Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to determine the dose response of arasertaconazole nitrate in the treatment of VVC for Phase III clinical studies.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of the 3 different tested doses of arasertaconazole nitrate pessaries.;Primary end point(s): Efficacy • The primary efficacy endpoint for this study is the dose response for global therapeutic cure at the TOC (Visit 3). Safety • Adverse events (systemic and local) • Change from baseline in physical examination at Visits 2 and 3 • Change from baseline in vital signs (systolic/diastolic blood pressure and heart rate) at Visits 2 and 3. • Change from baseline in ECG at Visits 2 and 3 • Change from baseline in laboratory tests (hematology, biochemistry, urinalysis and coagulation tests) at Visit 2
