Therefore, PCR will be performed within 4 weeks of the last treatment visit, which will occur at 52 weeks, or within 4 weeks of the last visit at which clinical success was achieved. In the PCR examination, the presence of dermatophyte fungi that cause onychomycosis will be analyzed as an evaluation criterion.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Rate of PCR negativity for dermatophyte fungi within 4 weeks after end of treatment or within 4 weeks of the visit when clinical success was achieved."}
