Frequently asked questions about Bifonazole 1%

What is Bifonazole 1% used for?

Bifonazole 1% is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the nails. It is applied as a cream and is being evaluated in combination with nail ablation using urea paste. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development.

Who makes Bifonazole 1%?

Bifonazole 1% is being developed by Bayer AG, a multinational pharmaceutical company. Bayer's stock is traded over-the-counter under the ticker symbol BAYRY. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this antifungal treatment for onychomycosis.

What phase is Bifonazole 1% in?

Bifonazole 1% is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. A Phase 3 trial has been completed to assess its efficacy and safety in patients with onychomycosis, but it remains under investigation.

What clinical trials is Bifonazole 1% in?

Bifonazole 1% has one completed Phase 3 clinical trial registered as NCT00781820. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolled 693 participants with onychomycosis across Czechia, Germany, and Poland. The trial evaluated the comparative efficacy of bifonazole cream versus placebo after nail ablation with urea paste.

How does Bifonazole 1% work?

Bifonazole 1% is an antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption leads to increased membrane permeability and ultimately fungal cell death. The drug is applied topically as a cream to treat nail fungal infections.
