`
`Summary
`
`Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nails, more often of the toenails. It is a common condition,
`with an estimated overall prevalence of 3—10% in European populations, Dermatophytes, especially
`Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes, are the usual pathogens. Some 50% of infected
`patients fail to seek medical advice. Medically confirmed onychomycosis should be treated. This
`recommendation is based on several disease—specific considerations: cosmetic and functional
`disability, lack of spontaneous remission, impairment of health and wellbeing in elderly patients
`and the need to reduce contamination in communal bathing places. Current treatments for
`onychomycosis include oral antifungal agents such as terbinafine (Lamisil®) and itraconazole
`(Sporanox®). They offer significantly improved rates of cure, shorter treatment regimens and a
`lower level of adverse events than was previously the case. Comparative studies have shown that
`terbinafine is more effective than griseofulvin, fluconazole or itraconazole in the treatment of this
`condition, providing a cure rate of 70-80% and an excellent tolerability profile. Terbinafine is also
`the most cost~effective agent. However. several problems remain that will provide future challenges
`in the treatment of onychomycosis, not least the consistent treatment failure rate of 20%. In many of
`these cases, surgery may need to precede drug therapy in order to maximise the prospects of clinical
`and mycological cure. In addition, duration of treatment also needs to be more closely adjusted to the
`individual case by prior identification of severity and extent of toenail infection, and combined oral
`and topical therapy also requires further investigation.
`
`Onychomycosis comes from the Greek onyx, a nail, and
`' rnykes, a fungus. It is the term used to describe a fungal
`infection of the nails caused predominently (in about
`90 Yo
`of cases)
`by anthropophilic dermatophytes:
`Trirrhophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes
`are the usual pathogens. Yeast and non—dermatophyte
`Inc nld infections are much less common. Toenails are
`
`more often affected than fingernails by a ratio of about
`4: 1.
`
`Infection usually begins in the toe clefts, with sub-
`Seqaent spread to the hyponychium and thence into the
`distal area of the nail bed. The whole width of the nail
`may be affected, but involvement of the lateral edges is
`Inore frequently seen. Subsequent spread of infection is
`Proximal towards the posterior nail fold and medially to
`encompass the whole nail bed. The nail can become
`
`grossly thickened, sometimes completely broken. Invol-
`Vement of the nail plate leads ultimately to complete
`1 <les;ruction of the nail, a process that can take several
`Years from initial infection.
`
`Onychomycosis is common. Prevalence studies”
`hate suggested that 3% of the population in developed
`
`(9 1999 British Association of Dermatologists
`
`3
`
`countries are affected. Both studies also showed that
`
`almost 50% of infected patients had never sought
`medical advice, and that among those who had, few
`had been prescribed systemic therapy. More recently,
`smaller mycologically controlled studies3 have suggested
`a prevalence approaching 10%. These data suggest that
`onychomycosis would constitute a significant healthcare
`challenge, both logistically and financially, if treatment —
`systemic and/or topical — were to be made available to
`all sufferers.
`
`Why onychomycosis should be treated
`
`treating
`for
`An excellent case can be made out
`mycologically confirmed onychomycosis, based on four
`disease—specific considerations. First. fingernail infection
`results in increasing cosmetic and functional disability.
`Second,
`the well-documented lack of spontaneous
`remission totally invalidates any ‘wait and watch’
`policy. Third. no improvement in the contamination
`
`levels of communal bathing places can be envisaged
`unless the general pool of infection is reduced. Last,

`family members can fall easy victim to transmission

`To these disease—specific considerations can be added
`several general, but in some ways more important.
`reasons. Onychomycosis becomes more common with
`age, and can impair the quality of life and Wellbeing of
`elderly persons. In those with intercurrent diabetes
`mellitus or significant peripheral vascular disease,
`the presence of onychomycosis can aggravate manage
`ment. In these and similar cases it may be more cost
`effective to treat
`the initial disease than the later
`
`complications.

`
`The medical management of onychomycosis has
`improved considerably over the last 10 years. Oral
`antifungal agents now available offer
`significantly
`increased rates of cure, shorter treatment regimens
`and a
`lower
`level of adverse events. Terbinaline
`
`(Lamisil®) and itraconazole (SporanoX®) are now
`available in many countries, and are generally con-
`sidered to be the treatments of choice for this condition.
`
`Is there any evidence to suggest that one or other of
`these agents has greater efficacy?
`
`In vitro evidence
`
`1. compiled from data collected in several
`Table
`studies.4’8
`shows mean inhibitory concentration
`(MIC)
`and mean fungicidal concentration (MFC)
`values and peak nail concentrations for
`terbinafine
`and itraconazole (and for several other drugs where
`values are available). The MIC values for both agents are
`low. The MFC value for itraconazole. though still low,
`is two orders of magnitude higher than that for terbi-
`nafine. The relevance of these figures relates to the data
`in the third column on peak nail concentrations. which
`for maximum efficacy should be consistently higher
`than the MFC value. This status is comfortably achieved
`
`by terbinafine, but is not always achieved by either
`itraconazole or fluconazole. Nails affected by dermato-
`
`phyte infection are not kinetically homogenous, so this
`difference may be crucially important.
`
`In vivo evidence
`
`This is conventionally based on two comparisons of
`efficacy: mycological cure rates at completion of the
`study and relapse rates at long—term follow—up. Nails
`have no power of regeneration, and must therefore be
`
`given the time to grow out completely if cure (abs nee of
`relapse) is to be properly assessed. For a toenail the time
`span can be 12-18 months. Thus a follow—up nine of
`12 months from the start of a study is desira."‘e, but
`12 months from cessation of treatment may be even
`better. Beyond 2 years it
`is difficult
`to distinguish
`between relapse and reinfection.
`Comparative studies have shown that terbinafine is
`more effective
`than griseofulvin,
`fluconazoie and
`itraconazole in the treatment of fungal nail inf “tions.
`Griseofulvin has a low cure rate and high relapse rate
`
`in toenail disease, coupled with a more significant adverse
`event profile than newer agents. Three stus"“és9’”
`comparing griseofulvin with terbinafine have shown
`consistent advantages for
`terbinafine in teens of
`mycological and clinical cure rates, increase ir ength

`nails. In another double—blind study” over 3 months
`with a follow—up of 48 weeks, De Backer et al. recorded
`
`a riycological cure rate of 73% with terbinafine, com-
`zpared to only 438% with itraeonazole, P<O-0001
`(Fig. 2). At the end of the study, 76' 1% of the terbinafine
`‘ group had normal nails (or minimal signs). compared to

`i findings, showing terbinafine to be the more effective
`agent, are in keeping with the in vitro data.
`
`Itraconazole is now more usually given in an inter-
`' Inittent fashion, at a dose of 400 mg daily for 7 days
`each month for 3 or 4 months. An open randomised
`, study” in 63 patients compared continuous (250 mg/
`day) and intermittent (500mg/day for 7 days each
`' month)
`terbinafine with intermittent
`itraconazole
`(€lC'>0mg/day
`for 7 days each month) over 16 weeks.
`‘ Mycological cure rates 6 months after completion of
`M therapy were 94-1%, 80% and 755%. respectively. In
`f patients where mycological cure was achieved without
`nail deformities.
`there was a significant difference

`
`itraconazole 400mg/day for 7 days every 4 weeks for
`12 or 16 weeks, are presented later in this supplement.
`For the present it seems reasonable to conclude that
`terbinafine,
`taken at a dose of 250 mg daily for
`3 months,
`is
`the most effective currently available
`treatment for onychomycosis, with a cure rate of 70-
`
`80% and an excellent tolerability profile.
`
`Reasons for a continuing failure rate
`
`Despite the high cure rates that can now be achieved,
`some 20% of patients still fail to benefit from therapy.
`Leaving aside inadequate compliance. the usual reasons
`are dermatophyte resistance; inadequate drug absorp-
`tion into the affected area, often associated with the
`
`presence of a dermatophytoma; lack of any nail growth:
`and immunosupression. It seems likely that the majority
`of treatment failures are related to kinetic problems
`within the affected nail that prevent adequate penetra-
`tion of drug into the fungal mass or dermatophytoma.
`Surgical removal of such areas prior to drug therapy
`may be the answer. In general, physicians need to identify
`these patients early in the treatment cycle,
`to ensure
`that they receive treatment appropriate to their needs.
`Dystrophic
`nails

`moulds in culture are unlikely to respond adequately

`
`leading to outgrowth
`infection, which will respond,
`of saprophytic moulds and restoration of the nail to
`normal. Thus, improvement in cure rates is likely to
`follow a better understanding of treatment failure rather
`than manipulation of drugs and drug regimens.
`
`Economic considerations
`
`Effective
`
`treatment
`
`for onychomycosis has
`
`three
`
`aspects: rapid onset of action, sustained effect and a
`favourable adverse events profile. But economic con-
`siderations cannot be ignored, and several studies have
`attempted to evaluate the cost—effectiveness of
`the
`available agents. Einarson et al. compared terbinafine,
`ketoconazole and griseofulvin, and showed that terbi-
`nafine was the most cost-effective, providing the highest
`
`percentage success rate in both toenail and fingernail
`infection, and the greatest number of disease—free
`days.” Meta—analysis of data from 12 European coun-
`tries and Canada, undertaken by the same group,
`confirmed the findings.” In the USA, a comparison of
`the costs of treatment with terbinafine, griseofulvin,
`itraconazole and ketoconazole - including on this
`occasion costs related to adverse events and relapses
`as well as the drug acquisition and clinical and labora-
`tory costs — showed once again that terbinafine was the
`most cost—effective.1 8
`
`Future challenges
`
`There are several issues in the treatment of onycho-
`
`mycosis that remain to be overcome. First, the con-
`sistent failure rate of some 20% in all studies needs to
`
`be addressed. As suggested above, the most frequent
`explanation is likely to be kinetic: patients with a fungal
`mass effectively impenetrable to an antifungal agent need
`to be offered surgery before medical treatment. Second,
`the duration of treatment needs to be more closely
`
`adjusted to the individual case. Perhaps some 40% of
`those with toenail
`infection require only 6 weeks of
`treatment, but the challenge is to identify this population
`prior to therapy. Third, the combination of oral and topical
`therapy has hardly been investigated, and may be the
`route by which the duration of systemic therapy can be
`reduced. Last, there is the challenge to produce the ideal
`drug, one with a 100% cure rate and no adverse events!
