title: [Non-European open clinical studies on the efficacy and tolerance of ciclopiroxolamine in dermatomycoses (author's transl)].
abstract: A survey is given of twenty published open clinical studies carried out outside Europe. They concern the topical action of 6-cyclohexyl-1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2(1H)-pyridone, 2-aminoethanol salt (ciclopiroxolamine, Cic, Hoe 296, Batrafen) in 991 cases of skin disorders, mostly mycoses. 70.7% of the disorders were dermatophytoses, 18.9% candidoses. 6.1% pityriasis versicolor, and 4.2% other skin infections. Four trials were done with 1% Cic cream (o/w-type-emulsion) in 157 dermal disorders and 16 trials with 1% Cic solution (vehicle: polyethylene glycol 400) in 834 cases. Several selected studies are reported in detail, the other are parts of a summarizing survey. After a treatment period which, as a rule, was limited to 3 weeks, the global success rate was 96% (healing and distinct improvement). Any side effects were only seldom recorded.
