Active clinical trials

Our ongoing investment in clinical trials supports our commitment to pushing the boundaries of medical innovation, seeking solutions that improve lives and advance healthcare.

Common & plantar warts

  • 6 US sites: Chicago (Dr Bhatia), Nashville (Dr Gold), Miami (Dr Waibel), Tampa (Dr Tharp), Palm Harbor (Dr Tharp), Chicago (Dr Fleischer)

  • Approximately 124 patients, randomised to Microwave TX (5-10W, 2-3sec, 3-5 times) vs. cryotherapy (5-10 seconds liquid nitrogen spray, 2 cycles separated by complete thaw)

Primary Endpoint

  • Clearance of all treated warts at 3 months past final TX

Secondary Endpoints

  • Clearance of all treated warts using photographs (3, 6 and 12 months)

  • Clearance by the number of warts treated (3 months)

  • Change from baseline for size of treated warts post final treatment (3, 6 and 12 months)

  • Pain score (3, 6 and 12 months)

  • Clearance of all treated warts (6 and 12 months)

  • Reoccurrence (6 and 12 months)

  • Resolution rate (3 months)

  • Patient satisfaction (6 and 12 months)

  • Adverse events

Actinic keratosis

  • 2 sites (Germany and US): Wuppertal (Prof Dirschka), Miami (Dr Waibel)

  • Approximately 60 patients, randomised to microwave treatment on half of their mapped AK lesions

  • 3-4W, 3 seconds, 3 times with a 20 second gap

Primary Endpoint

  • Clearance of ≥ 75% treated AK at 2 months after the first TX

Secondary Endpoints

  • Clearance of ≥ 75% treated AK (4 and 6 months)
  • Proportion of subjects with clearance of all AK study lesions (2, 4 and 6 months)

  • Percentage of AK study lesions cleared (2, 4 and 6 months)
  • Pain score during and after treatment
  • Reoccurance (6 and 12 months)
  • Cosmetic outcomes of treated versus untreated AK lesions (2, 4 and 6 months)
  • Adverse events
  • Patient satisfaction

Fungal nail

  • 1 Canadian site: London, Ontario (Dr Gupta)
  • 45 patients
  • Randomised to microwave therapy at three different time intervals: 7-9W, 1 sec, 5 times

Primary Endpoints

  • Safety of the three treatment regimens (up to 6 months)
  • 'FDA efficacy' = temporary increase in clear nail at 3 and 6 months

Secondary Endpoints

  • Safety of the three treatment regimens beyond 6 months
  • Increase in nail clearance (6 months)
  • Mycological cure (6, 9 and 12 months)
  • Effective cure (6, 9 and 12 months)
  • Patient satisfaction
