[Clinical results with the antimycotic agent ciclopiroxolamine (author's transl)]. 1981

W Adam, and H G Peil, and C Savopoulos, and O Vanderbeke

After a brief account of the laboratory and animal studies of 6-cyclohexyl-1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2(1H)-pyridone, 2-aminoethanol salt (ciclopiroxolamine, Cic, Hoe 296, Batrafen) and an outline of previous clinical trials, the results of a double-blind trial with Cic cream and clotrimazole cream are reported, together with those of a large-scale trial of Cic cream in consulting practice. Used for the treatment of skin disorders diagnosed as mycoses, the effectiveness rate of Cic cream ranged from 79 to 98%, depending on the criterion used for assessment. The double-blind trial did not reveal any significant differences between its effect and that of clotrimazole cream. The incidence of side-effects can be regarded as minimal.
