Filter by:HPV infections are prominent among college-aged women. Although HPV vaccines decrease women's risk for cervical cancer, vaccination rates remain inadequate. This study explored the utility of an Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills intervention in promoting HPV vaccination knowledge, motivation, and behavioral skills among college aged women.
This study will pilot test a culturally appropriate human papillomavirus (HPV) self-test intervention among women from Ohio Appalachia in order to determine the feasibility of HPV self-testing as a potential cervical cancer screening strategy. The intervention group will receive culturally appropriate materials and the control group will receive standard materials with their HPV self-test device.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well carrageenan-containing gel (vaginal gel) works in reducing the rate of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection in healthy participants. Carrageenans, which are naturally derived from seaweed, are enhancements to natural lubrication and may be effective in blocking HPV infection.
This randomized research trial studies the Community-based Health Information Technology (HIT) Tools for Cancer Screening and Health Insurance Promotion (CATCH-UP) intervention in increasing cancer screening and prevention care in uninsured patients at community health centers. The CATCH-UP intervention may contribute to increased rates of insurance coverage, leading to improved cancer screening and prevention rates in community health care settings, and general recommended preventive care.
The LIMIT-Study is a placebo-controlled, double-blinded randomized controlled trial designed to explore the efficacy of a carrageenan-based lubricant as a topical microbicide for preventing HPV acquisition. Individuals at high risk for infection (men who have sex with men, or MSM, and especially those with HIV) will be included in the trial. Participants will complete a self-administered baseline questionnaire during the enrollment visit, and follow-up questionnaires during all other six visits. The shorter follow-up questionnaires are intended to evaluate recent sexual behaviours and to corroborate the responses given during the baseline visit. These questionnaires will measure HPV risk factors, compliance, and monitor safety and tolerability of the gels. Between follow-up visits, participants will be asked to log into a secure web module at least once a week to answer questions on daily sexual activities, condom and study gel use, and adverse events. Individuals will be screened for eligibility over the telephone or in person and eligible men will attend an enrollment visit, where the nurse will obtain informed consent and instruct the participant on gel use. They will receive a one month's supply of gel and provide the first specimen. Random number sets will be assigned to the treatment and control gel. Each participant will be assigned an individual code, which will be used to match him to the study arm. Lastly, the nurse will provide details about HPV infection and advice about condom use and sexual health. HPV infection status will be measured using anal specimens at baseline (enrollment/time 0), and at all follow-up clinic visits (1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months).
primary purpose:Evaluate the prevalence and incidence of HPV infection and related diseases in subjects. Secondary purpose:Analyze risk factors of HPV infection and related diseases.
This was a 37-month safety and immunogenicity study conducted in boys and girls 9 to 14 years of age and in young women 16 to 26 years of age. From this study, the goal was to establish that the investigational 2-dose regimens (0, 6 months and 0, 12 months) studied in boys and girls 9 to 14 years of age are generally safe and immunogenic, with an antibody response that is not inferior to that observed in young women 16 to 26 years of age who received the standard 3-dose regimen of V503 (i.e., the population and dose regimen used to establish V503 efficacy).
This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy and docetaxel work in treating patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving radiation therapy with docetaxel my kill more tumor cells.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a member of the Papillomaviridae family of DNA viruses that is capable of infecting humans. HPV infection can cause cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, and anus in women or cancers of the anus and penis in men. Two prophylactic vaccines have been proven to be highly effective in preventing the acquisition of HPV infection and the genital precancerous lesions caused by it. However, we do not know yet if a previously infected individual, once vaccinated, would be less infective to her or his sexual partner. We plan to conduct a study, called Transmission Reduction And Prevention with HPV vaccination (TRAP-HPV) study to answer this question. It will include 500 sexually active couples* (total of 1000 individuals) in university student health clinics in Montreal (age 18-45 years). It will be a randomized placebo-controlled, double-blinded intervention trial. Study participants will be followed up to 12 months. Behavioural and biological data will be collected at the time of study enrolment, then at months 2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 post-enrolment. The results of this trial will be invaluable in informing policies regarding vaccination of women and men.
This study compares the health and economic impact of the bivalent HPV vaccine (HPV-1) and the quadrivalent HPV vaccine (HPV-2).
