About this study

Official title: A Single-Arm, Open-Label Pilot Trial of the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus Vaccine in HIV-1-Infected Men

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from human papillomavirus may help the body build an effective immune response to kill HIV cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well human papillomavirus vaccine therapy works in treating men with HIV-1 infection.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To assess the safety and tolerability of quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) (types 6, 11, 16, 18) recombinant vaccine in HIV-infected men.
  • To assess the immunogenicity of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine for types 6, 11, 16 and 18 in subjects who are antibody-negative at baseline.

Secondary

  • To evaluate the changes in plasma HIV-1 RNA and CD4+ count after the vaccination series.
  • To describe the associations of CD4+ count, nadir CD4+ count, and age on antibody response.
  • To evaluate the levels and persistence of HPV 6, 11, 16, and 18 antibody titers after the vaccination series among subjects according to serostatus at baseline.
  • To evaluate the oral levels of serum IgA before and after the vaccination series.

Tertiary

  • To evaluate prevalent and incident HPV infections in the anal canal.
  • To evaluate cytological and histological abnormalities in the anal canal.
  • To evaluate prevalent and incident HPV infections in the oral cavity.
  • To compare oral and anal compartmental shedding of HPV before and after vaccination.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6, 11, 16, 18) recombinant vaccine intramuscularly on day 0 and weeks 8 and 24.

After completion of protocol therapy, patients are followed at 7, 12, and 18 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gardasil in people with Infection and Precancerous Condition, run by AIDS Malignancy Consortium at 8 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 20 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jul 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Occurrence of ≥ Grade 3 Adverse Events Probably or Definitely Related to the Vaccine (time frame: All study visits). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00513526, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Nov 2023.
