About this study

Official title: Evaluating the Impact of Optimizing the Use of HPV Vaccine Standing Orders in Primary Care Clinics

This trial will look at the impact of optimizing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine standing orders. The research team will work with primary care clinics. Some clinics will receive communication training. Other clinics will receive the same training and tools for increasing the use of their standing orders.

Read the detailed description

The researchers will conduct a cluster randomized clinical trial. The trial will look at the impact of optimizing HPV vaccine standing orders. The recruitment goal for the trial is 34 clinics in healthcare systems, including 9 rural-serving clinics. The researchers will randomize clinics using simple randomization (1:1). Some clinics will receive a communication training. Other clinics will receive a communication training and tools for optimizing the use of their standing orders. The researchers will use medical record data to compare changes in HPV vaccination among children ages 9-12. Clinics will be followed for 24 months. The researchers will also use survey data to compare HPV vaccine communication and implementation of standing orders among clinical staff. The study will engage clinical staff. Researchers will not have direct contact with children or their families.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Communication trainingBehavioural

    Clinics will host an AAT workshop. A trained facilitator will use a standard script and slides to deliver workshop in-person or over Zoom; clinical staff who are unavailable will take the workshop later on their own.

  • Communication training enhanced with standing orders optimizationBehavioural

    Clinics will host an AAT workshop, as in the other trial arm.

    Clinic representatives will attend working meetings on putting HPV vaccine standing orders into clinic workflow. Clinics will then orient their staff to the standing orders. Finally, clinic representatives will discuss their use of standing orders in a learning collaborative.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Communication training and Communication training enhanced with standing orders optimization in people with Human Papilloma Virus, run by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site 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 8 inclusion and 11 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

HPV vaccination (≥1 dose), 9-12 year olds (time frame: from baseline to 12 months). 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 21 Apr 2026.
