Trial ID Title Status Sponsor Phase Start Date Summary
NCT00004575 ↗ Effects of Miconazole on Blood Flow Completed National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Phase 1 2000-02-01 This study will investigate the effect of the drug miconazole on blood vessel dilation. Miconazole stops production of EDHF, a substance that causes arteries to dilate. EDHF is produced by the cells that line blood vessels. Normal volunteers between the ages of 21 to 60 may participate in this study. Candidates will be screened for eligibility with a medical history, physical examination, electrocardiogram and routine laboratory tests. Those enrolled will be injected with miconazole to study its effects on blood vessels. Study participants will take three aspirin tablets. After administration of a local anesthetic, small tubes will be inserted through a needle into the artery and vein of the forearm. These will be used to measure blood pressure and to draw blood samples during the study. Forearm blood flow will be measured using pressure cuffs placed on the wrist and upper arm, and a strain gauge (a rubber band device) placed around the forearm. When the cuffs are inflated, blood will flow into the arm, stretching the strain gauge, and the flow measurement will be recorded. Small doses of four drugs-bradykinin, sodium nitroprusside, miconazole, and LNMMA-will be given through the arterial catheter. Bradykinin stimulates the release of EDHF and can lower blood pressure. Sodium nitroprusside causes blood vessels to dilate and is used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. Miconazole is commonly prescribed to treat various infections, including vaginal yeast infections, jock itch and athlete's foot. In much higher doses, it is used to treat fungal infections that have spread to the lungs, brain, kidneys, or bladder. LNMMA inhibits production of nitric oxide, another substance produced by the lining cells of blood vessels. Blood flow will be measured throughout the study, which will last approximately 3 hours.
NCT00128323 ↗ A Comparison of Gentian Violet (GV) Mouth Washes, Nystatin, and Ketoconazole Tabs in Treating Oropharyngeal Candidiasis Completed British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Phase 3 2002-11-01 In resource constrained societies and where HIV is a problem, oral thrush causes significant morbidity. In adults, ketoconazole is used and sometimes oral nystatin. Both drugs are relatively expensive compared to GV solution and ketoconazole has significant side effects especially in association with some of the treatments for HIV related problems. In children, either GV solutions or nystatin are used, GV is a fraction of the cost of nystatin. GV at 1% solution discolours the mouth (blue) and in the older child and adult would mark them out as having HIV infections. A much more dilute solution of GV has proved equally effective in vitro and would not carry the same cosmetic problem. In this study of children, the investigators have compared the 3 solutions, 1% GV, 0.00165% GV and nystatin oral drops - all masked so that they look the same - to see if GV is more effective than nystatin, and to see if the weaker solution of GV is as effective as the stronger solution.

Miconazole: Clinical Trials, Market Analysis, and Projections

Introduction to Miconazole

Miconazole is a widely used antifungal medication, effective against a variety of fungal infections, including vaginal candidiasis (VVC), skin infections, and oral candidiasis. Here, we will delve into recent clinical trials, market analysis, and future projections for miconazole.

Clinical Trials Update

Efficacy and Safety of Miconazole vs. Alternative Treatments

A recent clinical trial compared the efficacy and safety of miconazole with a probiotic treatment, LF5, for the treatment of VVC. The study found that both treatments achieved high rates of microbiological eradication of Candida spp. within a three-day treatment period, with 96% for LF5 and 94% for miconazole. However, LF5 had a significantly lower incidence of local adverse reactions (4% vs. 12% for miconazole)[1].

Treatment of Oral Candidiasis

Another study evaluated the therapeutic effects of topical miconazole and miconazole-loaded chitosan nanoparticles in treating oral candidiasis in diabetic patients. Both treatments showed comparable effectiveness in controlling symptoms and reducing Candida colonization, with no adverse reactions reported.
