What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ItraconazoleDrug

    Also called JNJ-16269994

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ItraconazoleExperimentalParticipants with Tinea cruris or Tinea corporis infection that have been prescribed itraconazole 200 milligram (mg) daily by their treating physician will be enrolled in this study. Participants will receive itraconazole 200 mg orally once daily for 7 days and at the discretion of the treating physician on Day 14. Participants will also get their regular clinical care at the discretion of their treating physician.
Receives: Drug: Itraconazole

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants with Clinical Response

    Percentage of participants with clinical response will be reported. Assessment of clinical response will be done by using Investigator Global Evaluation tool based on the signs and symptoms and clinical improvement scores. The percentage of clinical improvement will be measured at the score ranging from 1 to 5 where Score 1: Healed (absence of signs and symptoms), Score 2: Markedly improved (greater than [>] 50 percentage [%] clinical improvement), Score 3: Considerable residual lesion (less than [<] 50% clinical improvement), Score 4: No change (same as baseline), and Score 5: Worse (deterioration from baseline). Clinical response will be defined as having Scores 1 or 2 (healed or markedly improved).

    Measured: Day 7 (End of Treatment)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Participants who Have Mycological Cure

    Percentage of participants who have mycological cure will be reported. Mycological cure is defined as both culture and microscopy negative to causative fungi.

    Measured: Day 14

  2. Plasma Concentrations of Itraconazole and Hydroxy-Itraconazole

    Plasma concentrations of itraconazole and hydroxy-itraconazole will be measured.

    Measured: Days 7 and 14: Pre-dose, 2 and 4.5 hours

  3. Baseline Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of Itraconazole

    Minimum inhibitory concentration of itraconazole toward fungal pathogens will be determined.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0)

  4. Percentage of Participants with Clinical Response

    Percentage of participants with clinical response will be reported. Assessment of clinical response will be done by using Investigator Global Evaluation tool based on the signs and symptoms and clinical improvement scores. The percentage of clinical improvement will be measured at the score ranging from 1 to 5 where Score 1: Healed (Absence of signs and symptoms), Score 2: Markedly improved (greater than [>] 50 percentage [%] clinical improvement), Score 3: Considerable residual lesion (less than [<] 50% clinical improvement), Score 4: No change (same as baseline), and Score 5: Worse (deterioration from baseline). Clinical response will be defined as having Scores 1 or 2 (healed or markedly improved).

    Measured: Day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Itraconazole in people with Mycoses, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 4 sites in India.

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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in India. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Further recruitment not possible due to COVID 19 impact. Hence a decision to close study was taken by the sponsor in Aug 2020). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Percentage of Participants with Clinical Response (time frame: Day 7 (End of Treatment)). 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 NCT03923010, 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 1 Sep 2021.
