Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is the most common benign neoplasm of the larynx in the pediatric population. The impact of the disease on patients and families can be tremendous due to the need for frequent treatment. It would be highly beneficial to develop effective medical therapies as adjunctive measures to surgical ablation with the goal of reducing the frequency of reoccurrence.
The focus of the present study is to evaluate the usefulness of cidofovir injection in diminishing the frequency and magnitude of papilloma recurrences in adult and pediatric RRP patients. Briefly, patients will be randomized into either a treatment (cidofovir injection) or a placebo group. The following measures will be made at each of 6 data collection time points, over the course of one year: (1) tumor load, based upon a published staging system for papilloma, (2) degree of respiratory obstruction for phonation, as assessed by phonation threshold pressures, and (3) general health, on validated health inventories (SF12 and Voice Handicap Index for adults; PedsQL (Trademarked) for children) and via measures of height weight and days absent from school or daycare, where applicable, for children. A repeated measures analysis will allow examination of time by treatment interactions to determine if the cidofovir injection group has fewer, or less severe, recurrences than the placebo group.
Specifically, we will answer the following questions in this investigation:

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cidofovir | Active Comparator | Cidofovir (Vistide) is a commercially available agent approved by the FDA for the treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The drug is not FDA approved for the treatment of RRP at this time. However, recent case reports have been encouraging with regard to the effectiveness of the agent in the treatment of RRP. The FDA has granted this study a "safe to proceed" designation with IND 58,481. |
|
| Placebo | Placebo Comparator | On the baseline study day, patients will be randomized into either a treatment group (cidofovir injection) or a placebo group. A restricted randomization procedure, in groups of 4, will be used to encourage uniformity in sample sizes between groups. |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cidofovir | Drug | With regard to cidofovir concentration, the FDA has allowed us to inject a concentration of 5 mg/ml into both children and adults. The injection will add less than 2 additional minutes to the surgery time and discharge time will not be affected. Because the volumes of cidofovir injected into the airway will be reasonably small (typically less than 2 mL), the total systemic dose of cidofovir administered per visit will be far below the FDA-approved systemic limit of 5 mg/kg for HIV-related CMV retinitis. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Papilloma Severity | Derkay Severity Score. Minimum Score is Zero. Maximum score is 86. Treatment of RRP with cidofovir injection will be considered efficacious if drug group patients experience clinically or statistically significant changes in papilloma severity and inter-surgery time intervals (relative to pre-treatment assessments), when compared with placebo group patients. The scale rates - Voice (normal 0, abnormal 1, aphonic 2) Stridor (absent 0, present with activity 1, present at rest 2) Urgency of the intervention (scheduled 0, elective 1, urgent 2, emergent 3) Respiratory distress (none 0, mild 1, mod 2, severe 3, extreme 4). For multiple anatomical sites (18 or more) in the upper airway, left and right sides, lesions are rated as 0=none, 1=surface lesion, 2=raised lesion, and 3=bulky lesion). A higher rating value indicates more advanced disease and a worse outcome. | Baseline, 2 months, and 12 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 12-month Change in Voice Handicap Index (VHI) Score | Voice Handicap Index. This scale rates a patient's perception of voice related handicap in the domains of functional, physical, and emotional. There are 10 questions for each domain. Each question is rated by the subject on a 5-point scale, never =0, almost never =1, sometimes =2, almost always =3, always =4). A lower total score or domain score indicates improved, or less, voice handicap. Thus, the maximum total score is 4 X 30 = 120. For each domain, the maximum score is 4 X 10 = 40. Scores of 0 are the lowest possible score. In the paper we say that the Maximum score is 100, but obviously is it actually 120. Complete scale = 0-120. Lower score indicates improved perceived voice-realted quality of life. |

Before inclusion in this study, and 48 hours before each cidofovir injection, laboratory tests confirmed that the (female) participants were not pregnant and that laboratory findings were not exclusionary for study participation.
The participants in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial were 19 consecutive adult or pediatric patients who presented to the University of Wisconsin Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Clinic with a diagnosis of RRP who met inclusio/exclusion criteria and gave informed consent to participate.

Because the volumes of cidofovir injected into the airway will be reasonably small (typically less than 2 mL), the total systemic dose of cidofovir administered per visit will be far below the FDA-approved systemic limit of 5 mg/kg for HIV-related CMV retinitis. No more than 6 treatments were performed per patient within the 12-month time interval of the study. |
| FG001 | Placebo | The placebo treatment was injection of saline solution that had a color and viscosity identical to those of the active drug. Up to 6 injections per participant were given during the study. |
