Purpose and Description of Study:
Onychomycosis (nail fungus) is a common condition accounting for about half of all nail disorders. Itraconazole (Sporanox®) is an oral drug in capsule form approved by government health authorities for the treatment of onychomycosis of the toenail. This clinical trial will compare the efficacy and safety of a new once-a-day tablet formulation of itraconazole with two itraconazole capsules a day or placebo, taken for 12 weeks. After completing the12 week course of therapy, toenails will be assessed for signs of fungal infection at weeks 26, 39 and 52.
