This is a phase 2, open-label study to assess the immunogenicity of the 9-valent human papillomavirus (HPV) recombinant vaccine (Gardasil9) in people born male with current or past exposure to androgen blockers or estrogen (BM-EABE). Investigators will enroll BM-EABE with HIV and HIV negative controls (BM-EABE or men who have sex with a person with a penis (MSPP)) and administer Gardasil9 at timepoints Day 0, Month 2, and Month 6. The immune response to the vaccine will be analyzed at Month 7 (1 month following the final vaccine dose).
This intervention study will use parent-, provider-, and health center-level strategies to promote HPV vaccination among 11-17 year olds receiving care in 8 community health centers in Florida, will explore factors related to the intervention effect, and will explore implementation outcomes of the intervention.
This study will investigate whether injecting genital warts with small quantities of the Gardasil 9 vaccine has an effect on the warts.
People living with HIV (PLWH) are 28 times more likely to be diagnosed with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) - associated anal cancer than the general population. The HPV vaccine is an effective and safe approach to prevent and reduce the risk of HPV-related disease among PLWH. HPV vaccine programs tailored and implemented in the HIV population are lagging for this high-risk group. The CDC's 4 Pillars Transformation Program is a multi-level, evidence-based intervention that has been successfully used to increase HPV vaccination in the general population and is ready to be tested in the high-risk HIV population, particularly PLWH in the rural South. This program offers providers and clinic staff evidence-based strategies to increase HPV vaccination uptake via training and educational resources. This study proposes to tailor and refine the 4 Pillars Program and conduct this project in three HIV clinics in Georgia.
The educational intervention to be delivered by the CHE(Community Health Educator) consists of "toolkit education materials" developed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and a small media intervention (i.e., video) that our research team has developed. The NCI-produced toolkit education materials consist of Power Point presentations, flyers, and posters that contain information about HPV(Human Papilloma Virus), HPV-related cancers, and the importance of the HPV vaccine series for adolescents (9-17 years old) and young adults (18-26 year old) who are eligible for the vaccine.
An open-label, controlled, multi-site, interventional, 2-arm, Phase II/III trial of BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab vs pembrolizumab monotherapy as first line treatment in patients with unresectable recurrent or metastatic HPV16+ HNSCC expressing programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) with combined positive score (CPS) ≥1. This trial has two parts. Part A, is an initial non-randomized Safety Run-In Phase to confirm the safety and tolerability at the selected dose range level of BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab. Part B, is a randomized part to generate pivotal efficacy and safety data of BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab monotherapy in the first line setting in patients with unresectable recurrent or metastatic HPV16+ HNSCC expressing PD-L1 with CPS ≥1. Patients included in the Safety Run-In Phase of the trial (Part A) will not be randomized to Part B and will continue on-trial treatment (BNT113 plus pembrolizumab) within Part A. For Part B, an optional pre-screening phase is available for all patients where patients' tumor samples may be submitted for central HPV16 DNA and central PD-L1 expression testing prior to screening into the main trial. Patients will be treated with BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab or with pembrolizumab monotherapy for approximately up to 24 months.
Currently there are no standards for healthcare worker vaccination with the HPV, Gardasil-9 vaccine. For health care workers, the CDC only recommends for vaccination against hepatitis B, influenza virus, Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR), Chickenpox (Varicella), Tetanus, Diptheria, and Pertussis (Tdap), and meninogococcal infections6
The researchers are doing this study is to find out if lower doses (given in fewer treatments over a shorter period of time) of radiation therapy in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy is an effective treatment for people with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)-positive throat cancer and works as well as the standard doses of radiation therapy in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy. The chemotherapy drugs used in combination with radiation therapy in this study include cisplatin, carboplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).
The current standard treatment option for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) or p16-positive oropharyngeal cancer is full-dose radiation combined with chemotherapy. Results with chemotherapy combined with full-dose radiation therapy leads to high rates of cure; this has called into question whether therapy can be decreased in intensity since both chemotherapy and radiation have long-term side effects. One approach to decrease intensity of treatment is to give radiation alone (excluding chemotherapy) and to decrease radiation therapy dose. The investigator believes that omitting chemotherapy and decreasing radiation dose both to tumor and the regions of the head and neck at highest risk of potential spread, may have no significant impact on the cancer recurring while potentially leading to fewer long-term side effects.
The researchers are doing this study to find out if HB-202/HB-201 is a feasible treatment for people with HPV 16-positive head and neck squamous cell cancer (HPV 16+ HNSCC) who have received standard treatment for their disease but then tested positive for HPV 16-related tumor DNA in the blood through a test called NavDx. Participants will have no evidence of cancer on imaging scans (radiographically) or by medical examination (clinically). Past studies have shown that a positive NavDx test strongly suggests the possible presence of microscopic cancer, though we do not know if testing positive will definitely lead to the cancer coming back (recurrence). The NavDx blood test has not been approved by the FDA and is considered investigational.
