Trial Summary

This trial is looking at Veregen cream to treat Vulval intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN). VIN means there are pre-cancerous changes to cells in the skin of the vulva. It is not cancer, but if it isn’t treated it can develop into vulval cancer. This trial is for women with VIN3, which means the cells are very abnormal.

Veregen cream contains a substance that comes from green tea. To find out if it can help women with VIN3, researchers want to compare Veregen cream with a dummy cream.

The main aim of this trial is to find out if Veregen cream is a safe and effective treatment for VIN3 patients.

 Please note that the trials team cannot give individual’s clinical advice. Patients and their families should contact their treating physician to discuss trials for which they may be eligible.
