Efficacy and Safety of Efinaconazole 10% Solution in  the Treatment of Onychomycosis in Diabetic Patients

Onychomycosis is especially common among diabetic patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of 10% efinaconazole solution among diabetic subjects, without restriction by nail plate involvement or glycemic control. Forty subjects were enrolled, with 36 reaching their final 50-week follow-up visit. Mycological cure was attained by 21 subjects (58.33%); 8 subjects (20%) attained either clinical cure (0% clinical involvement) or treatment success ( ≤10% clinical involvement). Glycemic control did not affect clinical outcome. The medication was well tolerated, with 4 local adverse events and no significant adverse events. The medication may represent a useful option for diabetic patients.
