摘要
One hundred fifty-two patients were enrolled in a study to evaluate 3 interferon (IFN) preparations used in combination with cryotherapy for treatment of anogenital warts. Subjects received subcutaneous injections (2 X 10(6) units/m(2)) of IFN-alpha n1, -beta, -gamma or placebo 3 times a week for 6 weeks and cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen. Subjects were followed less than or equal to 1 year, Among patients followed greater than or equal to 12 weeks, two-thirds had a complete response. No significant differences in rates of complete response (P = .37) or reappearance of a wart at the initial site (P = .20) were noted among the treatment groups, However, patients who received IFN-beta or -gamma developed new warts at a significantly lower frequency (P = .02), IFN administration was associated with side effects but was well tolerated. IFN-beta was the least toxic of the 3 preparations and had the best therapeutic ratio.
