Filter by:The primary aim of the project is to increase human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine receipt rates among low-income, ethnic minority adolescents (girls and boys 11-17 years of age) in Los Angeles County. We will accomplish this goal by implementing and rigorously evaluating interventions in multiple venues that serve our target population, including the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH) and two large Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). Our hypotheses are: Primary hypothesis: 1. The intervention group will have a higher rate of HPV vaccine initiation at follow-up compared to the control group. Secondary hypothesis: 2. The intervention group will have higher vaccine completion rates (3 doses) at follow-up compared to the control group.
This phase II trial studies how well paclitaxel and carboplatin before radiation therapy with paclitaxel works in treating human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive patients with stage III-IV oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving paclitaxel and carboplatin before radiation therapy with paclitaxel may kill more tumor cells.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection. The high risk oncogenic types, HPV-16 and -18 are responsible for 70% of cervical cancers. The introduction of vaccination against two major oncogenic genotypes of HPV raises questions about genotype replacement because of the existence of other oncogenic types not targeted by the vaccine. A better understanding of natural history of HPV infection and interaction (competition, synergy) between genotypes are required in order to anticipate this phenomenon. The aims of this study are to characterize HPV infection in young female students and to follow up HPV infection and co-infection dynamics with different genotypes, taking into account both vaccination status and immunity to HPV 16 and 18. The study also focuses on the determination of factors influencing the development of persistent cervical HPV infections. The DyPAVIR-ISHARE study is based on the participation of 5000 young female students, from 18 to 20 years-old, all registered at the Universities of Bordeaux or Versailles Saint-Quentin (UVSQ). The 3-years follow-up includes completion of a self-administrated questionnaire regarding sexual behaviour, socio-demographic characteristics, access to health-care services and, for a sub-group of 1000 students, the taking of genital and oral self-taken samples for the detection and genotyping of HPV (every 3 months). Previously, a pilot phase study (2 visits in 3 months of interval) is set up on 50 young female students from UVSQ in order to test feasibility. This study will provide data to gain insight into the possibility of type replacement. Moreover, this study would provide an overview of HPV vaccine coverage and effectiveness HPV incidence and factors associated with HPV infection and co-infection ; Partners recruitment would allow us to follow HPV transmission dynamics among couples, and in particular, HPV exposure in young adult women. The HPV research won't be limited to virus detection in samples but will indicate the presence or absence of HPV infection. Finally, additional genetic studies could be conducted in order to study genetic susceptibility to HPV infection, to chronic HPV infection and to co-infection. This research project is part of the i-Share program funded by the "Investissement d'Avenir" cohort call.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) 16 and HPV 18 (the two virus genotypes targeted by the ProCervix vaccine) are the most common HPV genotypes associated with at least 70% of squamous cell carcinomas and 82% of adenocarcinomas of the cervix The strategy of therapeutic vaccination with ProCervix is to activate and enhance the patient's cellular immune response to HPV . The therapeutic vaccine will be used for women infected by HPV 16, HPV 18, or both. The vaccine targets these HPV infected women with normal or mild cervical cellular dyskaryosis as detectable infections with oncogenic potential. This will be a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel group study assessing the efficacy of ProCervix or placebo (concomitantly administered with imiquimod cream). ProCervix will be delivered with a topical agent, imiquimod, applied to the injection sites as a vaccine adjuvant. The population proposed for this study represents an otherwise healthy female population who are infected with HPV 16 and/or HPV 18. The safety and tolerability of this therapeutic vaccine has been shown in the ongoing Phase I study, and the proposed population may in theory derive benefit from this vaccine.
This clinical trial studies anal human papillomavirus (HPV) tests in screening for cell changes in the anus in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Screening tests may help doctors find cancer cells early and plan better treatment for anal cancer. Completing multiple screening tests may help find the best method for detecting cell changes in the anus.
We are the missing link in clinical trials, connecting patients and researchers seamlessly and conveniently using a mobile health platform to advance medical research. We make it easy for patients to contribute to research for medical conditions that matter most to them, regardless of their location or ability to travel.
There has been very limited research that has looked at electronic reminders (text messages) and its effectiveness in adherence to vaccination among low-income minority populations. Results have shown that text messages, among low-income parents and adolescents who were identified as having a cellphone, is an effective strategy to increase the likelihood of adolescent vaccination adherence. Hard copy and electronic messaging reminders have also been proven to be effective when coupled with other prevention strategies for immunizations for influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia and screening for colon, breast, and cervical cancer in adults. Additionally, Merck and Co. recommend electronic reminders in their patient compliance program as a key strategy for adherence. To our knowledge, this community-based pilot intervention study will be the first to assess electronic reminders and HPV vaccine initiation and adherence among rural uninsured and Medicaid populations. The investigators hypothesize that adolescent whose parents who receive the intervention will be more likely to initiate HPV vaccination and be compliant at 3 months and at 7 months as compared to the control group.
A study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of V501 (quadrivalent Human Papilloma Virus [HPV] [Type 6, 11, 16 and 18] L1 Virus-Like Particle vaccine, GARDASIL™) in healthy, 16- to 26-year old Japanese males. The hypotheses tested are: 1) V501 reduces the combined incidence of HPV 6-, 11-, 16-, or 18-related persistent infection compared with placebo, and 2) V501 reduces the combined incidence of HPV 6-, 11-, 16-, or 18-related persistent infection, condyloma acuminata, penile/perianal/perineal intraepithelial neoplasia, or penile, perianal, or perineal cancer compared with placebo.
This prospective study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) as a clinical marker of sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP). The potential benefit of SCCA in the diagnosis of unilateral nasal pathology and as a marker of hidden recurrence was evaluated as well. Blood samples from patients with sinonasal IP were examined to determine serum SCCA levels before surgery, the day after surgery, and every 6 months during follow-up. Preoperative and postoperative levels of SCCA were compared.
The purpose of the study is to conduct research of a new PET radiopharmaceutical in cancer patients. The uptake of the novel radiopharmaceutical 18F-FPPRGD2 will be assessed in study participants with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), gynecological cancers, and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who are receiving antiangiogenesis treatment.
