Prospective Two-Year Study to Assess Miconazole Nitrate Resistance in Neonates and Infants

• Number of Participants With Overall Cure (OC) [ Time Frame: Test-of-cure visit (Day 14) of initial treatment episode ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  OC was defined as both clinical (therapeutic) cure with total resolution of signs/symptoms (no clinical signs of infection) and microbiological cure with mycological eradication (both negative potassium hydroxide [KOH] and culture results). Participants who had OC were categorized as "Successes"; those without OC were categorized as "Failures." Any discontinued or lost to follow-up participant was also considered a failure.
  
  

• Number of Participants With Clinical Cure [ Time Frame: Test-of-cure visit (Day 14) of initial treatment episode ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  Participants were evaluated for clinical cure, which was defined as therapeutic cure with total resolution of signs and symptoms (i.e., no clinical signs of infection). Participants who had clinical cure were categorized as "Successes"; those without clianical cure were categorized as "Failures." Any discontinued or lost to follow-up participant was also considered a failure.
  
  
• Number of Participants With Mycological Cure [ Time Frame: Test-of-cure visit (Day 14) of initial treatment episode ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  Participants were evaluated for mycological cure, which was defined as mycological eradication with negative KOH and culture results. Participants who had mycological cure were categorized as "Successes"; those without mycological cure were categorized as "Failures." Any discontinued or lost to follow-up participant was also considered a failure.
  
  
• Clinical Evaluations Using the Diaper Dermatitis Severity Index Score for Initial Treatment Episode [ Time Frame: Test-of-cure visit (Day 14) of initial treatment episode ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  The diaper dermatitis severity index score was calculated as the sum of severity grades for each parameter evaluated (erythema, papules or pustules, and erosions) for the initial treatment episode. The maximum score possible for the diaper dermatitis severity index is 8. Rating scale for Erythema: 0 (none to trace), 1 (mild [pink]), 2 (moderate [red]), 3 (severe [beefy red]). Rating scale for Papules or Pustules: 0 (none to trace [0]), 1 (few [1-10]), 2 (multiple [11-20]), 3 (many [21-40]), 4 (abundant [more than 40]. Rating scale for Erosions: 0 (absent), 1 (present).
  
  
• Clinical Evaluations Using Change From Baseline in the Dermatitis Severity Index Score at Day 14 of the Initial Treatment Episode [ Time Frame: Test-of-cure visit (Day 14) of initial treatment episode ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  The diaper dermatitis severity index score was calculated as the sum of severity grades for each parameter evaluated (erythema, papules or pustules, and erosions). Change from baseline=baseline value minus Day 14 value. The maximum score possible for the diaper dermatitis severity index is 8. Rating scale for Erythema: 0 (none to trace), 1 (mild [pink]), 2 (moderate [red]), 3 (severe [beefy red]). Rating scale for Papules or Pustules: 0 (none to trace [0]), 1 (few [1-10]), 2 (multiple [11-20]), 3 (many [21-40]), 4 (abundant [more than 40]. Rating scale for Erosions: 0 (absent), 1 (present).
  
  
• Number of Participants With Overall Cure (OC) of First to Third Recurrent Episodes (RE) [ Time Frame: Test-of-cure (TOC) visit (Day 14) of first to third recurrent episodes (up to approximately 1 year and 7 months) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  OC was defined as both clinical (therapeutic) cure with total resolution of signs/symptoms (no clinical signs of infection) and microbiological cure with mycological eradication (both negative potassium hydroxide and culture results) at TOC visit for initial episode (ep.) to third ep. Participants (par) who had OC were categorized as "Successes"; those without OC were categorized as "Failures" (discontinued/lost to follow-up par were also failures). A RE is not temporally associated with a prior episode (PE) irrespective of whether the PE involves continuing treatment with study medication.
  
  
• Number of Participants With Clinical Cure of First to Third Recurrent Episodes [ Time Frame: Test-of-cure visit (Day 14) of first to third recurrent episodes (up to approximately 1 year and 7 months) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  Participants were evaluated for clinical cure, which was defined as therapeutic cure with total resolution of signs and symptoms (i.e., no clinical signs of infection). Participants who had clinical cure were categorized as "Successes"; those without clinical cure were categorized as "Failures." Any discontinued or lost to follow-up participant was also considered a failure.
  
  
• Number of Participants With Mycological Cure of First to Third Recurrent Episodes [ Time Frame: Test-of-cure visit (Day 14) of first to third recurrent episodes (up to approximately 1 year and 7 months) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  Participants were evaluated for mycological cure, which was defined as mycological eradication with negative KOH and culture results. Participants who had mycological cure were categorized as "Successes"; those without mycological cure were categorized as "Failures." Any discontinued or lost to follow-up participant was also considered a failure.
  
  

The objective of this study is to investigate the potential for the development of resistance in Candida spp. after repeated treatment courses of 0.25% miconazole nitrate ointment in neonates and infants up to one year of age.
