Clinical Studies
Interdigital Tinea Pedis
The safety and efficacy of LUZU (luliconazole) Cream, 1% was evaluated in two randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, multi-center clinical trials in 423 subjects with a clinical and culture-confirmed diagnosis of interdigital tinea pedis. Subjects were randomized to receive LUZU Cream, 1% or vehicle. Subjects applied either LUZU Cream, 1% or vehicle cream to the entire area of the forefeet including all interdigital web spaces and approximately 2.5 cm (1 in) of the surrounding area of the foot once daily for 14 days. The mean age of the study population was 41 years; 82% were male; 53% were White and 40% were Black or African American. Signs and symptoms of tinea pedis (erythema, scaling, and pruritus), KOH exam and dermatophyte culture were assessed at baseline, end-of-treatment (Day 14), 2 and 4 weeks post-treatment. Overall treatment success was defined as complete clearance (clinical cure and mycological cure) at 4 weeks post-treatment. LUZU Cream, 1% demonstrated completed clearance in subjects with interdigital tinea pedis. Treatment outcomes at 4 weeks post-treatment are summarized in Table 1.

Tinea Cruris
The safety and efficacy of LUZU (luliconazole) Cream, 1% was evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, multi-center clinical trial in 256 subjects with a clinical and culture confirmed diagnosis of tinea cruris. Subjects were randomized to receive LUZU Cream, 1% or vehicle. Subjects applied either LUZU Cream, 1% or vehicle cream to the affected area and approximately 2.5 cm (1 in) of the surrounding area once daily for 7 days.
The mean age of the study population was 40 years; 83% were male; 58% were White and 34% were Black or African American. Signs and symptoms of tinea cruris (erythema, scaling, and pruritus), positive KOH exam and dermatophyte culture were assessed at baseline, end-of-treatment (Day 7), 2 and 3 weeks post-treatment.
Overall treatment success was defined as complete clearance (clinical cure and mycological cure) at 3 weeks post-treatment. LUZU Cream, 1% demonstrated completed clearance in subjects with tinea cruris. Treatment outcomes at 3 weeks post treatment are summarized in Table 2.[1]
