About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Local Hyperthermia for the Treatment of Flat Warts After 4 Months: a Single-center, Single-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial

flat warts are a superficial viral skin disease, extremely common in childhood.Treatment of warts is often difficult and involves different destructive procedures.Although several pharmacological and physical topical treatments are available (keratolytic agents, electrosurgery, cryotherapy, carbon dioxide laser), results are often unsatisfactory in terms of efficacy (frequent recurrence) and cosmetic outcome (scars, inflammatory reactions, transient or permanent hyper- or hypopigmentation).

Mild local Hyperthermia with a certain temperature range has been successfully used in the treatment of some diseases. It has been utilised in the treatment of some neoplasm, fungal and HPV infections. Investigators' study found that local hyperthermia at 44°C could cleared HPV in more than half of the patients with plantar warts. Investigators also note the fact that in patients with multiple lesions, the clearance of the target lesion is commonly followed by clearance of other distant lesions, a phenomenon suggesting that local hyperthermia could aid in establishing a specific immune response to eliminate HPV.So the purpose of the study is to evaluation local hyperthermia in the treatment of flat warts Appropriate control arms were designed for different conditions.

Receives: Drug: Imiquimod treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. clearance rates of HPV

    to evaluate the clearance rates of all lesions in different treatment groups 3 month after treatment.

    Measured: 3 months after the last time of treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. effective rates of HPV

    to evaluate the effective rates of all lesions in different treatment groups 3 month after treatment.

    Measured: 3 months after the last time of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Imiquimod treatment and Local Hyperthermia at 44℃ in people with Human Papilloma Virus, run by First Hospital of China Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2021. 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 China. 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.

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?

Contact Xinghua Gao (+86 139 4015 2467, gaobarry@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

clearance rates of HPV (time frame: 3 months after the last time of treatment). 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 7 Dec 2021.
