    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of luliconazole cream 1% applied once daily for 14 days in patients with interdigital tinea pedis. DESIGN: Multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, vehicle-controlled study. SETTING: Private dermatology clinics and clinical research centers in the United States and Central America. PARTICIPANTS: Three hundred twenty-two male and female patients ≥12 years of age diagnosed with interdigital tinea pedis. MEASUREMENTS: Complete clearance (i.e., clinical and mycological cure), effective treatment, and fungal culture and susceptibility. RESULTS: At study Day 42, complete clearance was obtained by a larger percentage (14.0% [15/107] vs. 2.8% [3/107]; p<0.001) of patients treated with luliconazole cream 1% compared with vehicle. Also at Day 42, more luliconazole-treated patients compared with vehicle-treated patients obtained effective treatment (32.7% vs. 15.0%), clinical cure (15.0% vs. 3.7%), and mycologic cure (56.1% vs. 27.1%). Erythema, scaling, and pruritus scores were lower for the luliconazole cream 1% group compared with vehicle on Day 14, Day 28, and Day 42. For all species and the same isolates, the MIC50/90 for luliconazole cream 1% was 6- to 12-fold lower than for other agents tested. No patients discontinued treatment because of a treatment-emergent adverse event. CONCLUSION: Luliconazole cream 1% was safe and well-tolerated and demonstrated significantly greater efficacy than vehicle cream in patients with interdigital tinea pedis.
