• 6alpha,9-Difluoro-11beta-hydroxy-16alpha-methyl-21-valeryloxy-1,4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione (diflucortolone valerate, Nerisona) in the forms of cream, ointment and fatty ointment was investigated against 5 commercial preparations with beta-methasone-17-valerate, fluocinonide, fluocinolone acetonide, flumetasone pivalate and desoximetasone in 15 simultaneously conducted and multicentre-clinical studies-all on double-blind contralateral studies-involving a total of 1923 patients. The Nerisona preparations proved to be highly effective-particularly in eczematous diseases- and comparable to the above-mentioned commercial preparations. Nerisona ointment was shown to be superior to flumetasone cream. The statistical reliability of such data is discussed.
