Safety and Tolerability Study of SKX-16 in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Distal Subungual Onychomycosis

Status unconfirmed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Onychomycosis of Toenail

In brief

This study is being conducted to determine the pharmacokinetics, systemic exposure, safety and tolerability after daily topical application of SKX-16 (Luliconazole 10% Solution) for duration of 29 days in a maximal use setting in adults with moderate to severe distal subungual onychomycosis of the toenails.
