Study Description

New Zealand Clinical Research is trialing an investigational medication that is being developed for the treatment of fungal toenails (onychomycosis).

Onychomycosis is contagious fungal infection of the fingernails or toenails that causes discoloration, thickening, and separation from the nail bed. Onychomycosis affects about 6% to 8% of the adult population contributing to almost half of all nail problems. Onychomycosis is predominantly a cosmetic problem but can be uncomfortable and can lead to cellulitis (bacterial skin infection) or in severe cases detachment can occur.

Eradication of the infection is vital to improving appearance and avoiding these complications but is not easily accomplished due to the poor blood supply to nails. Current treatments have low effectiveness and low cure rates with a high chance of the infection returning. Therefore, there is an unmet need for effective treatment and eradication of onychomycosis.

ATB1651 is being developed by AmtixBio Co., Ltd. for the treatment of mild to moderate onychomycosis. ATB1651 is an antifungal agent that is able to penetrate the affected nail, ultimately preventing further fungi growth and potentially eradicating the onychomycosis.

 It is an investigational drug because it has not been approved by MedSafe or other drug regulatory authorities.
