Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Complete Cure: Post Treatment (Day 17)

    Time frame: Day 17

    Complete cure will be determined by negative fungal culture or negative microscopic evaluation via KOH preparation and a Clinical Symptom Severity Score of ≤ 8 (0-64) on Day 17. Improvement is expressed as a lower score.

  2. Number of Participants With Complete Cure: Post Treatment (Day 31)

    Time frame: Day 31

    Complete cure will be determined by a minimum of a 12- point reduction on day 17 in the Clinical Symptom Severity Score (from >20 to <8) on a scale of 0-64. Improvement is expressed as a lower score.

  3. Number of Participants With Therapeutic Failure: Post Treatment (Day 17)

    Time frame: Day 17

    Positive fungi colonization via mycological culture OR microscopic evaluation (KOH) AND a post treatment Clinical Symptom Severity Score of ≤ 8 (0-64) on Day 17. Improvement is expressed as a lower score.

  4. Number of Participants withTherapeutic Failure: Post Treatment Day 31 AND a Post Treatment Clinical Symptom Severity Score (Day 31) of < 8.

    Time frame: Day 31

    Positive fungi colonization via mycological culture OR microscopic evaluation (KOH) AND a post treatment Clinical Symptom Severity Score of ≤ 8 (0-64) on Day 31. Improvement is expressed as a lower score.

  5. Incidence of Adverse Events

    Time frame: Duration of the study, 31 days for each participant.

    Number of moderate A/E possibly related to treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Participants Clinical Symptom Severity Score Between Day 1 and Day 31

    Time frame: Day 1 and 31

    Clinical Symptom Severity Score change in score on Day and Day 31 between all participants with an initial Clinical Symptom severity Score of >20 (0-64 scale) in the two study groups.

    Increased improvement is expressed as largest negative change and a lower score.
