| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare the efficacy of Abafungin cream 0.2 %, Abafungin cream 1.0 %, Abafungin cream 2.0 % and vehicle to Abafungin cream, applied once daily for 4 weeks in patients with interdigital tinea pedis.;Secondary Objective: __;Primary end point(s): Primary variable for the statistical analysis is the treatment success rate after 6 weeks (2 weeks post-treatment, “Point of Cure”). Treatment success is defined as: 0 (no treatment success) = the patient is not completely cured* or effectively treated** 1 (treatment success) = the patient is completely cured* or effectively treated** * Completely cured are patients who are: 1. mycologically cured*** and 2. have a physicians global assessment score of 1, i.e. clinical cure / clear and 3. have a score of 0 (absent, normal) for all signs and symptoms ** Effectively treated are patients who are: 1. mycologically cured*** and 2. have a physicians global assessment score of 2, i.e. clear or almost clear and 3. have a score no greater than 1 (mild, barely abnormal) for erythema, no greater than 1 (mild, barely abnormal) for scaling and not greater than 0 (absent, normal) for all other signs and symptoms *** Mycological cure is defined as: 0 (no mycological cure) = positive microscopy or positive culture 1 (mycological cure) = both, negative microscopy and negative culture simultaneously | — |
