Filter by:Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a significant public health issue affecting nearly 14 million people in the United States. HPV can lead to cervical, oropharyngeal, anal, and penile cancers as well as genital warts.The purpose of this study is to test the comparative effectiveness of two interventions, AFIX only vs. AFIX + communication training, to increase Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates among adolescent patients in outpatient clinic settings. Providers and staff at four pediatric practices will be randomized to receive an in-person AFIX consultation or an AFIX consultation combined with communication training and commitment poster displays. Provider and parent data will be collected via a tablet computer RedCap survey. Additional practice and provider level HPV vaccination rates will be collected via patient de-identified claims data. The results of this study could contribute to the existing body of literature that suggests provider recommendations and routine vaccination assessments are key to increasing HPV vaccination uptake. This project has the potential to lead to the implementation and dissemination of low resource interventions to increase HPV vaccination rates among children and adolescents.
Background: Prevention of cervical cancer and genital warts could be achieved by immunization with the prophylactic human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines commercially available. However, in the U.S. only 38% of females and 14% of males in the recommended age group (9-26 years) receive the complete, three-dose HPV vaccine. Because the HPV vaccine is covered under the Vaccine for Children Program, the underinsured and uninsured have no-cost access. Nonetheless, data from Los Angeles county suggest that HPV vaccination rates among the uninsured and underinsured groups are significantly lower than the national average, likely related to knowledge of the vaccine, transportation, number of doses and concern of side effects. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of health oriented text messaging to increase HPV vaccine uptake versus standard health messaging (Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) HPV vaccine information flyers). Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that receiving general health messaging, including messages regarding the benefits of the HPV vaccine, will increase HPV vaccine uptake. Text messaging will also be more successful in reaching the uninsured and underinsured populations than will traditional flyers/information pamphlets used in clinics. Methods: A cluster randomized trial design will be used to recruit participants from four clinics in Los Angeles County which offer pediatric vaccination to uninsured and underinsured children. The sample will include women aged 18-45 years of age. Two of the sites will be randomized to the text messaging arm and the other clinic will be randomized to the control arm (standard messaging: CDC flyers and pamphlets available for patients at the clinic). Outcome measures will be HPV vaccinations rates at those clinics. Rates will be defined into groups who received 1 dose, 2 doses and 3 doses. Anticipated Results: The investigators expect to find statistically significant higher HPV vaccination rates among children and women in the text messaging study arm compared to the control arm. Implications and Future Studies: This pilot study will give us preliminary data to submit a larger randomized controlled trial to examine the efficacy of text messaging.
This project involves a social media campaign to increase parent's knowledge and acceptance of the HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine. The current vaccine protects against nine types of HPV, including seven that are known to cause cancer. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that the current HPV vaccine could prevent 90% of cancer cases caused by HPV, including cases of cervical cancer, oropharyngeal (mouth and throat) cancer, anal cancer, and others. About 150 and 104 cases of HPV-associated cancers are diagnosed each year in New Hampshire and Vermont, respectively-many of which could be prevented through vaccination. Currently, only 49.8% of New Hampshire adolescents and 44.3% of Vermont adolescents were not up-to-date for HPV vaccination as of 2016. This social media campaign is testing a set of campaign messages with parents locally and nationally to see which messages are most effective in improving their knowledge and acceptance of the vaccine. A study survey link will monitor the number of people reached and will measure parental intention to get their children vaccinated against HPV.
Local hyperthermia at 44℃ can promote some alterations of immulogical indicators. The procedure is convenient in clinic, has high tolerance with less trauma and less pain. Based on domestic and abroad clinical practice, the investigators observed initially that local hyperthermia brought great benefits to cutaneous warts. In comparison with liquid nitrogen, the safety and efficacy of controllable infrared bioeffect system to treat skin disease has been evaluated. This proved it could be used in treatment of skin warts, and clinical trial met the requirements of Standards for quality control of clinical trials on medical devices, and can be used in product registration and declaration.
The purpose of this research study is to find out which factors influence parents' ability to complete the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine series for their child. The information learned from this study may help the investigators develop programs to improve HPV vaccine completion rates among adolescents and reduce barriers to receiving the second shot of the vaccine series.
Background: Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-L1) is a protein on the surface of cells. It regulates if a cell can be killed by immune system cells. It is thought to be able to affect the immune system response to diseased cells like those infected with a virus. The molecule M7824 interferes with the activity of PD-L1. It could help the immune system kill cells infected with a virus . Since recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is caused by a virus infection, this molecule could help. Objective: To see if M7824 works in treating recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 years or older with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and pregnancy tests Endoscopy procedure in clinic. A small tube with a camera will look at the inside of the nose, throat, larynx, and upper windpipe. Some participants will also be screened with a chest scan. At the start of the study, participants will: Have a sedated endoscopy procedure where biopsies will be taken. Have blood tests. Have apheresis. Blood will be collected by a tube in an arm vein. A machine will remove white blood cells. The rest of the blood will be returned into an arm vein. Fill out a voice questionnaire. Participants will get the study molecule into a vein over about 1 hour. They will get it every other week for up to 12 weeks. Participants will repeat screening and starting procedures throughout the study. They will also review side effects and any medicine they are taking. When they are done with the study treatment, participants will be evaluated by repeating the study procedures. They may be evaluated periodically until their disease progresses.
This study evaluates the use of ABI-1968, a topical cream, in the treatment of cervical precancerous lesions in females without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
Patients with immunodeficiencies are at increased risk of developing persistent HPV infection and as such HPV-related disease (genital warts and cancer). In this study HIV-patients and SOT-patients will receive 3 doses of Gardasil®9. Safety, tolerability and immunogenicity will be evaluated up to one month following the 3rd and last dose of Gardasil®9.
The overall goal of this SBIR Phase II project is to reduce cancer rates by marketing a brief, easily implemented technology-based intervention that increases human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among Planned Parenthood and other clients. The intervention's innovative technology allows for the investigators' narrative videos to be presented along will reminder texts. It will be evaluated for use in waiting rooms and promises to overcome vaccination barriers among high risk but underserved low SES and minority populations.
Human papillomavirus(HPV) infect epithelial cells and have the capacity to stimulate cell abnormal hyperplasia, especially by those high-risk HPV types. HPV vaccine primarily targeting HPV6/11/16/18 has been available and makes it possible to prevent cervical cancer. However, a large population was left unvaccinated, specifically for those aged ones. In clinic, patients harboring high-risk HPV is quite prevalent in China or other developing nations. Removing the virus and prevention of malignant transformation is required. Mild local Hyperthermia with a certain temperature range has been successfully used in the treatment of some diseases. It has been utilised in the treatment of some neoplasm, fungal and HPV infections. Investigators' study found that local hyperthermia at 44°C could cleared HPV in more than half of the patients with plantar warts. Investigators also note the fact that in patients with multiple lesions, the clearance of the target lesion is commonly followed by clearance of other distant lesions, a phenomenon suggesting that local hyperthermia could aid in establishing a specific immune response to eliminate HPV.So the purpose of the study is to evaluation local hyperthermia in the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasias grade I and II after 3 months, with positive high-risk type HPVs, and patients with positive testing for high risk HPVs. Appropriate control arms were designed for different conditions.
