Filter by:This study will examine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of NVXT in a new formulation in patients with mild-to-moderate fungal infection of the toe nail.
The nail specimens from patients with suspect onychomycosis were analyzed. Samples were collected as part of standard patient care from the Department of Dermatology, National Cheng Kung University Hospital (NCKUH, a tertiary referral hospital), Tainan, Taiwan. Comparing the array results with the regular methods by sensitivity, specificity, NPV and PPV.
Several properties of VT-1161 suggest that it might be a safer and more effective treatment for onychomycosis of the toenail (also known as toenail fungus) than other oral antifungal medicines. This study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of VT-1161 for the treatment of toenail onychomycosis and consists of a screening phase, a 24-week treatment phase in which the patient will take either active drug, placebo or a combination of the 2 (according to random assignment), an initial observational phase of 36 weeks and an additional observational study extension of 9 months. The additional 9-month observational study extension was added with a protocol amendment and patient participation was optional.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether low level laser light therapy is effective in the treatment of toenail onychomycosis.
This purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of a treatment kit for ingrowing toenail, primarily by determining the number of subjects who show a reduction in the severity of their ingrowing toenail.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and efficacy of high and low strength of ME1111 solutions compared to the vehicle in the treatment of onychomycosis of the toenail.
Fungal infections of the toe affect one in three people with diabetes. Current treatments for fungal toe infections include oral medications, but these drugs often interact with other common medications. We are studying a new treatment for fungal toe infections involving the use of a laser device. We will compare to the standard treatment which is a type of antifungal medication. This laser has been tested in small numbers of patients with minimal side effects. There will be 60 participants selected for our study, of which 30 will receive standard treatment and the rest will receive laser treatment.
In a sham controlled double-blind trial we aim to establish the efficacy and safety of local application of laser therapy in patients with diabetes with onychomycosis and risk factors for diabetes related foot complications. Onychomycosis leads to thickened and distorted nails, which in turn leads to increased local pressure. The combination of onychomycosis and neuropathy or peripheral arterial disease (PAD) increases the risk of developing diabetes related foot complications. Usual care for high-risk patients with diabetes and onychomycosis is completely symptomatic with frequent skiving and clipping of the nails. No effective curative local therapies exist and systemic agents are often withheld due to concerns for side effects and interactions. Aim: The primary aim is to evaluate the efficacy of 4 sessions N-YAG 1064nM laser application on the one-year clinical and microbiological cure rate in a randomised, double-blinded sham-controlled design with blinded outcome assessment. Study population: Patients with diabetes mellitus, with an increased risk for diabetic foot ulcers. Intervention: local laser treatment from a podiatrist and the other group receives treatment according to a control procedure. The laser procedure will be performed as a sham procedure by a second podiatrist. Main study parameters/endpoints: The effect of 4 sessions of laser therapy on cure rate (clinical and microbiological) after one year.
Background: Onychomycosis, the most common nail disorder, is a superficial fungal infection affecting toenails more than fingernails. Onychomycosis can cause pain and discomfort and has the potential to be a source of morbidity. Although oral antifungal agents achieve a better complete cure rate for onychomycosis, many patients are worried about the side effects and unwilling to take oral medications. Phytonail is a mixture of herbal active ingredients including tea tree oil, lavender oil and Australian blue cypress oil with BioEqual carrier system. A preliminary trial has shown a 100% KOH negative rate in 32 nails after 12 weeks of Phytonail therapy. Amorolfine 5% nail lacquer (Loceryl) is a broad-spectrum morpholine antifungal demonstrated 60-75% mycological cure rate in several randomized controlled trials for the treatment of toenail onychomycosis. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Phytonail relative to amorolfine 5% nail lacquer in the treatment of toenail onychomycosis. Methods: This is a randomized, parallel-group, open-labeled study in adult subjects with toenail onychomycosis. In this study, 60 eligible patients will be randomized in a 1: 1 ratio to one of the two treatment groups: Phytonail or amorolfine 5% nail lacquer. Before randomization, patients are to have onychomycosis in at least one great toenail with positive KOH examination and positive fungal culture. During the treatment phase, Phytonail will be applied twice daily and amorolfine 5% nail lacquer once weekly for 16 weeks to all affected toenails. Physician's assessments and photographic analyses will be carried out at baseline, Week 4, 8, 16, and 24. Mycological evaluation including KOH examination will be performed at baseline, Week 4, 8, and 16. Fungal culture will be performed at baseline and for KOH negative patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of the PinPointe Foot Laser device for the treatment of patients with onychomycosis who have been previously treated with oral Terbinafine and failed.
