Filter by:The main goal of project is to study the distribution of HPV genotypes in the anogenital area and peripheral humoral immune responses HPV (total and neutralizing Ab) before and after renal transplantation. Furthermore, the investigators wish (i) establish whether there is a correlation between HPV infection and HPV immune response before and after transplantation, and (ii) determine whether there is a link between HPV infection and immunosuppression.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well durvalumab before surgery works in treating patients with oral cavity or oropharynx cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This clinical trial compares three anal cytology collection procedures (collected at a single visit) in men who have sex with men (MSM). It also compares two different tests for human papilloma virus, the virus that causes high grade anal dysplasia, which is thought to occur before anal cancer. This study may help doctors develop better screening for high-grade anal dysplasia in MSM in order to identify those who need to return for additional screening and treatment.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether Self-HPV may be an accurate method for the follow-up of women with a history of HPV infection.
HNSCC is the 4th highest incidence of cancer and 6th of cancer death of the males in Taiwan. Because the patients were mainly middle-aged male, the disease eventually resulted in a huge loss of labor force, productivity and a huge burden of family supports and medicinal costs. Currently, the primary treatments of HNSCC are mainly surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or targeted therapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Compared to oral cavity cancer, patients with pharyngeal cancer would possibly harbor HPV infections and have better treatment outcomes, prognosis and survival with clinically significance; however, the investigator's reports showed quite the opposite prognostic value in oral cavity cancer. The inconsistent data urges us to investigate further. Fortunately, in recent years, The investigator have developed a new method for isolation and detection of CTCs in HNSCC patients.The investigator's data found that high level of CTCs in patients with HNSCC and might be associated with disease prognosis, response to treatment and distant metastasis. This novel tool enhances the studies addressing on metastases or recurrence process in HNSCC patients. However, the investigator did not focus whether if the dynamic change of CTCs and specific surface markers on CTCs, such as P16+ CTCs are clinically meaningful. Therefore, in the first year, the investigator will utilize the investigator's developing device and protocol to isolate high-purity CTCs to further identify P16+ on CTCs. In the following 2 years of the project, the investigator will enroll 150 freshly diagnosed patients with oral cavity, oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal and laryngeal cancer at all stages (75 P16+ and 75 P16- patients) and 30 healthy donors for cell line tests, and then analyze CTCs, background white blood cells signals, and their initial biopsied tissue for P16 positivity test. Further statistical tests with clinical conditions (disease status, treatment effects, progression or distant metastasis and death) will be performed to elucidate their clinical significance.Hopefully, the investigator will clarify the clinical significance of circulating P16 expression status on CTCs by this study and provide a new biomarker for clinical cancer care.
The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of cotton and flocked swabs for vaginal self-sampling.
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are the most common of sexually transmitted viral agents and they are associated with genital and oral diseases. Agreement between cervical and oral HPV infection has been described from a small group of patient. Our study, performed on a greater number of patients, will provide a good estimation of this link, between cervical and oral infection, in a French population of women with a primary cervical HPV infection.
A Phase III Double Blinded, Randomized Controlled Study to Evaluate Efficacy of Protection Against HPV-16 and 18 Related Diseases, Immunogenicity and Safety of Recombinant Human Papillomavirus Virus-like Particle Vaccine (Type 16 and 18 L1 Proteins, Yeast) in Healthy Females Aged 18-30 Years.
The aim of the study is to develop robust analytical protocols for first-void urine sample preparation and antibody assays to monitor natural and/or vaccine induced immunity against HPV (Human Papillomavirus).
This phase IIa trial studies how well the experimental drug, BGJ398 (infigratinib), works in treating patients with fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 1-3 translocated, mutated, or amplified head and neck cancer that has returned after a period of improvement. BGJ398 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
