- Percentage of Nail Polish Disruption Using the Likert Scale [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ]
Patients will answer the following question:
Which will be answered using a Likert scale where 0 represents no alteration in polish and 10 represents complete destruction of the polish:
Is the quality of your polish diminished with use of Jublia?
- Percentage of Disease Improvement Using Onychomycosis Severity Index (OSI) [ Time Frame: 52 week ]Using 3rd party blinding, DLSO was assessed at baseline and at every subsequent visit using the onychomycosis severity index (OSI), measuring percent of the target nail involved, and grading the infection from mild to moderate to severe. The range for OSI is 0-20 with 20 indicating severe nails disease. Nail growth was measured at each visit. Fungal testing was done at screening, 3 months, 7 months, end of treatment (48 weeks), and end of study (52 weeks). Clinical and mycologic cure was evaluated at week 52.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 19 Years to 70 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Female |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Female age 19-70, as 19 is the legal age in Alabama
- DLSO affecting at least 1 great toenail diagnosed with positive potassium hydroxide microscopy and culture of a dermatophyte
- Suitable for application of topical antifungal therapy, in the opinion of the investigator
- Target toenail thickness of 3 mm or less as measured by digital caliper, as thickness greater than 3 mm may allow inclusion of patient with severe onychomycosis, and this was the criteria used in the pivotal trial using topical efinaconazole for onychomycosis
- Women of childbearing potential will be required to use birth control and a negative urine pregnancy test must be documented prior to initiating treatment
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of immunosuppression or concurrent use of immunosuppressant drugs
- History of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
- History of psoriasis or any other condition that might interfere with the toenail evaluation
- Three or more dermatophytomas (streaks) on the target nail
- Severe DLSO of the target nail
