Phase II Study of Artesunate Ointment for the Treatment of Vulvar High Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (Vulvar HSIL, VIN2/3)

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This is a phase II double-blind, placebo-controlled study of artesunate ointment for the treatment of HPV-associated vulvar HSIL (usual type vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:FEMALE
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Adult women age ≥ 18 years
  2. * Capable of informed consent
  3. * Able to collaborate with planned follow-up (transportation, compliance history, etc)
  4. * Biopsy diagnosis of high-grade vulvar dysplasia (VIN2, VIN3, VIN2/3, HSIL), including both new and recurrent disease. A biopsy diagnosis of vulvar high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion within the previous 3 months which was not excised or otherwise treated may be accepted for study entry.
  5. * Positive HPV test at study entry (any genotype).
  6. * Women of childbearing potential agree to use birth control during the dosing phase (through week 8).
  7. * Laboratory values at Screening of:
  8. * Serum alanine transaminase (SGPT/ALT) \< 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  9. * Serum aspartate transaminase (SGOT/AST) \< 5 x ULN
  10. * Serum Bilirubin (total) \< 2.5 x ULN
  11. * Serum Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN
  12. * Weight ≥ 50kg
  1. * Pregnant and nursing women
  2. * Concurrent anal, vulvar, or cervical cancer
  3. * HIV-positive participants with a CD4 count \< 200
  4. * Participants infected with HIV-1 if not on a stable, suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen.
  5. * Unwillingness to undergo an excisional procedure at week 18 to either remove HSIL lesions, or to document histologic regression at a site where HSIL was present at study entry.
  6. * Currently receiving systemic chemotherapy or radiation therapy for another cancer.
  7. * Concomitant use of Efavirenz for HIV antiretroviral treatment
  8. * Concomitant use of strong UGT inhibitors
  9. * Concomitant use of imiquimod, cidofovir, or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) for the duration of the study
  10. * Concurrent dermatological conditions affecting the vulva (e.g., herpetic lesion, Crohn's disease, hidradenitis suppurativa) or vulvar dermatoses (e.g., lichen sclerosis or planus, atopic dermatitis, genital atrophy).
  11. * Concurrent treatment with systemic corticosteroids
