Filter by:A total of sixty patients presented to the outpatient dermatology department of Combined military hospital (CMH) Abbottabad with signs of molluscum contagiosum clinically diagnosed meeting inclusion criteria were enrolled. Sample size was calculated using WHO sample size calculator. They were divided into two groups i.e Group A and Group B using lottery method. Patients in Group A were subjected to cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen gas) whereas patients in Group B patients were subjected to 10% potassium hydroxide solution for 3 weeks and were followed up at 2nd, 4th, 8th and 12th week for observing the progress of therapy in both groups on each follow up visit and ascertaining the efficacy respectively.
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.
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.
This study is going to test a cold atmospheric plasma device (CAP), in particular a floating electrode-dielectric barrier device (FE-DBD), to treat warts and molluscum. The treatment device in this study generates cold atmospheric plasma (gaseous ionized molecules) to rid the virus from the body. Based on the successes of previous dermatologic studies, FE-DBD is being tested for this study to treat warts and molluscum. Patients will be enrolled to test the efficacy and safety of this device. The duration of the study is 4-12 weeks depending on treatment clearance. The number of lesions will be chosen by the dermatologist. Patients will receive standard of care therapy and/or NTAP depending on the number of lesions.
This is a phase 3 multi-center, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, parallel group study to be conducted in up to approximately 850 subjects 6 months of age and older with molluscum contagiosum (MC). Subjects or their caregivers will apply SB206 10.3% 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.
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.

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 study is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pivotal study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of VP-102 topical film-forming solution in subjects with Molluscum Contagiosum. VP-102 will be applied once every 21 days for up to 4 applications, to treatable molluscum contagiosum (molluscum) lesions on subjects 2 years and older. Efficacy will be assessed as the proportion of subjects achieving complete clearance of all treatable molluscum lesions (baseline and new) on the Day 84 visit.
