结局指标
主要结局
Number of subjects with clinical cure based on photographs after the 3rd treatment session
时间窗: 3 weeks after baseline
Based on visual assessment of photographs: presence or absence of fungal infection
Number of subjects diagnosed with presence of subungual culture after 3rd treatment session
时间窗: 3 weeks after baseline
Based on presence of fungal infection from culture assessment
次要结局
- Evaluate the durability of treatment outcomes with subungual culture and photographs at 24 weeks(24 weeks after first treatment)
- Evaluate tolerability to treatment using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scale questionnaire at each treatment visit(3 weeks after baseline)
- Compare rates of mycological and clinical cure after three treatments between two groups with different ALA incubation times(3 weeks after baseline)
