Filter by:The aim of the study is to develop and implement robust analytical protocols for first-void urine sample preparation and antibody assays to monitor vaccine induced immunity against HPV (Human Papillomavirus).
Video-assisted counseling has been shown to improve consistency of counseling regarding a wide variety of health-care related issues. West Cancer Center has shown a significant increase in breast cancer susceptibility gene testing in ovarian cancer patients following video-assisted counseling compared to traditional provider-led counseling. This trial is designed to determine if video-assisted counseling can improve HPV vaccination rates by providing consistent counseling in a timely fashion.
This is a Phase 2, open label study (Study number VP-102-105; referred to as COVE-1 [Cantharidin and Occlusion in Verruca Epithelium]) to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of VP-102 treatment in subjects with common warts. This study has two Cohorts.
Background: Currently prevalence of HPV infections for high risk strains among young women in Switzerland is unknown. In addition, since 2008 a vaccination program to prevent these infections has been implemented in a number of cantons, but its actual population impact is currently unknown. For now, HPV screening in Switzerland is mainly performed by gynecologists or during gynecological consultation at hospital. This method is certainly effective, but expensive; population coverage of screening is still insufficient. A whole segment of the target population does not participate in this screening especially young people of foreign origin, for various reasons: economic cost, no gynecological, and for other reasons. Several studies raise the effectiveness and efficiency of self-sampling to increase coverage of screening, and the rate of participation of non-participants. Through this study, the investigators evaluate effectiveness of this vaccination on the prevalence of HPV infections using HPV prevalence kit and assess evolution of infection and clearance of HPV virus during 5 years in a population of young unvaccinated and vaccinated women. Method: During the study, each participants will perform a vaginal swab sampling by auto to research HPV. These samples will be sent to a laboratory where HPV typing is done by PCR using the Anyplex ™ II technology. The study will focus on a sample of 400 young women. Participants must complete a questionnaire containing demographic questions and their HPV immunization status. Vaccination coverage expected in this population is about 50%. Depending on the state of vaccination, two different groups will be vaccinated vs unvaccinated (200 women per group). The cases of HPV infection are then calculated for each group and compared as a function of the status of vaccination. Statistical tests will be applied McNemar's test for comparison between the HPV prevalence rates between the 2 groups. Expected Results: This study will allow us to confirm the possibility of using self-sampling as a method of screening and monitoring of HPV infections in the general population, it will also enable us to document the effectiveness of HPV vaccination by comparing prevalence rate of HPV infections among a group of young girls vaccinated and not vaccine and assess evolution of infection and clearance of HPV virus.
Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP) causes wart-like growths in the airway which can make it difficult to breathe, speak and carry out normal everyday activities. It is a rare condition affecting all ages, but is more common and aggressive in children than in adults, affecting 4 in every 100,000 children. There is no known cure for RRP, but symptoms are checked through regular hospital visits, with multiple therapies or procedures under general anaesthetic needed to remove or shrink the growths which can grow back quickly. The problem is that nobody knows which therapies or procedures work best. Aim: To identify which RRP treatments currently used in National Health Service (NHS) hospitals within the United Kingdom (UK) are the most effective and safest in the short- and long-term. It will also identify which patients respond best to specific treatments, and those who are at higher risk of experiencing a complication after treatment. Method: Collect information from usual patient care and quality of life questionnaire responses in a secure online database. Participation in this study requires patient/parent/guardian consent. This observational study does not require patients to undergo any additional intervention as part of the research.
Vaccine-preventable diseases such as hepatitis A and meningitis, as well as cancers caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) disproportionately impact young Black men who have sex with men (YBMSM). Traditional techniques of vaccination promotion have been unable to address the racial disparities in vaccination rates. One promising method for influencing behavior change within YBMSM networks is diffusion of information through Popular Opinion Leaders (POLs). The POL model engages persons who are leaders within their own networks/communities to promote behavior change. The objective of this project is to develop and pilot test a POL intervention to increase routine HAV, HPV and meningococcal conjugate vaccination among YBMSM, ages 18-26. research (PAR) framework to facilitate community support and ensure intervention strategies are salient. PAR includes community members as equal collaborators in the research process. Outcomes from these aims are expected to have an impact on health outcomes by identifying effective strategies for increasing vaccination and routine healthcare engagement among YBMSM.
HPV vaccination is at lower levels than the national goals. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of quality improvement strategies for increasing HPV vaccination coverage among adolescents in primary care clinics.
Phase IV prospective study measuring the immunogenicity (neutralizing antibody titles against each HPV vaccine genotype) of the 9-valent vaccine against HPV (Gardasil9®Merck) in HIV-positive women aged 15-40 years with fully suppressed HIV viremia on combined antiretroviral therapy. After a first open phase evaluating tolerability of Gardasil9 (from June 2018 to December 2018), an amendment was introduced to randomize women between two different doses schedules: in the first schedule (ARM A), women will receive 2 doses at time 0 and 6 months and a third dose between 18-48 months if their antibody levels are insufficient; the second schedule (ARM B) will be 3 doses at 0, 2 and 6 months. Primary outcome is the non-inferiority of the rate of seroconversion against each HPV vaccine genotypes in women seronegative at baseline after either 2 or 3 doses of vaccination (month 7). Secondary outcomes are rate of seroconversion after 3 doses if they have received a third dose, completion of vaccine schedule, vaccine safety, antibody titles, and induction of cellular immunity against HPV contained in the vaccine, incidence of cervical HPV infection and incidence of abnormal cytology after vaccination. The safety of the vaccination (local or systemic reaction and impact on HIV viral control and immunodeficiency level) will be assessed. The cellular immune response will be assessed in a subgroup of patients.
This study evaluates the positive and negative predictive value of E6/E7 mRNA expression for anal HSIL and its capacity to predict incident HSIL in HIV + MSM. We also analyse the cost-effectiveness of this new screening strategy. It is an ambispective study with 355 participants and a follow-up period of 2 to 5 years.
The project aims to increase HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening through a web-based mobile health education program called, Wheel of Wellness (WoW) and a brief negotiated interview (BNI). The in-person BNI and WoW system will provide educational resources for participants and their families to learn more about HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening.
