Study summary

The study is designed to evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of ATB1651 in participants with mild to moderate onychomycosis

Read the detailed description

This Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is designed to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ATB1651 when administered topically to the great (hallux) toenail of participants with mild to moderate onychomycosis who are otherwise healthy.

This study will enroll upto 120 participants in 3+1 (optional) sequential cohorts.

  • Participants in Cohorts 1 to 3 will be randomized within each cohort to receive either ATB1651 3% or placebo at a ratio of 5:1.
  • An optional cohort (Cohort 4) may enroll up to 30 participants who will be randomized to receive either ATB1651 5% or placebo at a ratio of 5:1.

Dosing will start with Cohort 1 followed at least 4 weeks later by Cohort 2. The decision to continue dosing in Cohort 2 beyond 12 weeks and/or to commence Cohort 3, at the planned dosage regimen or a modified dosage regimen, will be determined by the Safety Review Committee (SRC).

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Confirmation of onychomycosis by positive mycological (KOH) staining and positive culture from affected great toenail(s).
  2. Appearance of onychomycosis involving 20% to 60% of 1 (or both) affected great toenail(s), as determined by visual inspection after the nail has been trimmed. If the percentage of infection is outside this range but is still considered appropriate for this study, based on the overall impression of the Principal Investigator (PI), participation can be considered in consultation with the Medical Monitor (MM). The visual inspection results of the appearance of onychomycosis involving 20% to 60% of 1 (or both) affected great toenail(s) will be reviewed by the Sponsor before enrollment.
  3. The combined thickness of the distal nail plate at the associated hyperkeratotic nail bed is \< 2 mm.
  4. Adult males and females, 18 to 70 years of age (inclusive) at the time of Screening.
  5. In good general health, with no significant medical history, and no abnormalities on physical examination or at Screening and/or before the first administration of IP at the discretion of the PI or designee. Participants with mild stable disease may be considered eligible at the discretion of the PI or designee.
  6. (BMI) between 17.5 and 35.0 kg/m2, inclusive, at Screening.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. History of allergy to any of the in ATB1651.
  2. Positive test for antibody (HCV), surface antigen (HBsAg), or (HIV) antibody at Screening or Day 1.
  3. Underlying physical or psychological medical conditions that, in the opinion of the PI, would make it unlikely for the participant to comply with the protocol or complete the study per protocol.
  4. Unwilling to refrain from the use of nail cosmetics such as clear and/ or colored nail lacquers from the Screening visit until the end of the study.
  5. Use of any IP or medical device within 30 days prior to Screening, or 5 half-lives of the product (whichever is the longest) or participation in more than 4 investigational drug studies within 1 year prior to Screening.
  6. Diabetes mellitus requiring treatment other than diet and exercise.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jul 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2025, 11 months after the start.

Of 16 phase 2 interventional studies under Onychomycosis, half reached primary completion within 20 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 22. This study's planned 11 months is below that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 19, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
