Study to Determine Skin Irritation Potential of an Antifungal Cream Containing Trolamine After Repeated Skin Application (Cumulative Irritation Patch Test)

Overview

In this study researchers want to study the potential skin reaction after repeated application of an antifungal cream containing trolamine. The study plans to enroll about 32 healthy female or male participants with the age 18 – 79 years. Researchers will apply on the skin of the upper back between the shoulder blades of the study participants three different patches to cover a small amount of the antifungal cream or 0.3% solution of sodium lauryl sulfate, which is known to cause skin irritation (so called positive control). A third patch will cover a skin area without any product (so called negative control). Participants will return daily to the study center to have new patches containing the test products applied on the same skin area of the back, excluding weekends, for 21 days of continuous skin contact. At each visit the skin will be investigated by the researchers for redness, dryness and other reactions to learn about the skin reaction after repeated application.

Full Title of Study: “HT201307-Cumulative Irritation Patch Test (21 Day)”

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: N/A
    • Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: None (Open Label)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: July 1, 2013

Interventions

  • Drug: Butenafine HCl 1% (BAY1896425)
    • Approximately 0.2 g of cream containing butenafine HCl 1% daily (excluding weekends) was applied to the absorbent pad portion of a semi-occlusive dressing, which was then applied to the skin test site. The total dose applied to each participant completing the trial was 3 g.
  • Drug: Positive Control-Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)
    • Approximately 0.2 mL of 0.3% solution of sodium lauryl sulfate was applied to the absorbent pad portion of a semi-occlusive dressing, which was then applied to the Positive Control test site.
  • Other: Negative Control
    • A blank patch was applied to the Negative Control test site.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Cumulative Irritation Test
    • Participants received butenafine HCl 1% cream on the skin test site, 0.3% solution of sodium lauryl sulfate on the skin Positive Control test site, and a blank patch on the skin Negative Control test site daily (excluding weekends) for 21 days, or 15 applications.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Cumulative Irritation Total (CIT) Score
    • Time Frame: 21 days
    • Prior to each patch application and after the last patch removal, the test sites were evaluated for gross changes according to the Erythema Scoring Scale: 0 = No visible erythema; 0.5 = Slight, barely perceptible erythema; 1 = Mild erythema; 2 = Moderate erythema; 3 = Marked erythema; 4 = Severe erythema. The Cumulative Irritation Total is generated by totaling the Erythema Scoring Scale scores of the Investigational Product for each subject completing the trial and then adding those totals. Data is being reported for all the 30 participants as a group.
