About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Evaluation of Cidofovir Therapy For Recurrent Laryngeal Papillomatosis in Children

The purpose of this study is to see what dose of the drug cidofovir is safe to treat laryngeal papillomatosis (warts in the throat which occur over and over) in children.

Laryngeal papillomatosis is caused by infection with a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV). At present, there is no approved drug to treat this infection. However, cidofovir is a drug effective against several viruses. Cidofovir may be able to attack the HPV virus. This study tests the safety of giving this drug to children.

Read the detailed description

Your child will be assigned randomly (like tossing a coin) to receive either cidofovir or placebo (an inactive substance). Neither you nor your doctor will know which your child is receiving. Your child will undergo a total of 6 bronchoscopic procedures, which involves placing a tube down your child's throat so that the warts can be seen and treated. The warts will be removed by laser or other procedures and the study drug injected. Study drug will be injected at the sites of all newly removed warts and warts which were removed during earlier study visits. This procedure will be performed every other week. Blood and urine tests will also be performed at this time. Your child will be under general anesthesia during each procedure and will be in the surgery unit for about 6 to 8 hours. Your child will also have to be seen by the doctor 2 days after the procedure. Your child will be followed for a total of 5 years to make sure he/she develops normally and to monitor any side effects of cidofovir. Follow-up visits will take place at Months 3, 6, and then once every 6 months through Year 5. If necessary, laser or other procedures will be performed at these visits to remove any warts.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cidofovir in people with Papilloma, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) 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 4 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 27 Aug 2010. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

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 27 Aug 2010.
