About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate topical treatment with Veregen™ 15% ointment as a single therapeutic agent and compare it to combination therapy with Veregen ™ 15% ointment and a single destructive treatment by cryotherapy for non-facial verruca vulgaris in the pediatric population. This novel treatment modality may be useful in the pediatric dermatology community offering a less invasive, painless option for treatment of non-facial verruca vulgaris.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to investigate topical treatment with Veregen™ 15% ointment as a single therapeutic agent and compare it to combination therapy with Veregen ™ 15% ointment and a single destructive treatment by cryotherapy for non-facial verruca vulgaris in the pediatric population. The investigators will compare the single and combination treatment modalities over identical time points in patients with non-facial verruca vulgaris. One of the current options for care for non-facial verruca includes cryotherapy, which is a painful and destructive method performed in the pediatric dermatology clinic. This study aims to establish the safety, non-invasivenature, efficiency, and efficacy of Veregen ™ 15% ointment as monotherapyfor non-facial verruca vulgaris in the pediatric population. The investigators hypothesize that Veregen ™ 15% ointment monotherapy will non-invasively treat non-facial verruca vulgaris with similar efficacy as combination therapy with a single cryotherapy treatment followed by topical application of Veregen ™ ointment. This novel treatment modality will be useful in the pediatric dermatology community offering a less invasive, painless option for treatment of non-facial verruca vulgaris.

Study groups in NCT02622568
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cryotherapy and VeregenActive comparatorCryotherapy will be performed on the day of first clinic visit according to current standard of care in Children's Medical Center pediatric outpatient dermatology clinic, which consists of two freeze/thaw cycles for maximum of 10 seconds each. Sinecathecins 15% ointment will be prescribed and initiated immediately following the day of first clinic visit. Sinecathecins 15% ointment will be applied to verrucous lesions twice daily. Follow-up clinical visits will be required at 0 weeks, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. Clinical photos will be taken at each visit. Verrucae will be measured at each visit using a standard ruler. Outcome measures will be numerical reduction in diameter of verruca.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Veregen only and Cryotherapy and Veregen in people with Verruca, Warts, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Sep 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Size of Verrucae (Warts) (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Sep 2017.
