This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Bayer, January 2009
Sponsored by: Bayer
Information provided by: Bayer
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00781820
  Purpose

The study is focused to prove that the efficacy of a 1% Bifonazole cream is superior to a placebo cream after non-surgical nail ablation with a 40% urea paste.


Condition Intervention Phase
Onychomycosis
Drug: Bifonazole cream 1%
Drug: Placebo cream
Phase III

Drug Information available for: Bifonazole
U.S. FDA Resources
Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator), Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Multicenter, Placebo- Controlled Phase 3 Trial to Prove the Superiority of Bifonazole vs. Placebo After 4 Weeks of Onychomycosis Treatment/ as a Follow-up of a 2 Weeks Treatment of Non-Surgical Nail Ablation of Diseased Nail Matrix With 40% Urea Paste

Further study details as provided by Bayer:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Overall cure rate comprising clinical cure and mycological cure microscopy + culture negative [ Time Frame: 14 days after end of treatment (=visit 3) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Clinical cure rate [ Time Frame: 14 days, 3 and 6 months after end of treatment (=visit 3, 4, and 5) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Culture negative [ Time Frame: 14 days, 3 and 6 months after end of treatment (=visit 3, 4, and 5) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Microscopy negative [ Time Frame: 14 days, 3 and 6 months after end of treatment (=visit 3, 4, and 5) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Relapse rate (overall cure at visit 3 but positive clinical ormycological findings at visit 4 [ Time Frame: 3 and 6 months after end of treatment (=visit 4 and 5) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Mycological cure rate (microscopy + culture negative) [ Time Frame: 3 and 6 months after end of treatment (=visit 4 and 5) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Culture negative [ Time Frame: 6 months after end of treatment (=visit 5) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: 2 weeks, 3 and 6 months after end of treatment (=visit 3, 4, and 5) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
