Filter by:This trial will compare two ways to improve communication about HPV vaccination in primary care. The research team will work with primary care clinics. Some clinics will receive communication training from an outside expert. Other clinics will receive the same training from a vaccine champion from their healthcare system.
Evaluation of a novel self-collection device for cervical cancer screening.
In this study, the investigators will prospectively collect, analyze and integrate information regarding vaginal microbiome composition and HPV presence in women with cervical pathologies (high-grade CIN and CC) and controls, to construct a large dataset from patients with pre-cancerous cervical lesions and healthy women, to evaluate the personalized contribution of the vaginal microbiome to the CIN-CC sequence.
The purpose of this study is to validate a patient self-sampling vaginal collection kit and laboratory testing for the detection of HPV (human papillomavirus) infection. Researchers will compare the laboratory results of self-collected vaginal swab samples to usual healthcare provider-collected cervical swab samples to determine the laboratory HPV testing accuracy of the self-collection swab.
This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase I, first-in-human trial to characterize the safety and clinical activity of an antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell product in patients with relapsed or refractory locally advanced or metastatic HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers. Patients must have received at least one prior standard treatment regimen consisting of systemic immunotherapy and/or chemotherapy. The investigative agent is an autologous adoptive T-cell product derived from the patient's endogenous cytolytic T cells that are directed toward HPV-16 E6/E7, HPV-18 E6/E7 antigens, and a tumor-associated antigen (Survivin) by ex vivo exposure to an artificial antigen presenting cell to which HLA-A2 antigen-peptides have been fit within the pocket of an MHC class 1 molecule. Patients must express HLA-A*0201.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the world. It is currently estimated that 4.5% of all cancers worldwide are attributable to HPV, representing 630,000 new cases per year. HPV is responsible for more than 98% of pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions of the cervix and vagina and 88% of anal cancers. Although prevention of HPV infection has been available since 2007, there are approximately 3000 new cases of cervical cancer in France each year. Women benefit from organized screening for cervical cancer. HPV is also responsible for anal cancer in more than 90% of cases, mostly caused by HPV 16/18. Its incidence is lower with 1162 cases in women in 2018 but is increasing strongly (+88% in women since 1990). As with cervical cancer, there are precursors to anal cancer: high-grade intraepithelial lesions. Early diagnosis of these lesions could potentially reduce the incidence of anal cancer, but there are still few data in the literature. The prevalence of anal carriage in patients with a history of cervical dysplasia or cervical cancer is estimated in studies to be 20% with a risk of high grade anal lesions of 8%. The relative risk of developing anal cancer in women with a history of high-grade cervical lesions is about 5 per 100,000, 15 per 100,000 for those with a history of cervical cancer, and 42 and 48 per 100,000 respectively for women with HPV-induced pre-cancer and cancerous lesions of the vulva. The different means of cervico-vaginal screening: screening samples: HPV test, cytology, some biomarkers: double labelling p16/ki67, E6-E7 mRNA and clinical examination with or without colposcopy (examination of the cervix with a magnifying glass) are used at the gynecological level but also at the anal level with as examination: simple anuscopy and high resolution anuscopy. Some scientific societies have established surveillance algorithms for certain risk groups, but there are no clinical practice recommendations yet for women with a history of gynecological HPV-induced lesions. A proctology follow-up protocol for at-risk patients is proposed to patients based on cervico-vaginal surveillance recommendations and data in the literature, pending clinical practice guidelines. The frequency of these examinations depends on the patient's age and the existence of other risk factors for the development of anal HPV lesions. Depending on these elements, follow-up is proposed every 3 years, 5 years, or annually. The objective of this work is therefore to propose proctological surveillance to this population considered at risk, according to age, smear results and HPV test.
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).
The purpose of this study is to validate a new low-cost, self-collected HPV screening test (ScreenFire) and compare it to the standard provider collected careHPV, for the detection of high grade cervical cancer.
A study on two different methods of invitation to participate to the cervical cancer screening programme will be conducted within a demonstration project to switch from cytology-based screening to HPV-based screening using self-sampling delivered through the network of pharmacy offices among regular screening attendants in the Barcelona Metropolitana Sud Area, in Catalonia. At the moment, eligible women are invited to participate to cervical cancer screening via a telephone call invitation explaining the new self-sampling method. Invitation via SMS containing a link to a webpage with information on most frequent questions might be an adequate alternative method that would save costs and workload on human resources. The aim of this study is to assess the impact on cervical cancer screening participation of an invitation method based on text messaging (SMS). The invitation method will be evaluated through an interventional trial, in which we will compare the invitation to cervical cancer screening using SMS versus a telephone call invitation explaining the new self-sampling method.
