Wart war: which treatment wins – acid, fungus extract, or both?

NCT ID NCT07329907

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested three ways to treat warts: a topical acid solution, injections of candida antigen (a yeast extract), and a combination of both. 126 people with warts took part. The goal was to see which approach cleared warts best, including warts not directly treated, and how often they came back. Results will help doctors choose the most effective option.

Active substance

salicylic acid/lactic acid topical solution and candida antigen injection

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a more effective, affordable treatment for warts that clears both treated and distant warts.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed Phase 2 trial, so results may not apply to everyone. Warts can recur, and treatments may cause pain or skin reactions.
