Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Erchonia Low Level Laser Light Therapy to Treat Toenail Fungus (NCT NCT02242019)

NCT ID: NCT02242019

Last Updated: 2016-05-17

Results Overview

Individual toenail success criteria was defined as 3 millimeter (mm) or more of clear nail growth at 36 weeks post-procedure administration as evaluated relative to baseline. Overall study success criteria was defined as an 60% or more of treated toenails meeting the individual success criteria.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 36 Weeks

Individual toenail success criteria was defined as 3 millimeter (mm) or more of clear nail growth at 36 weeks post-procedure administration as evaluated relative to baseline. Overall study success criteria was defined as an 60% or more of treated toenails meeting the individual success criteria.

Measure
Erchonia LUNULA
n=139 toenails
The Erchonia LUNULA emits both red light (635 nm) and blue light (405 nm) to the affected toenail for 12 minutes per treatment for 4 treatments, each treatment one week apart.
Number of Toenails Attaining 3 Millimeters (mm) or More of Clear Nail Growth
134 toenails

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 36 Weeks

Population: Some subjects had multiple toenails with onychomycosis disease involvement that were treated and analyzed, resulting in a total of 139 study toenails being analyzed.

Millimeter (mm) of clear nail from the base of the toenail was determined from digital photographs of the toenail using a computer program. Change in mm of clear nail bed was calculated as the difference in mm of clear nail bed from baseline measurement to the measurement at 36 weeks after the end of the procedure administration phase. An increase in mm of clear nail between the two measurement points indicates that the toenail has improved and is positive for study success. A decrease in mm of clear nail between the two measurement points indicates that the toenail has worsened and is negative for study success.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 36 Weeks

The percent (%) of the toenail that had onychomycosis disease involvement was determined. Change in the % of toenail onychomycosis disease involvement was calculated as the difference in the % of toenail onychomycosis disease involvement from baseline measurement to the measurement at 36 weeks after the end of the procedure administration phase. A decrease in the % of toenail onychomycosis disease involvement between the two measurement points indicates that the toenail onychomycosis involvement has decreased and is positive for study success. An increase in the % of toenail onychomycosis disease involvement between the two measurement points indicates that the toenail onychomycosis involvement has increased and is negative for study success.
