Clinical Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of a Medical Device for the Treatment of Toenail Onychomycosis

The efficacy and safety of Solver Pen (prototype number X92001704) is evaluated in this randomized, open label, controlled, investigator-blinded, comparative clinical trial in 76 patients. Subjects are treated with either the test medical device (Solver Pen) or the comparator (Loceryl, 5% amorolfine), respectively, for a period of 90 days. The primary objective of the investigation is the increase of percentage of healthy surface on the great toenail at study end versus baseline, as evaluated by a blinded investigator. Patients are followed up for a period of 90 days, with visits at D0 (baseline), D30, D60 and D90, respectively.

Inclusion Criteria:

4. Age: more than 18 years.
5. Subject with superficial onychomycosis on at least one great toenail or light to moderate disto-lateral onychomycosis (without matrix involvement and involvement <2/3 of the tablet).

5. Patient with a condition or receiving a medication which, in the investigator's judgment, put the subject at undue risk;
6. Patient suffering from serious or progressive diseases (to investigator's discretion) such as uncontrolled diabetes, peripheral circulatory disease, HIV, psoriasis, lichen planus, immunosuppressive pathology…
