  • Ages 18 to 55 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Female age 18 to 55 years
  • Written informed consent in accordance with institutional guidelines
  • Negative pregnancy test (urine and blood tests)
  • Women of child bearing potential must agree to use contraception through one menstrual cycle post end of study or if early withdrawal, through what would have been visit 11.

About this study

Official title: Phase 2a Double-Blind, Randomized, Parallel Group, Dose-Ranging Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Three Doses of TVGV-1 Vaccine Compared to Its Adjuvant, GPI-0100, in Subjects With Histologically Confirmed HPV Induced Cervical HSIL

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.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of the Phase 2a Study VAX 02-01 is to assess the safety and activity of TVGV-1 vaccine construct in achieving the absence of histologic HSIL (CIN2/3) (regression to LSIL or less) as assessed by biopsy at last study Visit 11, Day 270.

The objective of the TVGV-1 program is to develop a non-surgical alternative that is reliable, safe, and would avoid potential surgical risks such as preterm birth, perinatal mortality, risk of infertility, incontinence and disfigurement, as well as reduced cost and inconvenience for an otherwise economically productive young subject population.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Absence of histologic HSIL (CIN2/3) as assessed by biopsy at last study Visit 11, Day 270.

    The primary analysis for efficacy will be a comparison between subjects treated with and without the PEK fusion protein with respect to the percentage who present regression of HSIL at Day 270. Separate comparisons within each cohort will be performed using Fisher's exact test (or an appropriate analogue). No adjustment for multiple comparisons will be employed in these analyses. Additionally, a corresponding comparison across all study subjects combined will be performed, based on Cochran-Matel-Haenszel test stratified for cohort.

    Measured: DAY 270

  2. Assessment of cutaneous toxicities (i.e., size, induration and time to resolution of skin reactions to vaccine).

    Summaries of the data pertaining to the primary safety outcome of skin toxicity will be provided. Summaries will be provided for the within-cohort subsets of subjects treated with the active, and with the adjuvant alone; and the combined subsets across all three cohorts of subject treated with the active, with the adjuvant alone, and with the placebo. Serious adverse events will be described in narrative with the participant's demographics, treatment date, event, onset date, relationship to the study treatment and the descriptions of the actions and outcomes during this event. Any deaths occurring in the study will be summarized in narrative with the demographics, treatment duration, cause of death, date of death and additional information surrounding that serious adverse event.

    Measured: DAY 270

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Absence of HPV16 in cervical cytological specimen. Absence of cervical dysplasia 6 months and 8 months after last dose of TVGV-1.

    The primary analysis for efficacy will be a comparison between subjects treated with and without the PEK fusion protein with respect to the percentage who present regression of HSIL at Day 270. Separate comparisons within each cohort will be performed using Fisher's exact test (or an appropriate analogue). No adjustment for multiple comparisons will be employed in these analyses. Additionally, a corresponding comparison across all study subjects combined will be performed, based on Cochran-Matel-Haenszel test stratified for cohort.

    Measured: DAY 270

  2. Assessment of clinical or laboratory findings and other safety variables.

    Appropriate laboratory data will be transformed prior to analysis as defined in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP). Summaries will be presented for each evaluation time point, as well as for changes from baseline. Changes from baseline will also be presented using shift tables for selected laboratory parameters.

    Measured: DAy 270

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TVGV-1 and GPI-0100 in people with Human Papillomavirus and High-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions, run by THEVAX Genetics Vaccine at 11 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 9 inclusion and 19 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Absence of histologic HSIL (CIN2/3) as assessed by biopsy at last study Visit 11, Day 270. (time frame: DAY 270). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Oct 2017.
