Nanopulse Efficacy Study for the Treatment of Common Warts
NCT02650466 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if the Nanopulse System can be used to clear common wart lesions on the skin. The Nanopulse System uses a series of low energy, high voltage pulses, each one several billionths of a second in duration, to effectively kill the target tissue contained within the applicator tip electrodes with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. Efficacy and patient outcomes are expected to equal or surpass current treatment modalities in terms of increased ease of use, faster patient healing and minimal scarring with fewer complications resulting from treatment. The device emits significantly less energy than existing electro-surgery or electro-cautery equipment and is believed to be similar to laser therapy treatment of warts. Trained clinicians can usually diagnose warts based by their appearance and location . Non-genital warts are subcategorized into common, periungual, flat, filiform, and plantar types. Common warts are benign, often skin-colored, or brown-grey, rough, bumpy growths on the hands and feet (caused by Human Papilloma Virus type 2) . Common warts in individuals without any immune deficiencies are low risk and are the focus of this study.Based upon the preclinical profile of the Nanopulse device, particularly its safety profile and its effect on transformed cells, it is hypothesized that application of pulses from the Nanopulse System , will result in complete clinical clearance of Common Wart lesions with minimal scarring.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02650466
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02650466 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 24 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Southern California, which has 412 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Common Warts appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Nanopulse System is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02650466 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
