Ciclopirox 8% HPCH Nail Lacquer in the Treatment of Mild-to-Moderate Onychomycosis : A Randomized, Double-Blind Amorolfine Controlled Study Using a Blinded Evaluator

This was a randomized, controlled, parallel-group clinical trial with a blinded evaluator, designed to compare the efficacy and safety of the nail lacquer P-3051 with amorolfine 5% in the treatment of mild-to-moderate toenail onychomycosis. Patients were treated for 48 weeks with P-3051 daily, or twice weekly with amorolfine 5%. Out of 120 evaluable patients, 60 (50.0%) received P-3051 and 60 (50.0%) amorolfine 5%. At baseline, the two groups were homogeneous in terms of race, pathogens, number of affected toenails and severity of the infected target nail area. The statistical superiority of P-3051 versus amorolfine was achieved after 48 weeks (treatment success: 58.3% for P-3051 vs. 26.7% for amorolfine, p < 0.001; complete cure: 35.0% for P-3051 vs. 11.7% for amorolfine, p < 0.001). Mycological cure at week 48 was achieved in all patients treated with P-3051 compared to 81.7% of patients treated with amorolfine (p < 0.001). Moreover, fungal eradication by P-3051 was statistically superior at week 24. The results of this study, and of a previous pivotal study versus the insoluble formulation of ciclopirox 8%, led to consider P-3051 as the gold standard for the topical treatment of mild-to-moderate onychomycosis.Peer reviewe

Treatment of Skin Oncological Disease Using an Immunosuppressive Medication

Skin cancer or non-melanoma malignant formations, as well as melanomas, are recorded in more than 2-3 million people every year. The most important cause of the occurrence of this disease is the effect of UV radiation on damaged areas of the skin, birthmarks, or sensitive skin (light, capable of burning). Dermatoscopy is one of the most important methods for determining the stage of tumor development, and the simplest method of treatment in the initial stages is the use of immunosuppressive agents that reduce the work of the immune system by preventing the formation of antibodies
