Study Overview

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

  • Group A: 54 patients will be treated with Candida antigen. All patients will be directly injected with Candida antigen into the largest wart using an insulin syringe. Injections will be done at 2-week intervals until complete clearance will be achieved or for a maximum of five treatment sessions.
  • Group B: 54 patients will be treated with bivalent HPV vaccine solution intralesional into the largest wart using an insulin syringe. Injections will be done at 2-week intervals until complete clearance will be achieved or for a maximum of five treatment sessions.
  • Group C: 54 patients will be treated with both agents intralesionally into the largest wart using an insulin syringe at 2-week intervals until complete clearance will be achieved or for a maximum of five treatment sessions.

it is thought that candida antigen act through a cell-mediated immune response and bivalent HPV vaccine act mainly through humoral immunity, so we want to study their effect as single or mixed agents

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
162

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

9 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • patients with multiple, recalcitrant, or non-recalcitrant common warts of different sites, sizes, duration, and with or without distant lesions will be enrolled in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant female. Hypersensitivity to Candida antigen or bivalent HPV vaccine

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
complete response
Time Frame: upto 3 months
if there is disappearance of warts and return of the normal skin markings
upto 3 months
partial response
Time Frame: upto 3 months
if warts regressed in size by 50-99% (the size will be measured as the summation of size of all lesions in cm)
upto 3 months
no response
Time Frame: upto 3 months
if there is < 50% decrease in wart size. (the size will be measured as the summation of size of all lesions in cm)
upto 3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
recurrence rate after recovery
Time Frame: follow up for 6 months after recovery
appearance of new lesions or recurrence of previous one
follow up for 6 months after recovery
