This trial was looking at Veregen cream to treat pre cancerous changes to the skin of the vulva.

There are 3 categories of VIN. This trial was for women with VIN 3, which means the cells are very abnormal. Your doctor may also call this severe dysplasia.

This trial was open for people to join between 2014 and 2017. The team published the results in 2020.
