Females of child-bearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test. * Presence of interdigital only or both interdigital and moccasin types of tinea pedis on one or both feet characterized by clinical evidence of a tinea infection (at least moderate erythema, moderate scaling and mild pruritus) based on signs and symptoms in the affected area(s)).
Exclusion criteria
* Subjects with life-threatening condition (ex. autoimmune deficiency syndrome, cancer,unstable angina or myocardial infarction) within the last 6 months. * Subjects with abnormal findings - physical or laboratory - that are considered by the investigator to be clinically important and indicative of conditions that might complicate interpretation of study results. * Subjects with a known hypersensitivity to study drugs or their components. * Subjects who have a recent history or who are currently known to abuse alcohol or drugs. * Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. * Hemodialysis or chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis therapy. * Current diagnosis of immunocompromising conditions. * Foot psoriasis, corns and/or callus involving any web spaces, atopic or contact dermatitis. * Severe dermatophytoses, onychomycosis (on the evaluated foot), mucocutaneous candidiasis or bacterial skin infection. * Extremely severe tinea pedis (incapacitating). * Female subject who is pregnant or lactating, who is not using or does not agree to use an acceptable form of contraception during the study, or who intends to become pregnant during the study

Outcome results
Primary
Complete Cure of Interdigital Tinea Pedis
The primary efficacy comparison between NAFT-600 gel and placebo will be based on the percentage of subjects at Week 6 with complete cure of interdigital tinea pedis. Complete cure is defined as negative mycology results (dermatophyte culture and KOH) and the absence of erythema, scaling, and pruritus.
Time frame: Visit 4/ Week 6
Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) defined as the subset of all subjects in the Safety Evaluation Set (SES) with a positive mycology culture at baseline and for whom the primary efficacy variable is available. This was a modified intent to treat principle because culture results were not available before the start of treatment.
| Arm | Measure | Value (NUMBER) |
|---|---|---|
| NAFT-600 | Complete Cure of Interdigital Tinea Pedis | 16.8 percentage of subjects |
| Placebo | Complete Cure of Interdigital Tinea Pedis | 1.7 percentage of subjects |
Comparison: In order to compare complete cure rate in the NAFT-600 group with that of the placebo group, the following one-sided hypothesis test was carried out:~H0 (null): p1\<=p0 versus Ha (alternate): p1\>p0, where p0 and p1 are the proportions of subjects with complete cure in the proportions of subjects with complete cure in the placebo and NAFT-600 treatment groups respectively.p-value: <0.025Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel
