Filter by:This study is designed as a non-randomized implementation study consisting of a user-centered school-based HPV-counselling and HPV-vaccination (HPVV) program. The aim is to improve HPVV coverage among children with ethnic minority background with minimum 10%-point in the intervention group.
The long-term objective of the parent study is "to reduce the effects of OPCa through secondary prevention (i.e., early detection, diagnosis and treatment referral)." Consistent with this, this supplement will test HPV-related interventions tailored for Sexual Minority Men (SMM). Acceptability, feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a smart-phone delivered Oropharyngeal Cancer (OPCA) self-assessment tool will be assessed. Given that homosexuality is stigmatized and criminalized in Tanzania, and that cell phone use is the key way SMM communicate in Tanzania, a self-assessment screening cell phone intervention holds particular promise for SMM in Tanzania but warrants separate evaluation.
Anal cancer is overrepresented among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM), particularly those living with HIV. Australia was the first country to introduce a publicly funded national HPV vaccination program in 2007. This program was expanded to include schoolboys aged 12-13 years in 2013; with a 2-year catch-up for boys aged up to 15 years. The goal of the HYPER4 study is to determine the prevalence of anal, genital and oral HPV among 500 young gay and bisexual men aged 21-25 years who were eligible for the school-based gender-neutral quadrivalent vaccination program. Participants will be required to complete a questionnaire and provide samples for HPV testing. No follow-up visits will be required.

This program was expanded to include schoolboys aged 12-13 years in 2013Íž with a 2-year catch-up for boys aged up to 15 years. In 2018, the 9-valent vaccine (covering genotypes 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58) replaced the 4-valent vaccine in the national program. The goal of the HYPER3 study is to determine the prevalence of anal, genital and oral HPV among 200 young gay and bisexual men aged 16-20 years who were eligible for the school-based 9-valent vaccination. Participants will be required to complete a questionnaire and provide samples for HPV testing. No follow-up visits will be required.
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).
Each year in France, more than 6000 new cases of HPV inducted cancers are recorded. The vaccinal cover stays insufficient since less than 30% of the french population is vaccinated. Therefore french studies about vaccine efficacy and especially about the catch-up vaccine (done after 15years old) are needed. HPVAC2 is a prospective, analytic and monocentric study designed to learn the impact of the catch-up HPV vaccination. Women from 25 years old and born after 1984 may be included if they come to the Brest CHU to do their regular cervical smear. At this time, a survey will be given to know their vaccinal status. The aim of the study is to prove the efficacy of the catch up vaccination by analyzing the cervical smears results and by comparing the vaccinated group with the not-vaccinated group.
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.
