Deposition of Terbinafine After Iontophoretic Application of ETS Terbinafine Gel in Subjects With Distal Subungual Onychomycosis in the Great Toenail

October 18, 2012 updated by: Nitric BioTherapeutics, Inc

An Unblinded Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Deposition of Terbinafine in the Nail Bed After Iontophoretic Application of ETS Terbinafine Gel in Subjects With Distal Subungual Onychomycosis in the Great Toenail

The purpose of this study is to determine how much terbinafine is delivered to the nail bed after treatment with a number of modifications to a previously studied method for iontophoretic delivery of terbinafine gel. Iontophoretic delivery involves the use of a small electric charge to deliver drug across skin and nails.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Level of terbinafine in the nail bed (ng/mg)
Time Frame: Day 28
Day 28
Plasma terbinafine levels (ng/ml)
Time Frame: Day 28
Day 28

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Number of treatment emergent adverse events (AEs)& Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: 60 days
60 days

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.
