Published Studies Related to Erythromycin and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel (Erythromycin / Benzoyl Peroxide Topical)
A randomized, single-blind comparison of topical clindamycin + benzoyl peroxide (Duac) and erythromycin + zinc acetate (Zineryt) in the treatment of mild to moderate facial acne vulgaris. [2007.03]
CONCLUSIONS: CDP + BPO and ERY + Zn are effective treatments for acne but CDP + BPO has an earlier onset of action that should improve patient compliance.
A randomized, parallel, vehicle-controlled comparison of two erythromycin/benzoyl peroxide preparations for acne vulgaris. [2002.05]
BACKGROUND: Topical erythromycin/benzoyl peroxide (EBP), marketed for acne treatment, must be compounded by a pharmacist and requires subsequent refrigeration, warranting the development of alternate formulations. OBJECTIVE: This trial compared the efficacy and tolerability of a single-use EBP combination package (EBP Pak) with those of its matching vehicle control (VC Pak) and the original, reconstituted formulation packaged in a jar (EBP Jar). The matching VC for the original formulation (VC Jar) was used to achieve study blinding... CONCLUSIONS: Results of this 8-week trial demonstrate that the single-use combination package of EBP is well tolerated, effective, and comparable to the original formulation for the treatment of acne vulgaris in this selected patient population.
The efficacy and safety of a combination benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin topical gel compared with benzoyl peroxide alone and a benzoyl peroxide/erythromycin combination product. [2001.01]
BACKGROUND: Topical clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide have each demonstrated clinical efficacy in the treatment of acne vulgaris. When used in tandem, they promise greater efficacy than either individual agent through their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy and safety of combination benzoyl peroxide/ clindamycin compared with benzoyl peroxide or benzoyl peroxide/erythromycin in the treatment of acne... CONCLUSION: Benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin demonstrated improved efficacy and similar tolerability; to benzoyl peroxide used alone and was similar to benzoyl peroxide/ erythromycin, making this combination product an effective alternative antimicrobial therapy for acne.
The comparative efficacy of benzoyl peroxide 5%/erythromycin 3% gel and erythromycin 4%/zinc 1.2% solution in the treatment of acne vulgaris. [1997.02]
This randomized 10-week study compared the efficacy of benzoyl peroxide 5%/erythromycin 3% gel with erythromycin 4%/zinc 1.2% solution in 72 acne vulgaris patients. Physician global evaluations were significantly more improved (P < or = 0.05) in the benzoyl peroxide 5%/erythromycin 3% gel treatment group compared to erythromycin 4%/zinc 1.2% solution at week 2 and at each subsequent biweekly clinical visit...
Efficiency of benzoyl peroxide-erythromycin gel in comparison with metronidazole gel in the treatment of acne rosacea. [2004.08]

Clinical Trials Related to Erythromycin and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel (Erythromycin / Benzoyl Peroxide Topical)
The Effect of Intravenous Erythromycin on Gastric Emptying in Non-Fasted Patients Before Emergency Total Anesthesia [Recruiting]
Urgent or emergency surgery requires that fasting rules observed in elective settings are
not respected. Patients in the emergency situation have often ingested food or liquids in
their stomach and may have swallowed blood from oral or nasal injuries. Also, gastric
emptying is delayed due to the stress of trauma. Patients who are anesthetized in such
conditions are at risk of "vomiting" (regurgitation) during the start of anesthesia and that
the content of the stomach reaches the trachea and lungs (this is called bronchoaspiration).
Fortunately the incidence of aspiration is low, about 1. 4 to 6 in 10'000 anaesthetics, and
about 1 in 100'000 patients is likely to die due to aspiration. Thus, although episodes of
broncho-aspiration are rare, efficacious prevention of this potentially lethal complication
is important. One method to reduce the risk of broncho-aspiration during induction of
anaesthesia is the pharmacological reduction of the gastric content (i. e. pre-treatment).
The intention of this study is to investigate the efficacy of erythromycin in emptying the
stomach of non-fasted surgical patients before induction of anaesthesia in the emergency
setting.
Effectiveness of Antibiotic Treatment for Reducing Binge Eating and Improving Digestive Function in People With Bulimia Nervosa [Recruiting]
This study will determine the effectiveness of the antibiotic erythromycin in enhancing
gastrointestinal function and decreasing the frequency of binge eating in people with
bulimia nervosa.
The Effect of Erythromycin on Occurrence of Leaks From Cervical Esophageal-Gastric Anastomosis After Trans-Hiatal Esophagectomy [Not yet recruiting]
Cervical anastomotic leak is one of the most common complications after trans-hiatal
esophagectomy.
Hypothesis: An early post operative administration of a pro-kinetic dosage of erythromycin
will reduce leak occurrence.
Design: This is a prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study.
Number of patients: 30.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients after trans-hiatal esophagectomy
Exclusion Criteria:
- Allergy to erythromycin
- Use of phenothiazine
- QT prolongation
- Liver function test (LFT) abnormalities
- Myasthenia gravis
- Cardiomyopathy
To Evaluate The Effect Of Ketoconazole, Ritonavir and Erythromycin on the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Avanafil [Not yet recruiting]
This study is being conducted to examine the effect of three CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole,
erythromycin and ritonavir) on the single dose pharmacokinetics of avanafil. Ketoconazole and
ritonavir are potent inhibitors of CYP3A4 and erythromycin is a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor.
Any interaction that is observed would be predictive of other inhibitors of CYP3A4.
A Study of Verutex (Fusidic Acid), Eritex (Erythromycin) and Fisiogel in the Management of Tarceva-Associated Rash. [Recruiting]
This 3 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of three different dermatological
creams designed for prophylaxis of skin rash associated with Tarceva treatment in patients
with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Eligible patients who have
recently started Tarceva treatment will be randomized to one of 3 groups, to receive daily
treatment with Verutex, Eritex or Fisiogel cream for 30 days, and the incidence and severity
of skin rash will be assessed. The anticipated time on study treatment is <3 months, and the
target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
