Filter by:The purpose of this study is to gain information about intravaginal practices, like intravaginal "twalet deba", among Haitian women living in South Florida. Intravaginal "twalet deba" may include douching, cleaning inside the vagina with different kinds of products, or using steam/vapor that enter the vagina. The investigators want to help learn the best way to increase early detection and/or prevention for cervical cancer. The investigators would like to know what plants, herbs, commercial products and medicines are used in these practices, how these products are prepared, applied, why these products are used, and how these products affect the vagina and cervix.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus that spreads through skin-to-skin contact. Some HPV types can cause changes in cells that lead to cancer and are known as 'high-risk' HPV (hrHPV). hrHPV is linked to cancers of the cervix (opening of the womb), throat, and anus (exit of the bowel). It is not known if transgender people (individuals whose gender identity does not align with their sex assigned at birth) are at increased risk of hrHPV or cancers caused by hrHPV compared to cisgender people (individuals whose gender identity does align with their birth sex). There is also little knowledge about HPV in the vagina for transgender women who have surgery to make one. Transgender men may be at higher risk of cervical cancer than cisgender women because they are less likely to go for screening. This can be because of physical discomfort and emotional distress during screening when a swab is taken directly from the cervix. The investigators seek to examine how common hrHPV is in transgender people in different parts of the body. In the study, participants will take swabs from the vagina and anus, a urine sample, and use mouthwash. Transgender men will also have an extra swab taken by a clinician as part of routine cervical screening. This is to see if the swab from the vagina is as good as the one from the cervix for finding cells that might lead to cancer. Participants will also take an online survey to measure the acceptability of self-sampling compared to clinician sampling. This research can inform HPV prevalence and decision-making about HPV screening among transgender people.
A randomized controlled study was conducted to determine the effects of vaginal estrogen and human interferon alpha 2b vaginal effervescent capsules on vaginal microecology in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. To determine whether there is a synergistic effect between the two in the treatment of HPV infection in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. To observe the effects of two drugs alone and combined on the vaginal immune environment of patients.
Since 2019, the HPV working group of the University of Virginia Cancer Center's Southwest Virginia Community Advisory Board has developed and executed strategies to increase regional HPV vaccination rates. Members collaboratively developed Appalachian Voices for Health, a multi-level media production and social marketing intervention. This novel intervention builds on the past efforts of the working group and the engaged organizations; takes into account the impact of vaccine hesitancy on HPV vaccination uptake; and incorporates best practices. Through the intervention, Nursing and Dental Assistant students from Mountain Empire Community College will develop PSAs after receiving training about HPV vaccination and health communication. These PSAs will be used in a social marketing campaign executed through a regional transportation system managed by Mountain Empire Older Citizens. Specifically, the trial's aims are three-fold: assess the intervention's impact on community members' and students' HPV vaccine hesitancy (Aim 1) and perceptions and actions related to HPV vaccination (Aim 2) and evaluate other feasibility indicators at the community-, student-, organizational-, and process levels (Aim 3). The research team will use a concurrent mix-methods approach to assess feasibility indicators. Aims will be assessed using surveys, focus groups, meeting minutes, and implementation records. Data will be analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and content coding. Determination of the intervention's feasibility will consider the achievement benchmarks for feasibility indicators individually and collectively. Data will be used to inform refinement and future testing of Appalachian Voices for Health.
BS-02 is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 1 dose escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of FluBHPVE6E7, in women infected with HPV-16. with cervical cytological evaluation negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (NILM), atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US), low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), or low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1).
Patients affected by ASC-US/ low-grade HPV cervical lesions will be randomly assigned to treatment arm vs control arm. The treatment arm will include the characterization of the vaginal microbiota at enrollment (T0), 4 months of oral treatment with Lactobacillus Crispatus M 247 (1 buccal stick Die), characterization of the vaginal microbiota at 1 month post treatment (T5 m). The vaginal microbiota will be evaluated by Danagene microbiome vaginal DNA KIT-XMICROGem (XBIOGem) test, with amplification of the variable regions of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene, using the MICROBIOTA kit (CE-IVD - ARROW diagnostics) and second generation sequencing technologies (NGS on Illumina MiSeq platform). The control arm will provide for the characterization of the vaginal microbiota at the same timescales. Patients will be given a medical history questionnaire at T0 and T5m
Background: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare disease that causes wart-like growths in the airways. These growths come back when removed; some people may need 2 or more surgeries per year to keep their airways clear. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To see if a drug called bevacizumab can reduce the number of surgeries needed in people with RRP. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older with recurrent RRP; they must need surgery to remove the growths in their airways. Design: Participants will be screened. Their ability to breathe and speak will be evaluated. They will have an endoscopy: a flexible tube with a light and camera will be inserted into their nose and throat. They will have a test of their heart function and imaging scans of their chest. Participants will have surgery to remove the growths in their airways. Bevacizumab is given through a small tube placed in a vein in the arm. After the surgery, participants will receive 11 doses of this drug: every 3 weeks for 3 doses, and then every 6 weeks for 8 more doses. They will come to the clinic for each dose; each visit will be about 8 hours. Tissue samples of the growths will be collected after the second treatment; this will be done under general anesthesia. Participants may undergo apheresis: Blood will be drawn from a needle in an arm. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the cells needed for the study. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a second needle. Follow-up will continue for 1 year after the last treatment.
This trial will evaluate the possible benefits and the performance of liquid biopsies in HPV-associated cancer treatment monitoring. This study aims to find a combination of an adequately sensitive and specific sampling method and biomarkers for early risk stratification of disease recurrence.
This is a placebo-controlled, triple-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT) designed to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a larger multicentric RCT investigating the effect of a Carrageenan mouthwash on oral HPV infection. Eligible participants will complete a single in-person visit at baseline, filling out a questionnaire on their electronic device and giving an oral rinse sample for HPV testing. They will receive an adequate supply of mouthwash and instructions on its use. They will subsequently be followed up for up to six months. Every two weeks, participants will fill out a follow-up questionnaire on mouthwash use and sexual activities and self-collect oral rinse sample to be returned by mail.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is currently one of the most common sexually transmitted infections, according to its carcinogenicity is divided into high-risk genotypes and low-risk genotypes, research has confirmed that carcinogenic HPV type continuous infection leads to a higher incidence of condyloma acuminatum and cervical cancer, while increasing the oropharyngeal cancer, vaginal cancer and other related cancer risk. Based on clinical practice, the purpose of this study was to: 1) identify the correlation between HPV integration and the outcome of disease in HSIL women. 2) To determine the prognostic value of different HPV gene integration status in HSIL women. 3) To clarify the relationship between different HPV gene integration status and diversity of vaginal flora in HSIL women.
