A Study of Econazole Foam 1% in Athlete's Foot

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Tinea Pedis, Athlete's Foot

In brief

This is a 6-week clinical study (4 weeks of treatment, once per day, plus a 2-week follow-up period) of a topical foam to treat athlete's foot. The active ingredient in the foam -- econazole nitrate 1% -- is the same active pharmaceutical ingredient in a cream that your doctor can currently prescribe to treat athlete's foot. This study will help to understand if the foam works the same as the cream to treat athlete's foot.
