Filter by:There are very little data on human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among the 18 million women living with HIV (WLWH) globally, who constitute a population most vulnerable to HPV and the resultant cervical cancer. Particularly, there are no data to date on reduced-dose schedules of nonavalent HPV (9vHPV) vaccination in WLWH and there are very little data on the 9vHPV vaccine in this population overall. It is critical to examine the 9vHPV vaccine in WLWH now because the quadrivalent HPV (4vHPV) vaccine has been discontinued. Additionally, in order to reach the World Health Organization's global goal of cervical cancer elimination, we must determine the role of various HPV prevention strategies in this important population including reduced vaccine dosing which can drastically increase the feasibility of HPV vaccination programs globally. This randomized clinical trial will enrol WLWH aged 18-45 from across Canada who have not previously received an HPV vaccine. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive 3 doses of 9vHPV vaccine at the routine vaccine schedule of 0/2/6 months or 2 doses at an expanded schedule of 0/6 months with a third dose at month 12 to adhere to current recommendations for WLWH. We will compare the immune response generated to two versus three doses of 9vHPV vaccine and will follow participants for 2 years to examine the immune response over time. This study, which builds upon our team's prior work on HPV vaccination in WLWH, will determine whether two doses of 9vHPV vaccine can be used in WLWH instead of three, and will examine additional aspects of HPV vaccination in WLWH including the immune response to three doses, vaccine safety and efficacy, and attitudes towards self-collected HPV samples in this population. These data will inform global public health policy and programming and will inform the global strategy for cervical cancer elimination.
The purpose of this study is to find out if lower doses of radiation may help reduce the side effects of radiation therapy in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy in people with HPV-positive throat cancer. The chemotherapy drugs used in this study include cisplatin, carboplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (5- FU), paclitaxel and abraxane- (Albumin-bound Paclitaxel).
To date, there have been no interventional studies aimed at increasing HPV vaccination rates by making use of digital and involving all stakeholders within this process: nurses, physicians, caregivers, parents, and children/adolescents according to the PPI principle. The primary objective of the project is to identify the effectiveness of a digital educational intervention, conducted by a multidisciplinary healthcare team and targeting adolescents of both sexes in secondary schools. The outcome measures will be: engagement, increased knowledge and self-efficacy, and vaccination uptake. This project will identify new models for addressing public health needs. The secondary aim is to evaluate parents' attitudes toward vaccination pre- and post-intervention education. A quasi-experimental, pre-post educational intervention study will be conducted by adopting a convenience sampling will be adopted at secondary schools in Bari (Puglia, Italy).
This study aims to leverage this unique property of HPV+ OPC to detect possible minimal residual disease represented by persistent viral detection after the completion of definitive treatment. The study will offer adjuvant immune therapy to patients with persistent viral detection and evaluate the clearance of viral load. It will evaluate the rate of viral clearance with immune therapy and establish the link between viral clearance and long-term disease control.
This study will look at whether monitoring HPV ctDNA levels is an effective way to detect cancer relapse risk in people with HPV-OPC. All participants will have recently had surgery to treat their disease, or they will be scheduled to have this surgery. In Arm A the researchers will see whether monitoring participants' HPV ctDNA levels can safely identify patients who do not need radiation therapy (RT) after surgery and whose RT can be delayed until their HPV ctDNA levels become detectable. In Arm B, the researchers will see whether patients who usually need 6-6.5 weeks of CRT can be selected by HPV ctDNA to receive 3 weeks of CRT.
First-in-human, phase I, single-center, open-label, dose-escalation trial in healthy volunteers. Investigation of safety and tolerability of ascending doses of PANHPVAX, a vaccine against human papilloma L2 antigens formulated with cdA (adjuvant) as compared to the formulation without cdA.
The purpose of this this study, to evaluate the quality of sexual life of patients treated for anal cancer treated by radiotherapy, during their treatment, then 3 months after treatment and, finally, 2 years after treatment. cancer diagnosis.
Doctors leading this study hope to learn about the safety and effectiveness of combining medications HB-201 and HB-202 (also known as TheraT® vectors) with chemotherapy using carboplatin and paclitaxel in the beginning of the study (induction) and if combining these medications can increase tumor shrinkage after therapy and reduce the amount of radiotherapy and chemotherapy that will later be needed. In addition, the study is looking at ways to reduce side effects overall using robotic surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, or radiotherapy alone. Your participation in this research will last about 2 years. HB-201 and HB-202 are experimental (meaning the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved these drugs), and therefore they can only be given in a research study.
The study uses a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test an innovative multilevel intervention to increase HPV vaccination rates among young adults. The two primary outcomes will be the rate of HPV vaccination initiation by 3-month follow-up and rate of HPV vaccination completion by 9-month follow-up.
This is a single center, longitudinal cohort study in which subjects will receive 9-valent HPV vaccine according to package insert (i.e., one dose of 9-valent HPV vaccine on day (D) 0 followed by a second dose 2 months later and a third dose 6 months later). Immune responses in the blood, saliva, bone marrow, and lymph nodes will be assessed in subjects receiving the HPV vaccine. Blood samples for immunologic testing will be collected at screening (from D-60 to D-45), on D0 (before vaccination), D1 (optional visit), D7, D14, D30, D60 (before vaccination), D61 (optional visit), D67, D74, D90, D180 (before vaccination), D187, D194, D210, D365, and D730. Saliva samples for antibody testing will be collected on D0 (before vaccination), D30, D60 (before vaccination), D90, D180 (before vaccination), D210, D365, and D730. Axillary lymph node sampling by fine needle aspiration will be done 3 times in per group. Group 1 will have lymph node sampling done D-30 to D0 (before vaccination),D14 and D30. Group 2 will have lymph node sampling done D60 (before vaccination), D74 and D90. Group 3 will have lymph node sampling D180 (before vaccination),D194 and D210. Bone marrow sampling will be done for all groups at D730.
