NCT ID NCT07196670
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether injecting vitamin D or acyclovir directly into plantar warts is more effective. Sixty adults with plantar warts will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments, receiving up to four injections three weeks apart. After treatment, patients will be followed for one month to check for wart clearance and side effects.
