Exploratory Evaluation of Imiquimod 5% Cream in the Treatment of External Genital or Perianal Warts in HIV+ Patients Treated With HAART (CD4+ ≥ 200 Cells mm3): An Open Labeled, Non-Comparative Study


To evaluate the percentage of HIV+ subjects successfully treated with HAART, with total
clearance (100%) of baseline external genital or perianal warts within 16 weeks of treatment
with imiquimod 5% cream.


Inclusion Criteria:



1. Subject able to understand and willing to give written informed consent.

2. Subject ≥ 18 and < 70 years of age.

immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA)), Western Blot assay, or HIV viral load.

4. Treated with HAART for at least six months and compliant with the treatment.

5. Evidence of efficacy of HAART: total CD4+ lymphocyte counts of ≥ 200 cells/mm3 AND
plasma HIV RNA level < 104 RNA copies/mL within four weeks prior to the Treatment
Initiation Visit.

6. Presence of at least one visible genital or perianal wart as determined by clinical
diagnosis.

7. Total wart area > 10 mm2 and ≤ 4000 mm2 (diameter > 0.4 cm and ≤ 7.1 cm)

8. Karnofsky Performance Status ≥ 70 %.

9. Accepting to abstain from sexual intercourse when study drug is on the skin.

10. In case of a coexisting AIDS-defining illness, both this illness and any treatment
being received for it must have been stable for the four weeks preceding enrolment in
the trial.

of the subject's partner if that subject is in a monogamous heterosexual
relationship (at the Investigator's discretion)

- Oral, injectable, or implantable contraceptives

- Condoms (with spermicide)

- Diaphragm/cervical cap (with spermicide)

- Intrauterine devices (IUDs)

- Complete abstinence (at the Investigator's discretion)

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Women pregnant or lactating;

2. Treatment within four weeks prior to the Treatment Initiation Visit and throughout
the entire study with:

- Any genital wart therapy, or Immunomodulators

- Systemic antiviral drugs other than acyclovir, valacyclovir, or famcyclovir and
other than HAART
