Brief summary
Cutaneous viral warts are very common and are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). Most people experience warts in one form or another at some point in their lives. Cutaneous warts are related to different types of HPV. For the palms and soles, HPV 2 has been the most frequently found but HPV 1, 4, 27, and 57 have also been described. Our hypothesis is that vaccination by nonavalent vaccine against HPV could lead to a complete resolution of difficult-to-treat palmo-plantar warts patients of more than 15 years and 3 months of age.
Detailed description
The qHPV and nHPV has been used as a therapeutic approached for the treatment of cutaneous warts in case reports and some case series. Very recently, the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD)-the journal with the highest impact factor in the dermatological field- has published a review of all the cases reported in the scientific literature. The authors were strongly in favor of the use of the vaccine in case of difficult-to-treat warts and have highlighted the need for clinical trials. In the literature, 80 patients have been described with cutaneous warts treated by qHPV or nHPV with more than 50% of efficacy.Our hypothesis is that vaccination by nonavalent vaccine against HPV could lead to a complete resolution of difficult-to-treat palmo-plantar warts patients of more than 15 years and 3 months of age.

DOUBLE (Subject, Investigator)
Masking description
Double blind clinical trial.The identity of Gardasil 9® vaccine and placebo cannot be concealed as presentation. They will be packed in boxes of identical appearance to achieve double blindness. During the study designated unblinded trained and qualified site staff will be responsible for preparing the Gardasil 9® vaccine or placebo out of view of patients and an unblinded nurse(s) or physician(s) will be responsible for administering the study products to the patients.
