Inclusion criteria

  • Subject with clinically Distal and Lateral Subungual Onychomycosis (DLSO) due to dermatophytes and/or yeast (including Candida) on at least one toenail of each foot at screening visit,
  • Subject with less than 80% of the nail surface area with disease involvement and without matrix involvement, no dermatophytoma, streaks (spikes) or subungual hyperkeratosis > 2mm,
  • Subjects with positive mycological results (direct microscopy and culture) for dermatophytes and/or yeasts (including Candida) at baseline,
  • Subjects with same number of affected toenails on both feet or no more than one additional affected toenail on one of the feet,

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject with a surgical, medical condition or clinically important abnormal physical findings, which, in the judgement of the investigator, might interfere with interpretation of the objectives of the study (i.e. lack of autonomy),
  • Subjects with post-traumatic nail, lichen planus, eczema, psoriasis, or other abnormalities of the nail unit, which could affect/influence the subject's compliance of the investigational products, or mask the effects of treatment (cure),
  • Subjects with known immunodeficiency, radiation therapy, immune suppressive drugs.
