| Main Objective: The efficacy of the treatment with mometasonfuroat cutaneous spray (solution) in four different concentrations (0.002%, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%) in comparison with Ecural® 0.1% solution and a placebo assessed by the eczema score during seven-day treatment. In particular, the corresponding concentration of mometasonfuroat cutaneous spray showing equivalent or better efficacy than Ecural® 0.1% solution is to be determined.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety assessed by the clinician’s global assessment of local skin reaction and irritability (burning sensation, itching);Primary end point(s): Primary objective of this explorative study is to evaluate the efficacy of mometasonfuroat cutaneous spray (solution) in four different concentrations in comparison with a commercially-available mometasonfuroat solution (Ecural® 0.1%) and a placebo in subjects with contact allergies. Particularly, we want to determine the corresponding concentration of mometasonfuroat cutaneous spray that shows equivalent or better efficacy than Ecural® 0.1% solution. Efficacy is assessed by the local eczema score at V2, V5 and V8. Due to the small sample size and the exploratory character of the study, evaluations of the results are carried out on a descriptive level. The assessments of the local eczema scores are presented as means with intervals of confidence and standard deviations broken down by each treatment group and visit. | — |
