Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCTVP-102

A single-use applicator and applied in sufficient quantity to cover the entirety of each treatable common wart, including approximately a 1 to 2 mm margin of surrounding, healthy skin. The contents of no more than 2 applicators may be applied at each treatment visit. Each applicator contains 0.45 mL of 0.7% w/v cantharidin. Occlusive tape (occlusive tape with similar properties should be used across all clinical sites) will be applied to warts that have been treated. Once applied, the occlusive tape should be gently rubbed to maximize adherence to the treated area.

Vehicle is contained in a single-use applicator and applied in sufficient quantity to cover the entirety of each treatable common wart, including approximately a 1 to 2 mm margin of surrounding, healthy skin. The contents of no more than 2 applicators may be applied at each treatment visit. The Vehicle applicator contains the same excipient formulation as the VP-102 applicator but does not contain the active pharmaceutical ingredient cantharidin. Occlusive tape (occlusive tape with similar properties should be used across all clinical sites) will be applied to warts that have been treated. Once applied, the occlusive tape should be gently rubbed to maximize adherence to the treated area.
