This trial tests how well and how safely an antifungal gel works for toenail fungus in adults. You may be able to join if your toenail fungus is confirmed with lab tests and you can follow the study rules during the study.
This study tests a topical antifungal cream (terbinafine) for mild to moderate toenail fungus. It is designed for people who have a fungal infection in one or more toenails but are otherwise healthy.
This study compares a fractional CO₂ laser, 40% urea, or a fluconazole microemulsion applied to the nail to see which works best for treating fungal nail infections (onychomycosis). It may help you if you have a confirmed fungal nail infection and haven't used certain antifungal treatments recently.
This trial tests a combination treatment for toenail fungus (onychomycosis). It uses a special device (Mycoclear) and a medicated nail polish (Ciclopirox). It may help if you have mild to moderate fungus on your big toenail.
This trial tests a new light-based treatment (antimicrobial photodynamic therapy) to prevent infections in patients who have a prosthesis anchored directly into their bone (osseointegrated prosthesis). If you have one of these devices and are 18 or older, this study may help keep you infection-free.
This trial tests an investigational medication called ATB1651 for people with toenail fungus (onychomycosis). If you have a fungal infection covering 20% to 60% of one or both big toenails and are in generally good health, you may be able to join.
