Read the detailed description

It is believed that investigating the affect of Jublia is an important question with regards to how it affects how various nail polished and top coats will be used.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Observe Stability of Nail Polish as Evidenced by Serial Photography With Efinaconazole Application in Terms of Days

    Observation: Serial photographs were combined with patient reported outcomes to assess the stability of self-applied toenail polish when efinaconazole was applied topically to the nail. (Expected stability of polish less than 14 days with application of Jublia as compared to nails without Jublia application)

    Time frame: Baseline to 14 days
