About this study

Official title: AMC-072: Protective Effect of Quadrivalent Vaccine in Young HIV-Positive Males Who Have Sex With Males

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus may help the body build an effective immune response to prevent viral infection.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well vaccine therapy works in preventing human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in young HIV-positive male patients who have sex with males.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine the protective effect of the HPV-6, -11, -16, -18 vaccine in preventing penile/scrotal condyloma and HPV-6, -11, -16, -18- associated perianal/anal disease in HIV-positive males who have sex with males (MSM) age 13-26 years by comparing the incidence of these lesions among those naïve to the relevant HPV type(s) at baseline to those who are not naïve at baseline.
  • To determine the protective effect of the HPV-6, -11, -16, -18 vaccine in preventing persistent anogenital infection with HPV-6, -11, -16, or 18 in HIV-positive MSM age 13-26 years by comparing the incidence of persistent infection among those naïve to the relevant HPV type(s) at baseline to those who are not naïve at baseline.
  • To determine the protective effect of the HPV-6, -11, -16, -18 vaccine in preventing anogenital lesions associated with HPV 6,-11,-16, -18 and persistent infection with these types, in HIV-positive MSM age 13-26 years by comparing the incidence of lesions and persistent infection among those naïve to the relevant types at baseline to incident lesions and infection among MSM naïve to these HPV types who participated in the Merck 020 protocol and who received placebo as part of the protocol.

Secondary

  • To define the safety of the HPV-6, -11, -16, -18 vaccine in HIV-positive MSM age 13-26 years.
  • To evaluate the levels and persistence of HPV 6, 11, 16 and 18 Ab titers after the vaccination series among subjects who are seropositive and seronegative at baseline.
  • To examine whether the protective effect and antibody titers vary as a function of the following at the time of initial vaccination: subject age, HAART treatment status, HIV viral load, CD4 + T-cell count, and nadir CD4 level.

Tertiary

  • To quantify anogenital HPV DNA viral load prior to and after receipt of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine.
  • To identify and quantify HPV types in the oral cavity of HIV-positive MSM prior to and after receipt of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine.
  • To identify HPV strain variants among HIV-positive participants prior to and after receipt of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine.
  • Assess the prevalence and incidence of urinary and gonorrhea and Chlamydia trachomatis infection at baseline and their relationship with prevalent and incident anogenital HPV infection and anal condyloma or AIN.
  • To characterize young men's risk perceptions, sexual behaviors, and STI diagnosis after HPV vaccination.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6, 11, 16, and 18) recombinant vaccine intramuscularly on day 1 and in weeks 8 and 24.

Blood and tissue samples may be collected periodically for laboratory studies.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6, 11, 16, 18) recombinant vaccine and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Anal Cancer and Nonneoplastic Condition, run by AIDS Malignancy Consortium at 19 sites in 2 countries.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 11 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. 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 27 May 2020). 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?

Incidence of AIN or Anal/Perianal Condyloma Associated With HPV 6 DNA (time frame: Post Month 7 through Month 24). The study lists 16 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 NCT01209325, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Aug 2020.
