as "Successes"; those without clianical cure were categorized as "Failures." Any discontinued or lost to follow-up participant was also considered a failure.

    Measured: Test-of-cure visit (Day 14) of initial treatment episode

  2. Number of Participants With Mycological Cure

    Participants were evaluated for mycological cure, which was defined as mycological eradication with negative KOH and culture results. Participants who had mycological cure were categorized as "Successes"; those without mycological cure were categorized as "Failures." Any discontinued or lost to follow-up participant was also considered a failure.

    Measured: Test-of-cure visit (Day 14) of initial treatment episode

  3. Clinical Evaluations Using the Diaper Dermatitis Severity Index Score for Initial Treatment Episode

    The diaper dermatitis severity index score was calculated as the sum of severity grades for each parameter evaluated (erythema, papules or pustules, and erosions) for the initial treatment episode. The maximum score possible for the diaper dermatitis severity index is 8. Rating scale for Erythema: 0 (none to trace), 1 (mild [pink]), 2 (moderate [red]), 3 (severe [beefy red]). Rating scale for Papules or Pustules: 0 (none to trace [0]), 1 (few [1-10]), 2 (multiple [11-20]), 3 (many [21-40]), 4 (abundant [more than 40]. Rating scale for Erosions: 0 (absent), 1 (present).

    Measured: Test-of-cure visit (Day 14) of initial treatment episode

  4. Clinical Evaluations Using Change From Baseline in the Dermatitis Severity Index Score at Day 14 of the Initial Treatment Episode

    The diaper dermatitis severity index score was calculated as the sum of severity grades for each parameter evaluated (erythema, papules or pustules, and erosions). Change from baseline=baseline value minus Day 14 value. The maximum score possible for the diaper dermatitis severity index is 8. Rating scale for Erythema: 0 (none to trace), 1 (mild [pink]), 2 (moderate [red]), 3 (severe [beefy red]). Rating scale for Papules or Pustules: 0 (none to trace [0]), 1 (few [1-10]), 2 (multiple [11-20]), 3 (many [21-40]), 4 (abundant [more than 40]. Rating scale for Erosions: 0 (absent), 1 (present).

    Measured: Test-of-cure visit (Day 14) of initial treatment episode

  5. Number of Participants With Overall Cure (OC) of First to Third Recurrent Episodes (RE)

    OC was defined as both clinical (therapeutic) cure with total resolution of signs/symptoms (no clinical signs of infection) and microbiological cure with mycological eradication (both negative potassium hydroxide and culture results) at TOC visit for initial episode (ep.) to third ep. Participants (par) who had OC were categorized as "Successes"; those without OC were categorized as "Failures" (discontinued/lost to follow-up par were also failures). A RE is not temporally associated with a prior episode (PE) irrespective of whether the PE involves continuing treatment with study medication.

    Measured: Test-of-cure (TOC) visit (Day 14) of first to third recurrent episodes (up to approximately 1 year and 7 months)

  6. Number of Participants With Clinical Cure of First to Third Recurrent Episodes

    Participants were evaluated for clinical cure, which was defined as therapeutic cure with total resolution of signs and symptoms (i.e., no clinical signs of infection). Participants who had clinical cure were categorized as "Successes"; those without clinical cure were categorized as "Failures." Any discontinued or lost to follow-up participant was also considered a failure.

    Measured: Test-of-cure visit (Day 14) of first to third recurrent episodes (up to approximately 1 year and 7 months)

  7. Number of Participants With Mycological Cure of First to Third Recurrent Episodes

    Participants were evaluated for mycological cure, which was defined as mycological eradication with negative KOH and culture results. Participants who had mycological cure were categorized as "Successes"; those without mycological cure were categorized as "Failures." Any discontinued or lost to follow-up participant was also considered a failure.

    Measured: Test-of-cure visit (Day 14) of first to third recurrent episodes (up to approximately 1 year and 7 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing 0.25 % Miconazole Nitrate Ointment in people with Diaper Rash, run by Stiefel, a GSK Company at 8 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Panama. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Oct 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Overall Cure (OC) (time frame: Test-of-cure visit (Day 14) of initial treatment episode). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00702507, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Mar 2012.
