New foot fungus film shows promise in early trial

NCT ID NCT07668999

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new topical film called ZYG24004 for athlete's foot (tinea pedis). About 64 adults with the infection will apply the film to their feet once or twice. The main goals are to check safety, how the body processes the drug, and whether it can clear the fungus. Results will help decide if larger studies are warranted.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

ZYG24004 (a topical film-forming formulation applied to the feet)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new topical treatment for athlete's foot that is easy to apply and may require fewer doses.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1b study with only 64 participants, focused on safety and dosing. It is too small to prove effectiveness, and the treatment may not work better than a placebo.
