A Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of DBI-001 Gel, DBI-002 Gel, and Aqueous Gel in Subjects With Tinea Pedis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a randomized, observer blinded, Aqueous Gel-controlled trial examining the effect of daily application for approximately 6-8 days of DBI-001 Gel, DBI-002 Gel, and Aqueous Gel on the subjects with interdigital tinea pedis based on Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR), and comparison between Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) and Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) for the presence of Trichophyton rubrum (T.rubrum) as well as signs and symptoms and local tolerability and toxicity on treated sites in subjects.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in abundance of T. rubrum based on Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) [14 days of participation]
Change in abundance of T. rubrum at baseline, day 7 and day 14
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events [14 days of participation]
Safety
- Changes in signs and symptoms of T. Pedis [14 days of participation]
Change from baseline in individual signs and symptoms of Tinea Pedis at days 7 and 14 of sites treated with DBI-001 Gel, DBI-002 Gel, or Aqueous Gel. The minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 3 the subject's self reported observation on local tolerability.
- Changes in the signs and symptoms and Investigators Static Global Assessment (ISGA) of Tinea Pedis [14 days of participation]
Changes from Baseline in signs and symptoms and ISGA at Days 7 and 14
- Change in abundance of T. rubrum based on qPCR and WGS [14 days of participation]
Antimicrobial efficacy
- Molecular diagnostic qPCR and WGS comparison of DBI-001 Gel, DBI-002 Gel and Aqueous Gel [14 days of participation]
Antimicrobial efficacy and microbiome community analysis
- Bacterial culture comparison of DBI-001 Gel, DBI-002 Gel and Aqueous Gel [14 days of participation]
Antimicrobial efficacy and microbiome community analysis
- Increase or decrease of colony forming units after DBI-001 Gel, DBI-002 Gel application [14 days of participation]
Antimicrobial efficacy
- Correlation between levels of DBI-001 Gel, DBI-002 Gel and abundance of T. rubrum based on qPCR [14 days of participation]
Antimicrobial efficacy
- Correlation between qPCR quantification and KOH for presence of T. rubrum at screening [28 days from screening]
Compare sensitivity and specificity of qPCR analysis and KOH for presence of T. rubrum at Screening
