Brief Summary  

This is a double-blind, multicentric, randomized, parallel group, comparative bioequivalence study with clinical end-point to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fixed dose combination of clotrimazole 1% w/w + hydrocortisone 1 % w/w cream in comparision with the canesten HC cream for the treatment of fungal skin infection with co-existing symptoms of inflammation. A total of 224 male and female subjects with who pass inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study. Primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of fixed dose combination. Visit 1 will be screening visit at day -5 to 0, visit 2 will be randomization visit at day 1, visit 3 will be evaluation .end of therapy visit at day 7±1, visit 3 will be end of therapy visit/test of cure visit at day 14±1, visit 5 will be test of cure visit/test of sustainable cure visit at day 21 ±1, visit 6 will be test of sustainable cure visit at 28 ±1 day. Primary end point will be measured by subjects with mycological cure at test of cure visit (negative KOH test) and test of sustainable cure visit. Secondary visit will be subjective assessment, objective assessment and physician’s global assessment. Safety assessment will be done by measuring incidence and nature of adverse events, incidence of drug related adverse events, changes in vital signs from baseline to end of study, changes in haematology and biochemistry.
