Clinical Trial Summary

The principal aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of the tested product on common and plantar wart after 35 days of treatment. For this study, 33 patients presenting at least one common wart on the fingers, back on the hand or a plantar wart of a size between 0.1 and 0.5cm and present since less than 6 months will be included to reach this objective

Clinical Trial Description

Warts are the cutaneous manifestations of human papillomavirus (HPV). (1) Cutaneous warts are benign, spontaneously regressing, epithelial tumors differing in clinical morphology depending on the human papilloma virus HPV-types. (2) Warts may exist in different forms given the epithelial surface and HPV type responsible for the infection. Common warts (Verruca vulgaris), plantar warts (Verruca plantaris), flat or planar warts (Verruca plana), and genital warts (Condyloma acuminata) are some of the clinical manifestations of HPV infection. (1) Warts are most common on your hands, feet, and face. (3) Warts are common worldwide and affect approximately 10% of the population. In school-aged children, the prevalence is as high as 10% to 20% (4). The range of greatest incidence is between 12 and 16 years of age. (1) It is known that nearly two-thirds of warts spontaneously disappear within 24 months. (4) The majority of warts do not cause symptoms. However, they do cause cosmetic disfigurement and, in a rare patient, may cause localized pain. Plantar warts can be painful because of compression and extensive friction that can lead to bleeding. (4) Once the diagnosis is made, the treatment depends on symptoms, patient preferences, and cost. Even though there are many treatments for warts, none is very effective, and recurrences are common with each of them. (4) This is why, developing a product that is effective against warts seems necessary. PODERM Professional has developed an innovative wart-treatment formula based on biomimetics. The principal aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of the tested product on common and plantar wart after 35 days of treatment. For this study, 33 patients presenting at least one common wart on the fingers, back on the hand or a plantar wart of a size between 0.1 and 0.5cm and present since less than 6 months will be included to reach this objective. ;
