Active clinical trials for "Impetigo"

The Research Question of the present study is the following: in a population of men and women affected by acne vulgaris, impetigo, and folliculitis, will Ialuxid® Gel (hydrogen peroxide, hyaluronic acid and glycine) improve the course of the disease, resulting in a decrease of the total number of lesions, results observed after 4 and 8 weeks after the beginning of the treatment?

Study the efficacy of a package of behavioral economics strategies (versus an education-only control condition) in altering clinician behavior regarding antibiotic prescription duration for skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI).

To investigate the clinical and bacteriological efficacy of Fucidin® cream in the treatment of impetigo in paediatric patients. To assess the validity of in vitro susceptibility-testing of S. aureus to fusidic acid as a prediction of clinical and bacteriological outcome in impetigo patients treated with Fucidin® cream. To investigate the genetic relationship between S. aureus-strains isolated from impetigo patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the topical antibiotic LTX-109 in terms of clinical and microbiological response in treatment of impetigo.

The purpose of this study is to document the clinical and bacteriological efficacy of retapamulin in the treatment of subjects with bacterial infections, including impetigo, folliculitis, and minor soft tissue infections including secondarily infected eczema presumed to be caused by methicillin resistant Staph aureus. Male and female patients ages 9 months to 98 years will be recruited from a university based dermatology clinic. Upon enrollment, wound cultures will be collected, and then subjects will apply topical retapamulin twice daily for five days. The primary endpoint will be resolution of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection based on clinical presentation and physical exam, as well as bacteriological efficacy based on culture results. It is anticipated that approximately 75 patients will be enrolled, with expectation that approximately 50 of these patients will have MRSA infections.

This is a randomized, double-blind study comparing 0.1% NVC-422, 0.5% NVC-422 and 1.5% NVC-422 topical gel in children with impetigo.

Impetigo is a common, highly infectious skin disease caused by bacterial infection and characterized by crusting skin lesions. It is most common in children, particularly children in unhealthy living conditions. In adults, it may follow other skin disorders. Impetigo is caused primarily by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes and/or Staphylococcus aureus, which can also be isolated from impetigo lesions. This is a pilot phase II study to evaluate the tolerability and safety and to monitor the clinical efficacy of Topical Minocycline Foam FXFM244 in impetigo patients.

An international, multi-centre, prospective three arm parallel-group, phase II proof of concept study comparing the efficacy and safety of two dosage regimens (BID 7 days and TID 7 days) of TD1414 2% cream and one dosage regimen (BID 7 days) of Bactroban® (mupirocin) 2% cream in adults and children down to 2 years of age with impetigo or SITL. Furthermore an evaluation of the pharmacokinetics of TD1414 2% cream TID for 7 days will be performed. A total of 664 patients will be enrolled in a stepwise manner according to age groups starting with the oldest age group.

The purpose of this study is to provide further evidence of the clinical and bacteriological efficacy of retapamulin in the treatment of subjects with SITL or impetigo due to MRSA. Subjects aged 2 months and older will be treated with either topical retapamulin for 5 days or oral linezolid for 10 days. The primary endpoint is the clinical response at follow-up (7-9 days after the end of therapy) in subjects who have a MRSA infection at baseline. The primary population is the per-protocol MRSA population. It is anticipated that approximately 500 subjects may be enrolled in order to obtain approximately 105 subjects who have a baseline MRSA infection.

The goal of this study is to determine if topical SB-275833 ointment, 1% is more effective than a placebo ointment in the treatment of primary impetigo.
