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).
This trial develops a health-related symptom index for participants with and either treated or monitored for anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions. The health-related quality of life index may help to capture the symptoms and related experiences of living with or being treated for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions.
Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause vulvar high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL). Sometimes, this can become cancer. Researchers want to see if T cell therapy can treat vulvar HSIL. In this therapy, a person s immune cells are genetically modified so they can attack the HPV. Objective: To test if a personalized immune treatment can cure vulvar HSIL. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with vulvar HSIL that cannot be removed with surgery, or for which surgery has failed Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam HPV testing Venous assessment Chest x-ray Heart and pulmonary tests Participants will have a baseline visit. They may have a vulvar biopsy. Photographs will be taken of their lesions. Participants will have leukapheresis: Blood is removed from a needle in the arm and circulated through a machine that takes out the white blood cells. The other blood cells are returned through a needle in the other arm. The white blood cells will be used to grow treatment cells. Participants will receive the treatment through a tube inserted into an arm, neck, or chest vein. They will recover in the hospital for 1 to 2 days. They will have blood tests and take supportive medications. Participants may have one more treatment. Participants will have 5 follow-up visits in the first 3 months after treatment. They may have more visits if their disease is growing. Visits will include blood tests. They may include vulvar biopsies or leukapheresis. Participants will have an annual physical exam for 5 years after treatment that can be done at home or at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Then they will have an annual phone or email questionnaire for another 10 years....
This is a phase 2, open-label efficacy study of VGX-3100 administered by intramuscular (IM) injection followed by electroporation (EP) in adult men and women who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) negative with histologically confirmed anal or anal/peri-anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) associated with human papilloma virus (HPV)-16 and/or HPV-18. Approximately 24 participants will receive at least 3 doses of VGX-3100.
Background: Vulvar high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) is caused by infection of the vulva with human papillomavirus (HPV). In a small percentage of cases, vulvar HSIL can turn into cancer. The risk of cancer can be reduced by treating HSIL. A personalized immune treatment might rid the body of HPV infection and thereby cure vulvar HSIL. The immune treatment in this study is called T cell therapy. The cells are E6 T Cell Receptor (TCR) T cells. Participants will also get aldesleukin (IL-2) to help the cells last longer. Objective: To find a safe dose of E6 TCR T cells combined with aldesleukin to use in people with vulvar HSIL. Eligibility: Design: Participants will be screened with: Physical exam Medical history Blood, lab, and pregnancy tests Heart tests Chest x-ray Sample of tissue taken from the vulva (biopsy). Participants will have leukapheresis. Blood will be removed by a needle in one arm. A machine removes white blood cells from the blood. The rest of the blood is returned by needle in the other arm. The white blood cells will be changed into E6 TCR T cells and grown in a lab. About 3 weeks later, participants will be admitted to the hospital for about 5 days. They will get the cells through a tube placed in a vein. They will get IL-2 the same way. Participants will recover 1-3 days in the hospital. They will be monitored closely. They will have blood and lab tests. Participants will have follow-up visits with lab tests and a physical exam every few months for 5 years. At some visits they will also have leukapheresis, blood tests, or vulvar biopsy.
The purpose of this study is to finalize development of a questionnaire that measures health-related symptoms and concerns for persons diagnosed with, and either treated or monitored for, anal pre-cancer lesions.
This is a Phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a human papilloma virus (HPV) therapeutic vaccine called PepCan (HPV 16 E6 peptides combined with Candida skin testing reagent called Candin®) in adult females over a 12 month time period. As the results from the Phase I trial demonstrated some efficacy against non-16 HPV types, Candin alone will also be tested. Therefore, there will be two treatment arms: (1) PepCan and (2) Candin. Subjects found to be eligible for vaccination will be randomized in a double-blinded fashion at a 1:1 ratio. Each participant will be receiving injections four times with three weeks between injections. Clinical and virological responses will be assessed at 6 and 12 months. Safety will be assessed from the time of enrollment to 12 Month Visit. Immunological assessments will be made at 4 time points (prevaccination, after 2 injections, 6 month after 4 injections and 12 months after 4 vaccinations).
The purpose of this study is to find out if a Chinese herbal cream is effective in treating HSIL (high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, also known as HGAIN, or high-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia).
A-007 is an investigational therapy which may be effective in the treatment of pre-cancerous cervical dysplasia (abnormal cell growth). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of A-007, when used to treat high-grade cervical dysplasia.
RATIONALE: High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions of the skin near the anus are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Antiviral drugs,, such as cidofovir, act against viruses and may stop these lesions from becoming cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well topical cidofovir works in treating HIV-infected patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions of the skin near the anus.

The purpose of this study is to see if curcumin can reverse anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (aHSIL) (high-grade anal precancerous cells or high-grade abnormal cells) in people living with HIV to avoid current treatments such as ablation (destroying abnormal cells with heat or surgical excision (cutting out the abnormal cells)), which have potential short- and long-term side effects.
This is a phase II double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study of artesunate ointment for the treatment of HIV-negative men and women who have anal high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (anal HSIL)
This is a phase II double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study of Artesunate suppositories for the treatment of HIV-negative men and women who have anal high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (anal HSIL)
The investigators have developed a portable, battery-operated, mobile high-resolution microendoscope (mHRME) that provides subcellular images of the anal epithelium, delineating the cellular and morphologic changes associated with neoplasia. The investigators' central hypothesis is that this 'optical' approach will increase the efficiency, clinical impact, and cost-effectiveness of the current standard of high-resolution anoscopy(HRA)-guided biopsy, thus facilitating usage by less-experienced clinicians in community-based or low-resource settings. To validate this, the investigators will conduct a study to determine the efficiency and diagnostic characteristics of the mHRME 'optical biopsy' approach versus the current standard of HRA-based tissue biopsy. Successful results will allow for improved efficacy and resource utilization for cancer screening in people living with HIV for anal cancer and other epithelial cancers including the cervix, oral cavity, bladder, and GI tract.
This study evaluates the use of ABI-1968, a topical cream, in the treatment of anal precancerous lesions in adults with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
The purpose of this research is to assess the safety and effectiveness of circumferential radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to the anal canal using the BarrxTM Ablation System to destroy anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL). The BarrxTM Ablation System used in this study comprises an RFA generator (Barrx™ FLEX) and the BarrxTM Anorectal Wand. The generator and wand are cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for human use and the wand is specifically cleared for treatment of anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN). AIN is a precancerous condition. HSIL is an advanced form of AIN. The presence of HSIL has traditionally warranted treatment. RFA has been shown in many studies to effectively and safely destroy precancerous cells in a condition called Barrett's esophagus, which is a precancerous condition of the esophagus (the swallowing tube). Recent studies have shown that RFA may offer the same benefits for those with HSIL in the anal canal. In particular, ablation of the entire circumference of the canal seems to reduce recurrence of HSIL in other locations of the anal canal. This study will last between 12 to 15 months. Subjects will be required to undergo 5 to 8 study visits as outlined below that are carried out by the study doctors or the physician assistant. Most visits will last approximately one hour. Some may be shorter and some may be longer. Up to seventy (70) volunteers will participate in this study at several locations.
This study evaluates the use of ABI-1968, a topical cream, in the treatment of anal precancerous lesions in adults with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of an investigational immunotherapy VGX-3100, in combination with a study device, to treat women with vulvar high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) \[vulval intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or 3 (VIN 2 or VIN 3)\] associated with human papilloma virus (HPV) types 16 and/or 18. VGX-3100 is being assessed as an alternative to surgery with the potential to clear the underlying HPV infection. For more information visit our study website at: www.VINresearchstudy.com
This is a Single-center prospective pilot trial involving up to 22 subjects. This study will assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to the anal canal using the FDA cleared HALO Ablation System to eradicate anal HSIL lesions in HIV-negative subjects with intra-anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN). The study intervention will demonstrate that a reasonable proportion of subjects will be histologically cleared of their anal HSIL within the ETZ in a tolerable and relatively safe manner
The study evaluates if there is relationship between the kinds of bacteria living in the anus (also known as the anal microbiome) and the risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection or HPV-related pre-cancer (high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions or HSIL) in Hispanic people living with HIV (PLWH) in Puerto Rico, Mexico and California
The goal of this study is to test the maximum tolerated dose of ACU-D1 in HIV-positive people with HPV-associated vulvar and perianal lesions. The main questions it aims to answer are: * The maximum tolerated dose of ACU-D1 * Safety and tolerability of topical ACU-D1 * Whether topical ACU-D1 induces p53 and p53-mediated downstream signaling (including p21 induction) in HPV-related lesions * Whether topical ACU-D1 enhances markers of immunity in HPV-infected HIV-positive individuals Participants will be asked * To apply ACU-D1 on the lesions twice daily for 4 weeks * 3 biopsies will be performed at the screening and 3 at the end of 4 weeks.
HPV-303 is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of VGX-3100 delivered intramuscularly (IM) followed by electroporation (EP) delivered with CELLECTRA™ 5PSP in adult women with histologically confirmed high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 \[CIN2\] or grade 3 \[CIN3\]) of the cervix, associated with human papillomavirus (HPV-16) and/or HPV-18.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well an IRX-2 Regimen works in treating women with cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia 3 or squamous vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia 3. The IRX-2 Regimen consists of a single dose of cyclophosphamide, followed by 21 days of indomethacin, zinc-containing multivitamins, and omeprazole. IRX-2, a human cell-derived biologic with multiple active cytokine components, may act as an immune booster to stimulate the immune system. Giving cyclophosphamide and IRX-2 may work better at treating cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia or squamous vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia.
This study evaluates the use of topical ABI-1968 cream, in the treatment of cervical precancerous lesions in adult women.
HPV-301 is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled Phase 3 study to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of VGX-3100 administered by intramuscular (IM) injection followed by electroporation (EP) delivered with CELLECTRA™ 5PSP in adult women with histologically confirmed cervical high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 \[CIN2\] or grade 3 \[CIN3\]) associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 and/or HPV-18.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and effectiveness of the investigational study vaccine, called TVGV-1. The study will test the vaccine in women with high grade HPV cervical infection.
Assess the safety, feasibility, and patient tolerability of circumferential radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to the anal canal for patients with anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN). Patients will have AIN with high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and the RFA will be applied using the Barrx™ Ablation System.
This trial studies the prevalence of anal dysplasia and anal cancer in patients with cervical, vaginal, and vulvar dysplasia and cancer. Studying samples collected from patients in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about the human papillomavirus and how often anal cancer occurs in patients with cervix, vagina, or vulvar cancer.
The randomized phase of the trial compared topical or ablative treatment with active monitoring in preventing anal cancer in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL). Anal HSIL is tissue in the anal canal that has been damaged by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) and is at risk for turning into anal cancer. The ANCHOR Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) determined that the primary study endpoint was completed, based on the data and statistical analysis presented to them on 07SEP2021. In the post-randomization phase of this trial, all enrolled participants are offered treatment for HSIL and/or follow-up, at the participant's choice.
