SUMMARY

This is a Phase 3, double-blind, randomized, vehicle-controlled study (Study number VP-CW-301; referred to as COVE-2 \[Cantharidin and Occlusion in Verruca Epithelium\]) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of YCANTH (VP-102) treatment in subjects with common warts.

Eligibility
Participation Requirements
Sex: All
Minimum Age: 2
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

⁃ Candidates will be included in the study if they:

• Are male or female patients ≥ 2 years of age.

• Are immunocompetent.

• Have a minimum of 1 treatable common wart (verruca vulgaris) of any size and height:

∙ Common warts are considered treatable if they are located anywhere on the body, except for the following excluded areas: the eye area (including eyelids), lips, oral cavity, nasal cavity, inside of the ears, soles of the feet (plantar warts), subungual spaces (ie, under the fingernail or toenail), or the anogenital area (warts within 10 mm of a mucosal surface should not be treated).

‣ Common warts located in excluded areas (warts within 10 mm of a mucosal surface) will not be treated or evaluated in this study. Warts that are genital, plantar, or anal are not considered common warts and are thus excluded from treatment and evaluation in this study. A subject will not be excluded from the study if they have these types of warts, but the subject must also have warts that meet the inclusion criteria.

• If treatment of these excluded wart types is required during the study, it should be limited to destructive therapy such as cryosurgery and warts cannot be within 10 mm of any warts that are under study.

• Have no systemic or dermatologic disorder, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, will interfere with the study results or increase the risk of AEs.

• Agree to refrain from swimming, bathing, or prolonged immersion in water or any liquids until the study drug is removed after each treatment.

• Have the ability, or have a parent/guardian with the ability, to follow study instructions and the willingness to complete all study requirements.

• Agree not to use any wart-removing product (prescription or over-the-counter) other than the study drug during the course of the study, with the exception of circumstances allowed under Inclusion Criterion 3b.

• Provide written informed consent or assent in a manner approved by the IRB and/or have a parent/guardian provide written informed consent as evidenced by the signature on an IRB approved assent/consent form. Subjects who turn 18 years of age (or legal age per state or country) during the study will be required to re-consent to remain on the study.

• Provide written authorization for use and disclosure of protected health information (per state and/or country requirements).

⁃ If participating in the optional photographic assessment, agree to allow photographs of treatable common warts to be taken at selected visits by the research team.
