Útdráttur:Patient adherence is a key consideration in the choice of a topical regimen for the treatment of onychomycosis. The objective of this study was to investigate patient-reported outcomes (treatment utilisation, adherence and satisfaction) in onychomycosis treated with once-weekly amorolfine 5% nail lacquer versus once-daily ciclopirox 8% nail lacquer (Study A) or once-daily urea 40% ointment/bifonazole 1% cream combination regimen (Study B). Study A: Subjects received amorolfine and ciclopirox on opposite feet for 12 weeks. Study B: Subjects received amorolfine and urea/bifonazole on opposite feet for 6-7 weeks. Assessments included subject adherence as per label, treatment preference and questionnaire. Study A: More subjects adhered to amorolfine (85%) than to ciclopirox (60%) (P = .025). Overall, subjects were satisfied (95% vs 100%, respectively) and the treatments were balanced in terms of preference (50% vs 45%) at week 12. Study B: More subjects adhered to amorolfine dosage (81.8%) than to the dosage of the urea/bifonazole combination regimen (59.1%) (P = .096). At the end of study, 85.7% of subjects preferred amorolfine versus 14.3% for urea/bifonazole. Fewer subjects experienced local side effects with amorolfine (4.5%) compared to urea (27.3%) and bifonazole (15%). Amorolfine 5% nail lacquer offers a simple and convenient treatment option, which may result in improved patient adherence and consequently lead to improved efficacy and patient satisfaction.
