About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group, Dose-ranging Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of 4 Dose Regimens of Oral Albaconazole in Subjects With Distal Subungual Onychomycosis

Phase 2 study to examine how the study drug works and its side effects in subjects with toenail fungus.

Read the detailed description

A phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose-ranging study to investigate the efficacy and safety of 4 dose regimens of ORAL albaconazole in subjects with distal subungual onychomycosis. Subjects will take oral study drug for up to 36 weeks and then will be followed for an additional 16 weeks to determine if the study drug was efficacious. Subjects will have routine blood draws and other safety assessments during the study, as well as regular assessments of their toenail fungus

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Effective Treatment at Week 52

    At each study visit, the investigator assessed the percentage of affected toenail on the target nail by estimating the percent affected nail in each quadrant, summing the percent affected in each quadrant and dividing the sum by 4. Effective treatment was defined as a mycological cure and clear or almost clear nail (distal subungual hyperkeratosis and/or onycholysis leaving less than 10% of nail plate effected). Comparisons were carried out in a sequential step-down fashion, combined with the Holm procedure at step 2. P-value was based on a sequential step-down combined with the Holm procedure. It was assessed on Week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 44 and 52.

    Measured: Week 52

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Clinical Cure at Week 52

    At each study visit, the investigator assessed the percentage of affected toenail on the target nail by estimating the percent affected nail in each quadrant, summing the percent affected in each quadrant and dividing the sum by 4. Clinical cure was defined as 100% clear nail. It was assessed on Week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 44 and 52.

    Measured: Week 52

  2. The Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Mycological Cure at Week 52

    At each study visit, the investigator assessed the percentage of affected toenail on the target nail by estimating the percent affected nail in each quadrant, summing the percent affected in each quadrant and dividing the sum by 4. Mycological cure was defined as negative potassium hydroxide (KOH) and negative cultures for dermatophytes. It was assessed on Week 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 44 and 52.

    Measured: Week 52

  3. The Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Complete Cure at Week 52

    At each study visit, the investigator assessed the percentage of affected toenail on the target nail by estimating the percent affected nail in each quadrant, summing the percent affected in each quadrant and dividing the sum by 4. Complete cure was defined as mycological cure plus clinical cure. It was assessed on Week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 44 and 52.

    Measured: Week 52

  4. Absolute Change in Unaffected Part of Target Nail From Baseline to Week 52

    Length of the unaffected part of the target nail was measured in millimeters along the midpoint from the nail fold to the proximal border of the affected part (lowest point affected) along the midpoint of the target nail. It was assessed on Week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 44 and 52. Baseline values were the observations at Week 0/Day 1 or before. Change from Baseline was a Baseline value subtracted from Week 52 value. P-value was based on analysis of variance (ANOVA) with treatment and pooled center. Statistics is provided for adjusted least square mean.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0/Day 1 or before) and up to Week 52

  5. The Percentage of Participants With a Global Change Score of Cleared or Much Improved at Week 52

    A count of the number of toenails affected, using visual examination, was performed at all study visits (Week 12, 24, 30, 36, 44 and 52). The investigator given a global evaluation of the toenails condition, based on the investigator's assessment of the reduction in extent of nail involvement and improvement in clinical signs as compared with the status at the Baseline visit. The 0-5 rating scale was used: 0: cleared, 1: much improved, 2: minimally improved, 3: unchanged, 4: minimally worse and 5: much worse; where higher score indicates worse condition and lower score indicates clear toenail.

    Measured: Week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Albaconazole 100mg, Albaconazole 200mg and Albaconazole 400mg in people with Onychomycosis, run by Stiefel, a GSK Company at 33 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 33 sites in United States, Canada, Iceland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Feb 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Effective Treatment at Week 52 (time frame: Week 52). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00730405, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Mar 2018.
