Active clinical trials for "Warts"

Warts are benign epidermal tumors caused by human papilloma virus, which are epitheliotropic non-enveloped double stranded DNA viruses. Transmission of warts occurs from direct person-to-person contact or indirectly by fomites . Warts appear in various forms including verruca vulgaris, plane, plantar, filiform, digitate and periungual.

This is a placebo-controlled, double-blind (subject, Investigator, and site staff with the exception of unblinded dedicated staff to handle study medication), phase 2a study with 3 dose cohorts, randomized (concealed) to CANDIN or placebo (3:1). Main study will be up to 20 weeks (10 doses administered every other week) or until a subject has complete resolution of all injectable common warts. Subjects who cannot tolerate dosing every 2 weeks due to a local tolerance issue may be injected at 3-week intervals for up to 10 doses, increasing the length of the study to 29 weeks. Subjects will be followed for 4 months after final injection(s) for evidence of new or reoccurring warts and for safety evaluation.

Common warts are papulonodular epidermal lesions caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) usually by the strains 1, 2, 4, 27 or 57. Cutaneous warts occur in 7% to 10% of the general population, with a maximum incidence between 12 and 16 years. There are multiple destructive treatment modalities of wart but they have many adverse effects. Hence immunotherapy is becoming popular in treatment of warts. It is believed that the injection to the HPV-infected tissue induces a strong nonspecific pro-inflammatory signal and attracts the antigen-presenting cells. Which then promotes a Th1 cytokine response and leads to delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction leading to the eradication of the HPV-infected cells. We are undertaking a study to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of 2 such immunotherapeutic agents namely, IL measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine versus IL vitamin D3 for the treatment of warts. RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS Null Hypotheses: IL MMR vaccine is not better than IL Vitamin D in the treatment of wart Alternative hypothesis: IL MMR vaccine is better than IL Vitamin D in the treatment of wart Method: A total of 60 patients will be included in the study, 30 in each group. Group A and Group B patients will be injected with 0.5 ml of IL MMR and 0.5 ml of IL vitamin D3 respectively into a single or a maximum of 5 warts at a time in case of multiple warts. The IL injection will be given every 3 weeks for a maximum of 5 doses. Clinical assessment will be done by taking photographs and measurements at baseline, before each treatment session, and 3 months after the completion of treatment. The response will be evaluated by a decrease in the size and number of the wart(s) and photographic comparison. The response will be considered complete if there is a complete clearance of the wart(s), good if the wart(s) will regress in size by 75-99%, moderate if they regress by 50-74% and no or mild if there will be a 0-49% decrease in wart(s). Immediate and late side effects of MMR and Vitamin D will be evaluated after each session. Follow up will be made monthly for 3 months to detect any recurrence. Quality of life (QoL) will be measured in wart patients, using the Nepali version of the dermatology life quality index (DLQI) questionnaire before initiation of treatment and at the end of follow up. Statistical analysis will be done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 10.5 version.

This prospective, non-randomized, multicenter pivotal study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the CellFX System in patients with cutaneous non-genital warts on all areas of the body, excluding the face.

This phase I/IIa study has an open-label, First-in-Human (FIH), single center design to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of multiple doses of topically applied CLS003 in healthy subjects with cutaneous warts.

The goal of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the occlusive heat patch for the treatment of verrucae (warts).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether imiquimod creams are effective in treating external genital warts (EGW). The secondary objective of this study is to provide information on recurrence of EGW. Additionally the study will also look at any adverse events associated with the use of the creams. External genital and perianal warts are caused by the infection of human papillomavirus or HPV. HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). External genital warts look like small flesh-colored, pink, or red growths on or around the external skin of sex organs or perianal area. The warts may look similar to the small parts of a cauliflower or they may be very tiny and difficult to see. They often appear in clusters of three or four, and may grow and spread rapidly. They usually are not painful, although they may cause mild pain, bleeding, and itching.

The objective is to conduct a pilot study to determine the effectiveness of PURELL VF481 to treat warts located on the hands.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness in pediatric subjects of three different strengths of resiquimod gel applied to common wart(s) three times a week for up to twelve weeks. A second purpose is to evaluate the safety of the drug.
