- Efficacy Assessed by Complete Cure Rate at the End of Study (Week 52) After Treating for 52 Weeks [ Time Frame: week 52 ]
Complete cure is defined as negative KOH microscopy and negative culture for dermatophytes.
and no residual involvement of the target toenail. The complete cure is a composite binary variable defined as "Yes" if:
- Mycological cure (negative KOH and negative culture for dermatophytes) and
- No residual involvement of the target toenail "No" if otherwise
- Efficacy Assessed by Clinical Efficacy at the End of Study After Treating Patients for 52 Weeks. [ Time Frame: week 52 ]
Clinical effectiveness is defined as negative KOH microscopy and negative culture for dermatophytes and <= 10% residual involvement of the target toenail.Clinical effectiveness is a composite binary variable defined as "Yes" if
- Mycological cure (negative KOH and negative culture for dermatophytes) and ◦= 10% residual involvement of the target toenail "No" if otherwise
- Efficacy Assessed by Mycological Cure (Negative Culture and Negative KOH Microscopy) at the End of Study After Treating Patients for 52 Weeks. [ Time Frame: week 52 ]
Mycological cure is defined as negative KOH microscopy and negative culture for dermatophytes.
Mycological cure is a composite binary variable defined as "Yes"if :
- Negative microscopy and
- Negative culture for dermatophytes "No" if otherwise.
- Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 [ Time Frame: week 52 ]
