safety and efficacy study of subjects with onychomycosis of the great toenail

Conditions: Onychomycosis

Summary: the purpose of the study is to determine the safety and efficacy of 5.0% and 7.5% an2690 solution in the treatment of distal, subungual onychomycosis of the great target toenail.

the first group of 30 protocol-qualified subjects will be assigned to treatment group 1 and given 5% an2690 solution. provided that there is adequate evidence of clinical safety after two weeks of dosing with 5% an2690 solution, a second group of 30 protocol-qualified subjects will be assigned to treatment group 2 and given 7.5% an2690 solution. a third group of 30 subjects will be enrolled and assigned the highest safe concentration of an2690 evaluated in this study.
