NCT ID NCT07637734

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests YCANTH, a topical solution containing cantharidin (a substance from blister beetles), against a placebo for treating common warts. About 300 people aged 2 and older with at least one wart on their body (excluding certain areas) will receive either the active treatment or a vehicle control. The main goal is to see if YCANTH can completely clear all treatable warts by day 84, with a secondary focus on sustained clearance.
