Mechanism of Action
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action JUBLIA topical solution is an azole antifungal [ see Clinical Pharmacology (12.4) ]. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics The pharmacodynamics of JUBLIA is unknown. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Systemic absorption of efinaconazole in 18 adult subjects with severe onychomycosis was determined after application of JUBLIA once daily for 28 days to patients’ 10 toenails and 0.5 cm adjacent skin. The concentration of efinaconazole in plasma was determined at multiple time points over the course of 24-hour periods on days 1, 14, and 28. Efinaconazole mean ± SD plasma C max on Day 28 was 0.67 ± 0.37 ng/mL and the mean ± SD AUC was 12.15 ± 6.91 ng*h/mL. The plasma concentration versus time profile at steady state was generally flat over a 24-hour dosing interval.
