What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Clinical Success

    Clinical response (clinical success or clinical failure) at end of therapy (Visit 3) in the intent to treat clinical (ITTC) population.

    Clinical succes at Visit 3 was defined as: SIRS score 0 for exudates/pus, crusting, tissue warmth and pain and no more than 1 each for erythema/inflammation, tissue edema and itching such that no additional antimicrobial therapy in the baseline (Visit 1) affected area is necessary.

    The SIRS is a severity index based on seven signs or symptoms:

    • Exudate/pus
    • Crusting
    • Erythema/inflammation
    • Tissue warmth
    • Tissue oedema
    • Itching
    • Pain

    Each sign/symptom is rated on a scale from 0 to 6:

    0 = absent

    1 2 = mild 3 4 = moderate 5 6 = severe

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing retapamulin 1% ointment and ozenoxacin 1% cream in people with Impetigo, run by Ferrer Internacional S.A. at 19 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in South Africa, Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 May 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical Success (time frame: 2 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01397461, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jul 2016.
