Inclusion criteria

  • Positive clinical findings (moderate to severe, indicated by a CSSS ≥ 6) for interdigital or bullous tinea pedis as determined by clinical examination (subjects with moccasin symptoms in addition to above may also be included at the discretion of the investigator).
  • Written informed consent must be obtained from the subject.
  • Must ≥ 18 years of age, unless local laws dictate otherwise.
  • Must agree to avoid professional pedicures or application of any nail polish product or nail cosmetic to the toenails after the screening visit until the conclusion of the trial.
  • Must not be pregnant or nursing, and if of childbearing potential, agree to take measures to avoid pregnancy during the study period

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Use of oral or injectable systemic corticosteroids in the preceding 7 or 30 days respectively, of screening visit (Day 1)
  • Use of systemic antifungals in the preceding 30 days of screening visit (Day1) including - (terbinafine - (Lamisil®, Novartis), Itraconazole - (Sporanox®, Janssen), fluconazole- (Diflucan®, Pfizer), ketoconazole, miconazole, griseofulvin (Gris-PEG®, Pedinol), butoconazole, terconazole, Potassium iodide)
  • Has used any investigational drug(s) within 30 days preceding screening visit (Day 1)
  • Is pregnant or is a nursing mother
  • Is a woman of child bearing potential who is not using an adequate form of contraception (or abstinence)
  • Is \< 18 years of age, unless local laws dictate otherwise.
  • Is immunosuppressed (undergoing chemotherapy, neutropenia (PMNs , \< 500/mm3), HIV with CD4+ \< 200/mm3.
  • Suffers from a condition, which, in the opinion of the medical investigator, would compromise his/her safety and / or the quality of the data. Such conditions may include collagen vascular disease, diabetes mellitus, Cushing's Disease, hematological malignancy, chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis or atopy STATISTICS This clinical evaluation is intended to demonstrate

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Complete cure (negative KOH and culture and no signs or symptoms), Effective treatment (negative KOH and culture and at most mild erythema or scaling), Negative mycology (negative KOH and culture).

    Time frame: 29 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Determine the clinical and mycological effect of 1% gaseous nitric oxide (gNO) as a treatment for Tinea Pedis in the clinically evaluable population at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) evaluation (4 weeks post-treatment) according to the definitions below:

    Time frame: 29 days

  2. Determine the clinical and mycological effect of the topical application of 1% gNO as confirmed by pre treatment positive culture and clinical signs and symptoms compared to 2 weeks post treatment outcomes according to definitions below:

    Time frame: 14 days

  3. Determine the clinical and mycological effect of the topical application of 1% gNO as confirmed by pre treatment positive culture and clinical signs and symptoms compared to 1 week post treatment outcomes according to definitions below:

    Time frame: 7 days

  4. Determine the safety of daily topical applications of 1% gNO as confirmed by methemoglobin levels and adverse events.

    Time frame: 29 days
