Active clinical trials for "Molluscum Contagiosum"

Patients between 4-21 years of age with at least one wart or molluscum lesion are eligible to participate in this study. The duration of the study is a minimum of 4 weeks with the maximum duration of monthly treatments for one year, depending on lesion clearance. The number of lesions will be chosen by the dermatologist. Patients who opt to participate will receive non-thermal, or cold, atmospheric plasma to treat all lesions selected. Safety profile as well as changes in size, pain and appearance will be measured. Photographs and dermatologist impressions will be used to measure treatment response.

This study examines the efficacy of a non-thermal, atmospheric plasma device in the treatment of skin disorders

Non-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing efficacy of topical benzoyl peroxide 10% (vehicle choice per patient preference: e.g. gel, cream, lotion, wash) to topical adapalene 0.1% gel in the treatment of molluscum contagiosum in children aged 1 year old to 14 years old. Two treatment wings: topical benzoyl peroxide 10% (vehicle choice per patient preference) applied 1-2x daily as tolerated vs adapalene 0.1% gel applied 1-2x daily as tolerated. Primary outcome: Complete clearance at 12wks (defined as lack of identifiable papular molluscum contagiosum lesions on physical exam) Secondary outcomes: % change in lesion count at 12wks.

Molutrex® a 5% potassium hydroxide solution for topical application to the skin. Molutrex® is intended for the superficial treatment of certain types of warts, molluscum contagiosum and is composed of potassium hydroxide (5%) purified water. With regard to the 2017/745 RDM, he is a class IIa medical device. In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 5, 2017 relating to medical devices, as part of the Molutrex® Post-Marketing Monitoring Plan, the objective of this study is to have data on the performance , safety and suitability for real-life use of Molutrex® in a prospective cohort of patients with molluscum contagiosum. Since molluscum contagiosum is most prevalent in children, and potassium hydroxide is used very little in adults (because most often they are immunocompromised patients requiring other antiviral treatments), the study will be conducted in children aged 2 to 10 years. This population represents the majority of patients treated with Molutrex®, although the product can be used in adults. The study includes 2 visits, the objective of the study being to evaluate the percentage of children healed at 45 days, healing defined by a reduction of more than 90% in the number of lesions present at inclusion in the study.

This trial will examine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of one strength of East Indian sandalwood oil (EISO) in a cream base compared to a placebo for treatment of molluscum contagiosum in pediatric subjects. Trial participants will be asked to apply study medication twice a day for sixty (60) days. Efficacy will be evaluated by clinical staff and patients will be asked to assess tolerability as well as any improvement experienced during the trial.

The primary objective of the study is to determine the presence or absence of systemic cantharidin exposure from a single 24-hour dermal application of VP-102 topical film-forming solution [0.7% (w/v) cantharidin] (VP-102) when applied to molluscum contagiosum (molluscum) lesions on pediatric subjects 2 years old and older. Treatment will continue over the course of 3 additional 21 day intervals allowing for further evaluation of safety, efficacy and impact on quality of life.

This is a phase 2 multi-center, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled ascending dose study to be conducted in non-immunocompromised subjects with molluscum contagiosum.

This is a Phase 3 multi-center, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, parallel group study to be conducted in up to approximately 340 subjects ≥6 months of age with MC. Subjects or their caregivers will apply SB206 12% or Vehicle Gel once daily for a minimum of 4 weeks and up to 12 weeks to all lesions identified at Baseline and new treatable lesions that arise during the course of the study.

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Vehicle-Controlled Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Tolerability, and Safety of Topical VBP-245 in Pediatric Subjects for the Treatment of Molluscum Contagiosum (VBP-245-MCV).

Molluscum is a virus-related skin infestation which is commonly seen among children. Molluscipox virus, the largest human virus, causes it. MC typically manifests as a single or multiple dome-shaped, shiny, pearly white papules with a central dimple. In immunocompetent individuals, spontaneous resolution usually occurs within 18 months; however, the lesion may persist for several years. Asymptomatic lesions are common. It is also linked to a high risk of transmission and an increasing prevalence in global populations1-2. Patients may receive therapy for social and cosmetic reasons, and also to avoid spreading disease to others. Numerous modalities are currently available, including Potassium hydroxide, curettage, cryotherapy, disinfected needle pricking, photodynamic therapy, laser, salicylic acid, glycolic acid etc3-4. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is a topical treatment for Molluscum contagiosum. Dermatologists routinely use potassium hydroxide (KOH) in varying concentrations to identify fungal elements. Because it is a strong alkali with keratolytic characteristics, variable concentrations given for management of MC. Because it is inexpensive and widely accessible, it has the potential to be a useful method for treating for MC in resource-constrained countries5-6. The purpose of this study is to examine two varied concentrations of Potassium hydroxide (5%-KOH vs 10%-KOH) among MC patients in order to determine the most effective KOH concentration to manage Molluscum Contagiosum among children.
