About this study

A randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, mono center, parallel group study.

72 Eligible patients will receive Hydrogel Nail Patch every day for three months, in the evening. All the patients will be characterized according to the percentage of target nail involvement (defined as either 50% or 51-75).

Patients applied their allocated treatment to the surface of all affected nails, in particular Hydrogel Nail Patch or Placebo will be applied topically in the evening at bedtime and taken away in the morning, every day for 12 (twelve)weeks. The subjects will receive a visit by the Clinical Investigator after 4 weeks from the end of treatments.

A single affected nail with Fragility nail or onychomycosis or nail psoriasis will be identified as the target nail for all assessments. Target nails had to fulfil the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria and the presence of nail pathology confirmed by Score Index test, photographic documentation, physician judgement. Patients will attend visits at screening(V0), baseline (V1), and at weeks 3(V2), 6(V3), 9(V4) and 12(V5).

The Multi-Function Toe Nail Patch and the Placebo will be applied topically on the big toe affected by nail pathology, according to their characteristics.

Primary outcomes

  1. Evaluation, based on adverse events numeber of the Multi-Function Hydrogel Nail Patch safety in adult humans affected by Fragility Nails, Onychomycosis and Nail Psoriasis

    Time frame: From the enrollment day (visit 1) to the follow-up visit after 4 months

    Checking of any adverse event during the treatment, and at monthly visits

Secondary outcomes

  1. Efficacy of the patch, measuring the size of the nail patology

    Time frame: From enrollment day (visit 1) to the follow-up visit after 4 months

    Evaluation of the Multi-Function Hydrogel Nail Patch medical device in adult humans affected by Fragility Nails, Onychomycosis and Nail Psoriasis Visual improvement in clear nail at least of 50% considering the number of patients with 50% nail clearing and the rate at which the nail clearing takes place in the two treatment groups
