About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Next Science Wound Gel in the Treatment of Mild to Moderate Distal Subungual Onychomycosis (DSO): An Open-Label Pilot Study

This is a 52 week, 20-patient open-label pilot study on the safety and efficacy of Next Science Wound gel in the treatment of mild to moderate Distal Subungual Onychomycosis.

Read the detailed description

Patients will apply Next Science Wound Gel daily to each study treatment hallux nail for 48 weeks once approved for participation. Analysis will be attained via potassium hydroxide examination (KOH test), nail culture, PCR analysis, and photographic imaging. Subjects may have both hallux nails sampled at screening for culture and KOH testing if both hallux nails appear to meet the criteria for study inclusion. Only subjects with both a positive culture and KOH examination will start study treatment. Subjects may have repeat KOH and culture testing both performed if the first screening test results in at least one of the tests being negative. At investigator's discretion, other affected toenails besides the study target hallux nail may be treated but will not be included for analysis. Patients will come for in-clinic visits at screening, baseline/randomization visit/week 0, week 4, week 8, week 12, week 24, week 36, week 48, and week 52.

If subjects achieve complete cure (as defined by mycological cure and 0% nail involvement) prior to Week 48, patients will be encouraged to continue in the trial with active treatment for the full protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mycological Cure at 48 Weeks

    Mycological cure rate at week 48 as defined by negative potassium hydroxide examination and negative culture of the target hallux nail

    Measured: Baseline to 48 Weeks

  2. Clinical Efficacy at 48 Weeks

    Clinical efficacy rate at week 48 as defined by less than 10% clinical involvement of the target hallux nail

    Measured: Baseline to 48 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Complete Cure at Week 48

    Complete cure rate at week 48 defined as 0% clinical involvement, negative potassium hydroxide examination and negative culture of the target hallux nail

    Measured: Baseline to 48 Weeks

  2. Complete Cure at Week 52

    Complete cure rate at week 52 defined as 0% clinical involvement, negative mycology, and negative potassium hydroxide examination of the target hallux nail at week 52

    Measured: Baseline to 52 Weeks

  3. Almost Complete Cure at Week 48

    Almost complete cure rate at week 48 defined as less than 10% clinical involvement, negative potassium hydroxide examination, and negative culture of the target hallux nail at week 48

    Measured: Baseline to 48 Weeks

  4. Almost Complete Cure at Week 52

    Almost complete cure rate at week 52 defined as less than 10% clinical involvement, negative potassium hydroxide examination, and negative culture of the target hallux nail at Week 52

    Measured: Baseline to Week 52

  5. Time to Complete Cure

    Measured across all observation points

    Measured: Baseline to 52 Weeks

  6. Time to Almost Complete Cure

    Measured across all observation points

    Measured: Baseline to 52 Weeks

  7. Percent Change in Area of Nail Involvement

    Calculated as a ratio of clear to involved measured across all observation points

    Measured: Baseline to 52 Weeks

  8. Growth of Clear Nail

    Change in area of clear nail growth measured across all observation points

    Measured: Baseline to 52 Weeks

  9. Mycological Cure Rate

    Changes in mycological cure rates (Changes in the proportion of subjects who achieved mycological cure, defined as negative culture and potassium hydroxide examination) measured across all observation points

    Measured: Baseline to 52 Weeks

  10. Dermatopyhyte Identification and Characterization

    Changes in the types of dermatophytes dermatophytes across all observation points

    Measured: Baseline to 52 Weeks

  11. Overall Fungal Species

    Change types of overall fungal species across all observation points

    Measured: Baseline to 52 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Next Science Treatment Gel in people with Onychomycosis of Toenail, run by Next Science TM at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 13 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

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

Contact Dianne Porral (8555642762, dporral@nextscience.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mycological Cure at 48 Weeks (time frame: Baseline to 48 Weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 2 Aug 2019.
