About this study

Official title: An Open-label Study To Evaluate The Safety, Tolerability, And Pharmacokinetics Of Kerydin (Registered) (Tavaborole) Topical Solution, 5% In The Treatment Of Onychomycosis Of The Toenail In Pediatric Subjects Ages 6 To 16 Years And 11 Months

This was an open-label study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of tavaborole 5% topical solution in treating distal subungual onychomycosis (a fungal infection) of the toenail in children and adolescents (ages 6 to 16 years).

Following confirmation of eligibility, including laboratory evidence of a fungal organism in the toenail, tavaborole topical solution was applied once daily to all affected toenails for a 48-week treatment period.

Read more

Clinical assessment of the extent of infection and safety assessments were performed periodically throughout the 48-week treatment period, and again at 52 weeks (4 weeks after stopping the treatment).

A subgroup of enrolled subjects applied the topical solution to all 10 toenails and a small area of surrounding skin during the first 28 days. These subjects had blood samples analyzed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (how the drug moves in the body) of tavaborole topical solution in children and adolescents.

Read the detailed description

This was an open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of tavaborole 5% topical solution in treating distal subungual onychomycosis (DSO) of the toenail in pediatric subjects aged 6 to 16 years and 11 months. An eligible subject had a target great toenail (TGT) with at least 20% involvement, with a positive potassium hydroxide (KOH) wet mount and positive fungal culture for T. rubrum or T. mentagrophytes.

Eligible subjects applied tavaborole 5% topical solution, once daily to all affected toenails (the TGT as well as all other toenails having the clinical characteristics of onychomycosis) throughout the 48 week treatment period.

Subjects were evaluated at Screening, Baseline (Day 1), and at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, and 52. Each evaluation included a clinical assessment of the AEs and local tolerability evaluation.

Additional procedures were performed as follows:

  • Mycology sampling at Screening, Week 24, and Week 52/early termination (ET);
  • Clinical disease severity of the TGT at Screening, Week 24, and Week 52/ET;
  • Safety laboratory testing at Baseline, Week 24, and Week 52/ET;

In this study, there was a PK subgroup of evaluable subjects aged 12 to 16 years and 11 months studied under maximal use conditions. Subjects in this maximal use subgroup applied the study drug on all 10 toenails, including up to 2 mm of the surrounding skin, for 28 days. On Day 15, a predose PK sample was collected to assess steady state trough level. On Day 29, the study drug application was done at the study site, and PK samples were collected prior to dosing, as well as 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours postdose on Days 29 to 30.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Local Tolerability Reactions by Severity

    Local tolerability reactions consisted of burning/stinging, induration/edema, oozing and crusting, pruritus, erythema, and scaling. Here 0 indicates None, 1 (Mild), 2 (Moderate) and 3 (severe). Grading details are as follows: Burning/Stinging (0: no stinging/burning, 1: slight warm, 2: definite warm, 3: hot); Induration/Edema (0: no elevation, 1: barely perceptible elevation, 2: clearly perceptible elevation but not extensive, 3: marked and extensive elevation); Oozing and Crusting (0: absent, 1: faint signs of oozing, 2: definite oozing, 3: marked and extensive oozing); Pruritus (0: no pruritus, 1: occasional, slight itching, 2: constant itching which is not disturbing sleep, 3: severe bothersome itching/scratching which is disturbing sleep); Erythema (0: no redness present, 1: faintly detectable erythema; very light pink, 2: dull red, 3: deep/dark red); Scaling (0: no scaling, 1: barely perceptible shedding, 2: obvious but not profuse scaling, 3: heavy scale production).

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 52

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 28 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. AEs included both serious and non-serious AEs.

    Measured: Baseline up to 28 days after last dose of study drug (up to Week 52)

  3. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) By Severity

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. AEs were classified as mild, moderate and severe based on severity assessment by investigator and defined as: Mild = symptoms barely noticeable to the participant or does not make the participant uncomfortable; moderate = symptoms of a sufficient severity to make the participant uncomfortable; severe = symptoms of a sufficient severity to cause the participant severe discomfort.

    Measured: Baseline up to 28 days after last dose of study drug (up to Week 52)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tavaborole 5% Topical Solution in people with Onychomycosis and Tinea Unguium, run by Pfizer at 12 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Apr 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Local Tolerability Reactions by Severity (time frame: Baseline up to Week 52). The study lists 28 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03405818, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Apr 2018.
