Onychomycosis Understanding
Onychomycosis: Overview
Onychomycosis, traditionally referred to a nondermatophytic infection of the nail but is now used as a general term to denote any fungal nail infection (tinea unguium specifically describes a dermatophytic invasion of the nail plate). In spite of the clearly diseased appearance associated with this condition, onychomycosis is all too often regarded as merely a cosmetic problem of relatively minor importance that is hardly worth the effort to resolve. This belief may have been supported by the adverse effects and long dosing courses associated with some of the earlier antifungal agents. Onychomycosis in immunocompromised patients, such as those infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), can pose a more serious health problem.
Symptoms
Nails have asymptomatic patches of white or yellow discoloration and deformity. There are 3 common characteristic patterns:
• Distal subungual: The nails thicken and yellow, keratin and debris accumulate distally and underneath, and the nail separates from the nail bed (onycholysis).
• Proximal subungual: A form that starts proximally and is a marker of immunosuppression.
• White superficial: A chalky white scale slowly spreads beneath the nail surface.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of onychomycosis can often be made by visual inspection alone; laboratory tests may not be needed, but include:
• Microscopy: Potassium hydroxide (KOH) stain is a commonly-used method because it is inexpensive and easy to perform. Nail clippings or scrapings are placed in a drop of KOH and examined under a microscope for the presence of fungal elements. 3 Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) staining can also be used.
• Culture: Fungal culture on Sabouraud’s medium or dermatophyte test medium (DTM) can be used to identify the infecting organism.
Treatment
Fungal nail infections can be difficult to cure, and they typically don’t go away without antifungal treatment. The best treatment for a fungal nail infection is usually prescription antifungal pills taken by mouth. In severe cases, a doctor might remove the nail completely. It can take several months to a year for the infection to go away. Topical antifungal agents can be used but are often ineffective. Oral terbinafine is considered to be the first-line treatment for confirmed onychomycosis; the treatment course is generally 6 weeks for fingernails and 12 weeks for toenails. Azoles can also be used. Surgical debridement or removal of the affected nail is also a consideration for cases that are resistant to antifungals, and laser treatments for onychomycosis appear to be a promising area for future study.
Onychomycosis Emerging Drugs Chapters
This segment of the Onychomycosis report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.
Onychomycosis Emerging Drugs
• MOB015B: Moberg Pharma
Moberg Pharma is conducting a multi-centre, randomized, two-armed, parallel group and evaluator-blinded study of efficacy and safety of topical MOB015B in the treatment of mild to moderate Distal Subungual Onychomycosis (DSO). The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of topical MOB015B in patients with mild to moderate distal subungual onychomycosis (DSO). The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of topical MOB015B in patients with mild to moderate DSO.
