Official Title: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of an Alcohol Based Hand Gel for the Reduction of Warts on the Hands

Brief Summary: The objective is to conduct a pilot study to determine the effectiveness of PURELL VF481 to treat warts located on the hands.

Detailed Summary:

  • At least 5, but not more than 20 participants will be enrolled in the study.
  • Each wart is randomly assigned a test product prior to the start of the study
  • Warts are equally distributed between products so that an equal number of warts treated on each person (2, 4, or 6), when possible one (1) product will be assigned to each hand to minimize treatment confusion for the participants
  • The test product will be applied to a wooden applicator and gently rubbed into the wart, then covered with a latex free adhesive bandage.
  • Subjects will log date and time of application and anything notable (such as changes in wart appearance or missed dose) in a log book.
  • Measurement of wart (longest diameter) and photos taken at each visit by trained office medical assistants, LPNs, PA-C or MD.
  • Time points for office visitation: Baseline (0 weeks), 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks
