About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Phase 2a Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of DPCP Ointment (Samcyprone™) on the Clearance of Verruca Vulgaris (Common Warts) in Subjects Ages 18 - 65 Years

Warts are benign epidermal tumors caused by human papillomaviruses (HPVs). The active pharmaceutical ingredient DPCP has been used for many years as a compounded formulation in acetone for the treatment of warts, alopecia areata and more recently, cutaneous metastatic melanoma lesions. An improved topical ointment formulation of DPCP called Samcyprone™ will be evaluated for the treatment of common warts.

Study groups in NCT02640820
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Sensitization PhaseExperimentalUp to two doses of Sensitizing DPCP Ointment will be applied and subjects who exhibit a sensitization response will enter the Treatment Phase. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Sensitizing DPCP Ointment will be measured in a subset of subjects. For PK, blood will be collected prior to application of the Sensitizing DPCP Ointment and again at 1, 2, and 24 hours after application.
Receives: Drug: Sensitizing DPCP Ointment
Treatment PhaseExperimentalIn the Treatment Phase, subjects will receive doses of Treatment DPCP Ointment weekly for 10 weeks. Subjects who at the end of the Treatment Phase have exhibited partial clearance of warts may be given the option to continue with an additional 10 weekly treatments.
Receives: Drug: Treatment DPCP Ointment

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The effectiveness of Sensitizing DPCP Ointment in eliciting a sensitization response in healthy subjects with common warts by assessing the immunotherapeutic response

    Assessment of immunotherapeutic response per subject will include gauging the Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity (DTH) response after application sensitizing DPCP ointment. A minimum +2 DTH response will be considered a positive sensitization result

    Measured: 4 to 6 weeks

  2. The effectiveness of Treatment DPCP Ointment will be measured by the Investigator's Global Assessment Score (IGAS)

    The Investigator's Global Assessment Score (IGAS) is a 4-point scale that will be used to evaluate wart clearance for all treated warts separately. Results will further be utilized to determine overall clearance of treated warts in total. Wart lesion surface area will be measured and used to assist in determining IGAS Score.

    Measured: 11 to 20 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. The safety and tolerability of a treatment regimen for common warts consisting of a sensitization dose with Sensitizing DPCP Ointment and ten weekly treatments with Treatment DPCP Ointment, assessed by reported adverse events

    Reported adverse events and clinically-relevant changes in laboratory testing after treatment will be monitored for severity and frequency; incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events will be assessed

    Measured: 30 weeks

  2. To evaluate Cmax by pharmacokinetics (PK) of DPCP in blood after topical administration of the Sensitizing DPCP Ointment in a subset of subjects

    Determine Cmax of Sensitizing DPCP Ointment in whole blood

    Measured: 2 days

  3. To evaluate the time to Cmax by pharmacokinetics (PK) of DPCP in blood after topical administration of the Sensitizing DPCP Ointment in a subset of subjects

    Determine the time of Cmax of Sensitizing DPCP Ointment in whole blood

    Measured: 2 days

  4. To evaluate the time to last measurable concentration (Tlast) by pharmacokinetics (PK) of DPCP in blood after topical administration of the Sensitizing DPCP Ointment in a subset of subjects

    Determine Tlast of Sensitizing DPCP Ointment in whole blood

    Measured: 2 days

  5. To evaluate the concentration corresponding to Tlast (Clast) by pharmacokinetics (PK) of DPCP in blood after topical administration of the Sensitizing DPCP Ointment in a subset of subjects

    Determine Clast of Sensitizing DPCP Ointment in whole blood

    Measured: 2 days

  6. To evaluate the area under the concentration curve (AUC) by pharmacokinetics (PK) of DPCP in blood after topical administration of the Sensitizing DPCP Ointment in a subset of subjects

    Determine the AUC of Sensitizing DPCP Ointment in whole blood

    Measured: 2 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sensitizing DPCP Ointment and Treatment DPCP Ointment in people with Common Warts and HPV (Human Papillomavirus), run by RXi Pharmaceuticals, Corp. at 4 sites 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 3 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The effectiveness of Sensitizing DPCP Ointment in eliciting a sensitization response in healthy subjects with common warts by assessing the immunotherapeutic response (time frame: 4 to 6 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 23 Feb 2018.
