Vial, a global tech-driven CRO providing next-generation clinical trial management services, has partnered with Nielsen BioSciences, Inc. (Nielsen), a privately-held biopharmaceutical company based in San Diego, CA, to study the safety and efficacy of CANDIN for the treatment of common warts. Nielsen focuses on developing and commercializing biological products with wide-ranging applications of cell-mediated immune responses.
Vial will support Nielsen with their Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study of CANDIN for the treatment of Verruca vulgaris (common warts) in adolescents and adults in the U.S. and Japan. CANDIN is an approved diagnostic skin test and currently not approved by the FDA or Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency for the treatment of common warts. Vial’s Dermatology CRO will work closely with the Nielsen Biosciences team through the completion of the Phase III clinical trial.
“Vial is thrilled to collaborate with Nielsen on their Phase III clinical trial in the U.S. and Japan. We are committed to delivering high-quality trials powered by innovative technology that are affordable for sponsors. We have full confidence in our ability to drive optimal outcomes for this important study,” said Wendy Pinson, Senior Director of Clinical Operations at Vial.
Vial promises to deliver faster, more efficient trials for biotech sponsors at an affordable rate. Vial‘s Dermatology CRO distinguishes itself by leveraging digital technology, such as its Vial Technology Platform, combining eSource, EDC, and ePRO in one connected system to streamline site processes. Vial EDC is a modern, intuitive, and hyper-responsive EDC platform delivering a consumer-grade experience and next-generation performance to eClinical software. These best-in-class CRO services will accelerate the development of new therapies and devices for sponsors and patients.
“Common warts are estimated to affect 10 percent of the global population but have no prescription-approved treatment. We look forward to partnering with the Vial team on CANDIN’s Phase III clinical trial,” said David P. Burney, Ph.D., MBA, President and COO at Nielsen BioSciences. “Our thoughtful discussion with their team, combined with an outstanding comprehensive presentation, gave us full confidence that this important clinical trial for common warts will be managed to the highest standards in the industry.”
Verruca vulgaris are benign lesions caused by infection of the skin with the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are raised lesions on the skin, commonly on the fingers, palms, knees, and soles of the feet. Since warts are caused by a viral infection, skin symptoms can be widespread and refractory.
