5 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a multi-center, open, randomized, parallel-group, controlled, blind-assessed trial of approximately 124 subjects that require treatment for up to 5 common or plantar warts. Subjects will be randomized to one of two treatment groups: Microwave Treatment (Swift® system) or Cryotherapy.
To evaluate drug safety and efficacy in patients treated with Nowarta110 and to determine therapeutic activity against Plantar Warts * Clinical Tolerance * Clinical Recovery * Evaluate Safety
Warts are benign epidermal tumors caused by human papillomaviruses (HPVs). The active pharmaceutical ingredient DPCP has been used for many years as a compounded formulation in acetone for the treatment of warts, alopecia areata and more recently, cutaneous metastatic melanoma lesions. An improved topical ointment formulation of DPCP called Samcyprone™ will be evaluated for the treatment of common warts.
This study is a double-blinded, controlled clinical intervention trial to evaluate the efficacy of duct tape occlusions therapy for the treatment of common warts. 80 patients completed this study, and were randomized 1:1 to receive pads which contained either moleskin+transparent duct tape or moleskin alone. The patients wore the pad over the target wart for 7 days at a time, removed the pad on the evening of the 7th day, and replaced the pad on the 8th day. This cycle was repeated for 8 weeks or until the wart resolved. The hypothesis was that duct tape occlusion therapy would be more therapeutic than moleskin for the treatment of the common wart. However, in our study there was only 21% resolution rate in the duct tape arm vs. 22% in the control group.
Plantar warts on the sole of the foot are among the most common warts seen in podiatry clinics. Some patients are readily cured by simple standard of care treatments that include wart debridement (trimming or excision) and application of 17% salicylate (commercially known as Compound W)or by other treatments that may be painful and affect mobility. No treatment is consistently effective and most patients fail treatment multiple times. Ethyl pyruvate (EP)is a common food additive noted to be 'generally regarded as safe' that may improve the activity of salicylate in wart treatment by improving the ability to penetrate and/or persist in the skin. The use of 17% salicylate with the addition of EP may improve cures of common foot plantar warts in subjects who also be receiving other standard-of-care treatment.
