Objective. To optimize approaches to preventing recurrent pointed condylomas (PC) of the external female genitalia after destructive therapy.
Subjects and methods. A bicenter randomized open-label controlled comparative study was conducted. It included 93 patients with PC of the external genitalia, who were divided into 3 groups after CO2 laser destruction of PC. Group 1 (n = 31) received combined therapy with interferon-α (IFN-α) as rectal suppositories for 10 days in combination with oral indole-3-carbinol (I3C) tablets for 6 months. For the prevention of recurrent PC, Group 2 (n = 31) had only standard immunomodulatory therapy with IFN-α as rectal suppositories. A control group (n = 31) did not use pharmacotherapy. The investigators carried out photo fixation of PC and qualitative tests for human papillomavirus (HPV) by a PCR assay.
Results. Six months after destruction, the PC recurrence rates were 6.5% in Group 1, 25.8% in Group 2, and 32.3% in the control group (p = 0.010). None of the groups were found to have recurrent PC at 12 months following treatment initiation. According to the data of HPV diagnosis (a common qualitative test), after the therapy within a 12-month follow-up, the viral elimination rates were 85.7% in Group 1, 66.66% in Group 2, and 54.54% in the control group. After 12 months of treatment initiation, the HPV types 6 and 11 elimination rates were 87.5% in Group 1, 85.7% in Group 2, and 75.0% in the control group. In these groups, HPV types 31 and 33 were eliminated in 83.3, 80, and 100% of cases, respectively. The high-risk HPV types 16 and 18 elimination rates were 100, 83.3, and 0%, respectively.
Conclusion. There was a statistically significant reduction in the rate of recurrent PC of the external female genitalia, as well as HPV elimination and reduced reinfection especially with high-risk HPV types 16 and 18 during combined therapy with I3C and IFN-α. A combination of I3C and IFN-α showed a higher efficacy than the conventional use of IFN-α only.
