Active clinical trials for "Impetigo"

This is a Phase 2 study evaluating the safety, tolerability, systemic exposure, and activity of topical ATx201 GEL (2% and 4%) treatment for 1, 2, or 5 days in outpatients with primary nonbullous or bullous impetigo.

The purpose of the study is to show non inferiority in terms of safety and efficacy of topical administration BID (Twice daily) of Mupirocin Gel 20 mg/g compared to topical administration of Mupirocin Ointment 20 mg/g TID (three times daily) (Bactroban) in the treatment of impetigo in paediatric population.

Lymphatic Filariasis (LF), scabies and soil transmitted helminths (STH) are common neglected tropical diseases affecting the people of Fiji. There is a dedicated LF eradication program supported by the World Health Organization (WHO), however scabies and STH are currently managed on an individual level with symptomatic treatment as required. In an attempt to reduce the prevalence of LF globally, research is being undertaken into alternative, more effective treatment options. A recent study in Papua New Guinea demonstrated a new triple drug therapy (ivermectin, diethylcarbamazine and albendazole) is superior to the currently recommended two drug therapy (diethylcarbamazine and albendazole) used by WHO LF programs in the Pacific. However, adverse events were more frequent. Despite no serious adverse events being observed, it is necessary to conduct further studies to review the safety of this new triple therapy before it can be endorsed as an effective mass drug administration (MDA) regimen for LF in endemic countries. Fiji's burden of LF, that has been recalcitrant to previous MDA with diethylcarbamazine and albendazole, make it an ideal site to obtain further efficacy and safety data of the triple therapy. Ivermectin given to communities as MDA has been proven to be effective in reducing the community prevalence of scabies. What is not known is the effects of one dose versus two doses of ivermectin as MDA. This question will be reviewed within the design of the community randomized study. The prevalence of impetigo in a community is linked to scabies and this will also be reviewed. Ivermectin and albendazole are both effective individually against STH. The effectiveness of this combination of treatment as MDA in Fiji for STH has not been studied. The effectiveness for the individual in the short-term and the community in the longer-term will be reviewed. In addition, the acceptability and feasibility of the new therapy in communities at risk of these three diseases will be reviewed.

A national, prospective single arm phase II study investigating the pharmacokinetics and safety of the 2% TD1414 cream when applied 3 times daily for 7 days to adult patients with impetigo or Secondarily Infected Traumatic Lesions (SITL). A total of 20 patients will be enrolled.

The goal of this study is to determine if topical SB-275833 ointment, 1% is as safe and effective as topical sodium fusidate ointment, 2% for the treatment of impetigo in adults and children as young as 9 months of age.

This study will be a multicenter, randomized, vehicle controlled, parallel, group, double blind study. Eligible subjects with a clinical diagnosis of impetigo will be randomized to one of four treatment groups: 1.5% CD07223 Topical Gel applied BID; 1.5% CD07223 Topical Gel applied TID; Vehicle Topical Gel applied BID;Vehicle Topical Gel applied TID. All treatments will be administered for 7 days. Disease activity for the Target Lesion will be evaluated using the Skin Infection Rating Scale (SIRS) Score.

This is multicenter, randomised, placebo controlled, parallel, double blinded , superiority clinical study comparing ozenoxacin cream versus placebo, in patients with a clinical diagnosis of non-bullous or bullous impetigo.

This is multicenter, randomised, placebo controlled, parallel, blinded (double-blind for ozenoxacin versus placebo comparison and investigator blinded for retapamulin versus placebo comparison), superiority clinical study comparing ozenoxacin cream versus placebo and retapamulin ointment vs placebo, in patients with a clinical diagnosis of non-bullous or bullous impetigo.

This is an open-label prospective community intervention trial to assess the impact of community mass treatment with azithromycin for yaws and ivermectin for scabies, on non-yaws bacterial skin infections. Communities will be randomised to receive standard treatment for both yaws and scabies either in parallel (site 1) or in sequence (site 2). Treatment of yaws: Single dose of Azithromycin (30mg/kg, max 2G). Treatment of scabies: Either an oral dose of Ivermectin (200μg/kg) or permethrin cream for those with a contraindication to Ivermectin (WT<15kg, pregnant or breastfeeding women) given in 2 doses 7-14 days apart. Investigators will complete a clinical and microbiological assessment of bacterial skin disease at baseline and at 12 months to assess the impact of treatment on the prevalence of bacterial infection and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Primary Outcome Difference in the change in prevalence of impetigo between baseline and 12- months between the parallel and the sequential treatment arms. Secondary Outcomes Change in the proportion of swab samples from which S. pyogenes is cultured between baseline and follow-up in the two arms The proportion of samples from which a drug-resistant isolate of S.pyogenes is cultured in the two arms

This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of topical p-menthane-3,8-diol (PMD)-rich Corymbia Citriodora oil (Citriodiol®) in children with impetigo. Citriodiol® is already known to be effective as an insect repellent and is safe in its topical application. The investigators have also found in our laboratory that it is bactericidal against Staphylococcus aureus, the bacteria responsible for causing impetigo. Parents are always searching for a natural alternative to antibiotics (the current gold standard treatment for impetigo), and the investigators believe Citriodiol® could provide this possible alternative.
