| Main Objective: The objective of this double-blind, randomized, controlled, multicenter, parallel-group phase III pilot-study is to show a superiority of AzA 15% gel SH H 655BA over its vehicle („placebo“; SH H 655PBA) in the treatment of patients with mild to moderate seborrheic dermatitis. The study is of explorative nature, the potential efficacy of the AzA 15% gel in seborrheic dermatitis is not known. ;Secondary Objective: -;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy variables are the sum score of the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis and as the investigator’s global assessment (IGA). The sum score is derived as the sum of individual scores for scaling, erythema (inflammation), and itching/burning in facial target sites. Patients should present with at least 3 facial target sites preferably forehead/eyebrows; bridge of nose; nasolabial folds. The facial target are graded numerically for erythema, scales and itching/burning. The single symptoms are rated on a 6 point score from 0 to 5. The single scores are added to a total score (= sum score) for all randomized patients and an average, mean, score is then calculated from the total. The investigator’s global assessment (IGA) is a coprimary variable. The IGA provides a subjective overall description/assessment of the acute disease status on a 6-point scale (static score). | — |
