CONDYLOX SUMMARY
Podofilox is an antimitotic drug which can be chemically synthesized or purified from the plant families Coniferae and Berberidaceae (e. g. species of Juniperus and Podophyllum). Condylox® Gel 0.5% is formulated for topical administration. Each gram of gel contains 5 mg of podofilox in a buffered alcoholic gel containing alcohol, glycerin, lactic acid, hydroxypropyl cellulose, sodium lactate, and butylated hydroxytoluene.
Condylox® Gel 0.5% is indicated for the topical treatment of anogenital warts (external genital warts and perianal warts). This product is not indicated in the treatment of mucous membrane warts (see PRECAUTIONS).
Diagnosis
Although anogenital warts have a characteristic appearance, histopathologic confirmation should be obtained if there is any doubt of the diagnosis. Differentiating warts from squamous cell carcinoma and "Bowenoid papulosis" is of particular concern. Squamous cell carcinoma may also be associated with human papillomavirus which should not be treated with Condylox® Gel 0.5%.

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
Clinical Trials Related to Condylox (Podofilox Topical)
Phase I Combination of Midostaurin, Bortezomib, and Chemo in Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia [Active, not recruiting]
RATIONALE: Bortezomib and midostaurin may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some
of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitoxantrone
hydrochloride, etoposide, and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of
cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving
bortezomib and midostaurin together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer
cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when
given together with midostaurin with or without combination chemotherapy in treating
patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
Bortezomib, Mitoxantrone, Etoposide, and Cytarabine in Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia [Completed]
RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes
needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitoxantrone, etoposide, and
cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the
cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bortezomib together with combination
chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when
given together with mitoxantrone, etoposide, and cytarabine in treating patients with
relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
Proton Beam Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer That Can Be Removed By Surgery [Recruiting]
RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy, such as proton beam radiation therapy, that
delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause
less damage to normal tissue in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in
chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of
tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving proton
beam radiation therapy together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of proton beam
radiation therapy when given together with cisplatin and etoposide and to see how well it
works in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed by
surgery.
Busulfan, Etoposide, and Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Followed By Donor Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Advanced Myeloid Cancer [Active, not recruiting]
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy drugs, such as busulfan and etoposide, and
intensity-modulated radiation therapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the
growth of cancer cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the
donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient
they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells,
and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response
against the body's normal cells. Giving intensity-modulated radiation therapy together with
busulfan and etoposide before a transplant may stop this from happening.
PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of
intensity-modulated radiation therapy when given together with busulfan and etoposide
followed by a donor stem cell transplant and to see how well it works in treating patients
with advanced myeloid cancer.
Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Liposome and Rituximab With Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Burkitt's Lymphoma or Burkitt-Like Lymphoma [Active, not recruiting]
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome, work in
different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by
stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer
growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others
find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving
rituximab together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome
and rituximab together with combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with newly
diagnosed Burkitt's lymphoma or Burkitt-like lymphoma.
