Ciclopirox 8% HPCH Nail Lacquer in the Treatment of Mild-to-Moderate Onychomycosis: A Randomized, Double-Blind Amorolfine Controlled Study Using a Blinded Evaluator.

ABSTRACT: This was a randomized, controlled, parallel-group clinical trial with a blinded evaluator, designed to compare the efficacy and safety of the nail lacquer P-3051 with amorolfine 5% in the treatment of mild-to-moderate toenail onychomycosis. Patients were treated for 48 weeks with P-3051 daily, or twice weekly with amorolfine 5%. Out of 120 evaluable patients, 60 (50.0%) received P-3051 and 60 (50.0%) amorolfine 5%. At baseline, the two groups were homogeneous in terms of race, pathogens, number of affected toenails and severity of the infected target nail area. The statistical superiority of P-3051 versus amorolfine was achieved after 48 weeks (treatment success: 58.3% for P-3051 vs. 26.7% for amorolfine, p < 0.001; complete cure: 35.0% for P-3051 vs. 11.7% for amorolfine, p < 0.001).
