Primary Endpoints

Effective Treatment Outcome (Direct Microscopy and Culture Negative and Total Signs and Symptom Score Less or Equal to 2)
week 6

Each clinical sign or symptom will be assessed separately. The investigator will evaluate the severity of each sign or symptom over the entire target foot. Clinical signs and symptoms including desquamation (scaling), erythema, incrustation (crusting), pustules, vesiculation and pruritus will be evaluated by the investigator or designee and recorded at every visit using the following scale: 0 = absent 1. = mild 2. = moderate 3. = severe In order to calculate the total symptoms score the rating for all symptoms are added up. Possible range 0 to 18

Complete cure is defined as negative KOH microscopy and negative culture for dermatophytes. and no residual involvement of the target toenail. The complete cure was a composite binary variable defined as "Yes" if: * Mycological cure (negative KOH and negative culture for dermatophytes) and * No residual involvement of the target toenail "No" if otherwise
