Filter by:This study will construct a longitudinal risk model of VaIN according to the HPVs distribution of cervix and vaginal for those had CIN2+. The study will include three arms to complete the follow-up data for the previous cohort constructed, and prospectively recruit new subjects with the appropriate inclusion/excluding criteria in order to increase sample size of this study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a 2-dose and 3-dose series of 9vHPV vaccine among 27-45-year-old females to assess if 2 doses elicit a noninferior immune response. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to either the 2-dose group or the 3-dose group and asked to provide 4 blood samples over a period of 12 months. All 2-dose participants will be offered a 3rd dose after the final blood draw,12 months after their initial vaccination.
The purpose of this study is to explore whether an anti-cancer medication (5-fluorouracil cream) placed in the vagina after a surgical excision procedure is an acceptable and useful form of treatment for cervical precancer among the woman with HIV infection.
In the United State, there are millions of US teens who are not vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV) putting them at risk of getting HPV-related cancers. Although there are clinical guidelines recommending the HPV vaccine and interventions encouraging parents to vaccinate their children to prevent HPV-related cancers, the vaccination rate for teens remains low according to a 2018 national survey. Survey data shows that HPV vaccine complete series coverage for teens aged 13-15 years was 50%, far below the 80% target of Healthy People 2020. Receiving a strong provider recommendation is the most powerful strategy for improving HPV vaccine rates. Yet, little is known about how to include provider recommendations and other important factors into an intervention to improve the HPV vaccination rates. Studies show there are provider, patient and system-level barriers in the initiation and completion of HPV vaccine series among 9-12 years old children. Barriers to the HPV vaccine also differ across demographic subgroups, communities, and clinics. Interventions that address only one component are not responsive to site barriers and as effective as one that addresses multiple components and site-specific barriers. This study uses a 3-arm cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare three implementation strategies to improve provider recommendations on the HPV vaccine. Two of the implementation strategies (local-tailored and prescribed strategy) utilize a multilevel approach. The three implementation strategies of interest are (1) a "local-tailored" implementation strategy, co-designed with local care teams to address local barriers and contexts (2) A "prescribed" strategy, most commonly used by health systems, that involves pre-specified interventions addressing pre-selected vaccination barriers and (3) usual standard of care where there are no research-led activities. We will use surveys, interviews, and electronic health records to evaluate the three implementation strategies and their impact on improving HPV vaccination rates. The study surveys and interviews will include pediatric providers, nurses, administrators, staff members, and parents of HPV vaccine-eligible children (9-12 years old). Successful implementation will be defined as improvement in HPV vaccination rates (primary outcome), strengthening provider recommendation (secondary outcome), and the cost-effectiveness of the implementation strategy.
Background: Most symptoms of human papillomaviruses (HPV) infection, do not cause serious health problems, but some do. As HPV can cause uncontrolled growth of infected cells, some people can develop benign skin lesions, larger warts, genital lesions, tumors or cysts that do not respond to treatment. Researchers want to learn why. Objective: To better understand why some people are more likely than others to get sick from HPV infection, and why medicine or surgery is not always effective. Eligibility: People aged 3 years and older who have had multiple outbreaks of HPV-related warts and/or lesions that do not respond to treatment. Healthy relatives are also needed. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. Participants may have study visits as an outpatient or an inpatient (admitted overnight to the NIH hospital) and be followed over several years by our doctors and researchers at the NIH. Participants may have a cervical and/or anal Pap test. They may give samples of semen, cervicovaginal secretions, urine, saliva, or stool. Small pieces of skin, the inside of the cheek, and/or the gums may be collected with a punch or scrape biopsy to understand how HPV affect the growth of cells. Mucus and skin may be collected by rubbing the area with a cotton swab. Collection areas may include the inside the mouth, nostrils, skin, genitals, and/or in or around the anus. Biopsies may be collected. If participants need to have a biopsy as part of medical care, then we may ask if extra samples can be collected for research. Biopsies we may collect are bone marrow, lymph node, genitals, or in or around the anus. Participants may have leukapheresis. Blood is taken from a needle placed in one arm. A machine separates out the white blood cells. The rest of the blood is returned through a needle in their other arm. Samples may be used for genetic tests and/or to make special cells called induced pluripotent stem cells. Participants may have follow-up visits once a year for 10 years. Benefits: We are not testing new HPV treatments in this study and you might not benefit from participating. However, we may learn new information about your condition that we will share with you and your doctor. We may make recommendations for your medical care based on current accepted treatment. What we learn from you and other participants in this study might help other people. We hope we can use this information to develop new treatments and therapies in the future....
The main risk of developing cervical cancer is the persistence of an High risk human papillomavirus (HPV-HR) infection, the mechanisms of which are still not understood. These chronically infected patients could develop multi-site lesions. The main objective is to assess the feasibility of setting up a personalized screening in patients at high risk of cervical cancer (chronically infected with HPV), by evaluating documenting the acceptability of these patients to be sampled from the ENT sphere and anal spheres for HPV analysis with next-generation sequencing.
A prospective multicenter interventional study will be conducted to enroll women undergoing routine cervical cancer screening to collect cervical liquid-based cytology (LBC) specimen(s). For all subjects, two cervical specimens will be collected, and one placed into Hologic ThinPrep Pap Test collection kit with PreservCyt Solution (also referred to as ThinPrep specimen) and the other into BD SurePath liquid-based Pap test (also referred to as SurePath specimen). Cytology and HR HPV results will be generated and utilized to determine need for subject referral to colposcopy. Collection of an endocervical curettage (ECC) specimen, and biopsy(ies) if applicable, from women who are referred to colposcopy as a follow up will be conducted according to a standardized protocol. Disease status for each subject will be determined based on cytology, HPV test results, and/or consensus histology review of cervical biopsy specimens.
Background: Often, metastatic human papillomavirus (HPV) associated cancers cannot be cured. They also do not respond well to treatment. Some forms of colon cancer also have poor responses to treatment. Researchers want to see if a new drug treatment can help people with these types of cancers. Objective: To find a safe dose of entinostat in combination with NHS-IL12 and bintrafusp alfa and to see if this treatment will cause tumors to shrink. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have cervical, oropharyngeal, anal, vulvar, vaginal, penile, squamous cell rectal, or another cancer that may be associated with HPV infection or microsatellite stable small bowel or colorectal cancer. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. Their ability to do daily activities will be assessed. They may have imaging scans of the brain and/or chest, abdomen, and pelvis. They may have nuclear bone scans. They will have an electrocardiogram to test heart function. They will have blood and urine tests. They may have a tumor biopsy. Participants with skin lesions may have them photographed. Some screening tests will be repeated during the study. Treatment will be done in 28-day cycles. Participants will get bintrafusp alfa through an intravenous catheter every 2 weeks. They will get NHS-IL12 as an injection under the skin every 4 weeks. They will take entinostat by mouth once a week. They will complete a medicine diary. Participants will get treatment for 2 years. They will have 1-2 follow-up visits in the 30 days after treatment ends. Then they will be contacted every 6 months to check on their health....
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States and causes genital warts and cancers in both females and males. Vaccination against HPV is recommended for routine use in those aged 11-12 years old, yet is underutilized. The study's premise is that preteens are relevant decision makers who can be motivated to initiate and complete the HPV vaccine series (assuming parental consent and provider recommendation). This study evaluates a serious video game to engage preteens in the decision to pursue HPV vaccination. The hypothesis is that preteens who are assigned to the video game will be more likely to initiate and complete HPV vaccination than preteens who are not assigned to the video game.
Cervical cancer screening is an important component of women's health care. Most adult women are familiar with the conventional screening modality, Pap test, which has successfully reduced the burden of cervical cancer in industrialized countries. However, Pap test has limited accuracy and can miss a progressing disease. Advancement in knowledge and technology has led to changes in national recommendations to focus on the testing of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, the cause of cervical cancer. Screening with primary HPV testing detects more diseases compared with Pap test alone or co-testing, and requires less number of tests. However, despite the advantages of primary HPV screening over conventional approaches, the switch to primary HPV screening is limited in the United States. The scientific literature reports barriers at both the provider and women level, which include lack of knowledge, resistance, and attachment to Pap test. We currently have insufficient guidance on how to select and deploy implementation strategies most likely to facilitate use of newly recommended cancer screening modality. This project seeks to generate evidence regarding effective strategies to achieve successful implementation of the primary HPV testing for routine cervical cancer screening in a large community-based health care system. A successful implementation will be defined by uptake of the primary HPV screening, adequate knowledge of the HPV test for both patients and providers, and patient/provider satisfaction during the transition. This project is important to most adult women, as a timely adoption of the best evidence-based cancer screening approach means better patient outcomes. Further, the proposed project will not only inform about cervical cancer screening, but other clinical conditions when a physician practice change is recommended by professional societies and/or national guideline body. By engaging patients, providers and other professional stakeholders in this project, we ensure that successful project outcomes are those most important for women and their doctors. Further, the stakeholder partners will help ensure generalizability of our findings to other health care systems, design strategies that maximize completeness in data collection, and lead the dissemination effort for wide application of the knowledge to be gained in this project.
