miconazole and Otomycosis

miconazole has been researched along with Otomycosis in 1 studies

Miconazole: An imidazole antifungal agent that is used topically and by intravenous infusion.
1-[2-(2,4-dichlorobenzyloxy)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl]imidazole : A member of the class of imidazoles that is 1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(imidazol-1-yl)ethanol in which the hydroxyl hydrogen is replaced by a 2,4-dichlorobenzyl group.
miconazole : A racemate composed of equimolar amounts of (R)- and (S)-miconazole. Used (as its nitrate salt) to treat skin infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm and other fungal skin infections. It inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of fungal cell membranes.

Otomycosis: Fungus infection of the external ear, usually by ASPERGILLUS species

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The evidence is very uncertain about the effect of clotrimazole on clinical resolution of otomycosis, on significant adverse events or other (non-serious) adverse events when compared with other topical azoles (eberconazole, fluconazole, miconazole)."5.12Topical azole treatments for otomycosis.

Trial Outcomes

Changes in Signs/ Symptoms

"The secondary efficacy variables include:~Proportion of subjects with signs and symptoms score of 0 at Day 15~Proportion of subjects with signs and symptoms score of 0 at Day 24~Proportion of subjects with a negative culture for fungus or presumed eradication (mycological cure) on Day 24." (NCT01993823)

Proportion of Subjects With a Complete Response to Treatment

"Efficacy will be assessed primarily by evaluation of the fungal culture, and the sum of signs and symptom scores (pruritus, otalgia, otorrhea and aural fullness obstruction to be scored as 0=absent; 1= mild; 2=moderate; 3=severe). The primary efficacy variable is the proportion of subjects with a negative culture for fungus, AND a signs and symptom score of 0 on Day 24.~Response to the study treatment was classed according to the following definitions:~Complete response: Negative fungal culture or presumed eradication on day 24, and sum score for signs and symptoms = 0 on day 24.~Partial response: Negative culture or presumed eradication on day 24, and sum score for signs and symptoms = 1 or 2 on day 24.~No response: Positive culture on day 24 or negative culture or presumed eradication and sum score for signs and symptoms > 2 on day 24."
