Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare outcome in healthy subjects 12 years of age and older with at least 3, but no more than 20, common warts (Verruca vulgaris) following treatment with Candin or placebo. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • does treatment with Candin result in better clearance of warts than placebo

  • how many injections are required to result in wart clearance Participants will

  • have one wart selected for injection every two weeks until clearance

  • return 12 weeks after wart clearance for assessment of durability of response

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • At least 3, but not more than 20 common warts (Verruca vulgaris)

  • Willing to agree to use adequate contraception methods during the study

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Systemic or localized diseases, conditions, or medications that could interfere withthe assessment of safety or efficacy or that compromise immune function

  • Candin delayed type hypersensitivity reaction test wheal sized < 5 mm or > 25 mm atthe Baseline Visit

Study Description

This study involves a comparison of an equal volume injection of Candin with an injection of placebo (unpreserved normal saline solution) in common warts. Subjects will be randomized 2:1 to receive Candin or placebo. During the Treatment Period, 1 dose (0.5 mL) of investigational product (IP) will be injected every 2 weeks into a single treatment wart until either clinical clearance of the treatment wart is achieved or a total of 10 injections have been administered.

Subjects achieving clinical clearance of the treatment wart will receive a final injection at the site of the cleared wart and then immediately enter the Observational Period for 12 weeks. Complete resolution is achieved when a subject demonstrates clinical clearance for 12 weeks.
