Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

The Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Effective Treatment at Week 52
Week 52

At each study visit, the investigator assessed the percentage of affected toenail on the target nail by estimating the percent affected nail in each quadrant, summing the percent affected in each quadrant and dividing the sum by 4. Effective treatment was defined as a mycological cure and clear or almost clear nail (distal subungual hyperkeratosis and/or onycholysis leaving less than 10% of nail plate effected). Comparisons were carried out in a sequential step-down fashion, combined with the Holm procedure at step 2. P-value was based on a sequential step-down combined with the Holm procedure. It was assessed on Week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 44 and 52.

Frequently asked questions about Albaconazole

What is Albaconazole used for?

Albaconazole is an investigational small molecule being developed for onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the nail. It is in Phase 2 clinical development and has been studied in patients with distal subungual onychomycosis. The drug is not approved and remains under clinical investigation.

Who makes Albaconazole?

Albaconazole is being developed by GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK. The company has sponsored clinical trials of the drug for onychomycosis. GSK is the developer of record for the investigational agent.

What phase is Albaconazole in?

Albaconazole is in Phase 2 clinical development for onychomycosis. It has completed two clinical trials, including a Phase 2 efficacy and safety study and a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials has Albaconazole been in?

Albaconazole has been studied in two completed trials. NCT00730405 was a Phase 2 study of four dose regimens in 582 subjects with distal subungual onychomycosis. NCT01039883 was a Phase 1 study comparing blood levels of a 400 mg tablet versus capsule in 40 healthy subjects.

Is Albaconazole the same as any other drug?

Albaconazole is a distinct investigational compound and is not known by any alternative names. It is being studied specifically for onychomycosis and has no other reported designations in clinical development.
