Chart Review of the Efficacy of the GenesisPlus 1064 nm Nd:YAG Laser in the Treatment of Onychomycosis

May 12, 2015 updated by: Jason K Rivers, MD, FRCPC, FAAD

A Single Centre Retrospective Chart Review Study to Assess the Efficacy of the GenesisPlus 1064 nm Nd:YAG Laser in the Treatment of Onychomycosis

The purpose of this study is to determine if toenail onychomycosis can be reduced by means of exposure to laser energy from the Cutera® GenesisPlus 1064 Nd:YAG laser system.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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.

Detailed Description

This is a retrospective, open-label, single-centre study for the collection of clinical data on the efficacy and safety of the Cutera® GenesisPlus 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser for the treatment of nail fungus (onychomycosis). Safety and efficacy of treatment with the GenesisPlus laser will be evaluated by (1) assessment of subject's great toenail photographs at baseline and after two treatments with GenesisPlus Laser utilizing planimetry measurement of infected vs. clear nail area in target toenail photographs, (2) by clinical and subjective review of acute and follow up adverse events that may have resulted from laser treatment of the target toenails.

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 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

100 participants at primary clinic

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male or Female subjects, age 18 to 80 years (inclusive).
  2. Subject with a clinical diagnosis of onychomycosis of one or both great toenails at baseline.
  3. Subject with a positive potassium hydroxide (KOH) stain and/or fungal culture.
  4. Subject has baseline and post treatment digital photographs of target great toenails.
  5. Subjects provided informed consent for treatment of nails with the Cutera GenesisPlus laser system.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects have received laser treatment of the infected great toenail(s) with a non-Cutera® laser system within twelve (12) months prior to Cutera® GenesisPlus laser treatment.
  2. Subjects have had a history or clinical diagnosis of moccasin type tinea pedis, lichen planus, psoriasis or bacterial nail infection.
  3. Subjects had a history or clinical diagnosis of coexisting disorders that may potentially demonstrate nail manifestations.
  4. Systemic antifungal medication within six (6) months prior to or following Cutera® GenesisPlus laser treatment.
  5. Subjects who have had a history or clinical diagnosis of repetitive nail trauma prior to treatment.
  6. Subjects who have participated in any clinical research study within thirty (30) days prior to or within 210 days following final Cutera® GenesisPlus laser treatment.
  7. Subjects who were pregnant or breastfeeding.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
November 1, 2013

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. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
