Study summary

A clinical endpoint bioequivalence (BE) study for a Podofilox Gel 0.5% formulation for the treatment of external anogenital warts in comparison to Condylox® Gel 0.5% that follows the study design and recommendations according to Office of Generic Drugs (OGD) of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Draft Guidance for Podofilox recommendations

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, parallel group, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, trial with clinical endpoint comparing Podofilox Topical Gel 0.5% to Condylox® Gel 0.5% and a matching placebo. The study will be conducted among adult male and female patients with external anogenital warts. The Investigator will assess vital signs and perform physical examination identifying any clinically significant abnormalities. Laboratory samples will be collected, including HIV, Hepatitis B\&C, and urine pregnancy tests (UPT) for women of childbearing potential. The Investigator will confirm the diagnosis of External Anogenital Warts (EAW) and the absence of contraindications specified in the exclusion criterion 4 during the visual examination. The biopsy of skin lesions will be performed per the discretion of the Investigator for microscopic verification of the diagnosis of EAWs if any doubts of the diagnosis.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number and Percentage of Subjects With Total Disappearance of All Warts Within All Treated Areas.

    The primary endpoint is the Number and Percentage of subjects in the per protocol (PP) population with "treatment success" defined as "total disappearance of all warts within all treated areas".

    Time frame: 28 days.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Local Application Site Reaction Scores (Erythema, Dryness, Burning/Stinging, Erosion, Edema, Pain, Itching, and Bleeding) Per Skin Reaction Scale.

    Local application site reactions scores (erythema, dryness, burning/stinging, erosion, edema, pain, itching and bleeding) in each group during the study drug application period. Other adverse events including serious adverse events throughout the study participation. Local skin reaction scores for erythema, dryness, burning/stinging, erosion, edema, pain, itching and bleeding will be recorded by the Investigator for every study visit based on their intensity. Skin Reaction Scale will be used absent, mild (slight, barely perceptible), moderate (distinct presence) and severe (marked, intense).

    Time frame: 28 days (at visit 6)

  2. Analysis of Safety Variables Will be Based on All Adverse Events (AE).

    AEs will be summarized based on the frequency of AEs and their severity for all treated subjects.

    Time frame: The AE reporting period for this study begins with the signature of the Informed Consent Form and, for unresolved AEs, ends 30 days following the last study medication application, a total of up to 65 days.
