This is an interventional treatment trial for HPV Infection Read More

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Females aged ≥25 and ≤55 years of age at screening.
2. Persistent hrHPV infection defined as a documented cervical infection with hrHPV type(s) in the 6 to 18 months prior to screening and confirmed at screening (participants in the main and expansion phases only). Participants in the lead-in phase are only required to have the screening result.
3. Low- grade cervical lesion (CIN1 or HPV-related change only) confirmed by histology and/or cytology report within the 1 year prior to screening.

4. Not pregnant or breast feeding and one of the following:

   • Of non-childbearing potential (i.e. women who have had a hysterectomy or tubal ligation or are postmenopausal, as defined by no menses for at least 12 months and without an alternative medical cause)

   • Of childbearing potential but agrees to practice highly effective contraception for 4 weeks prior to administration of the first dose of study vaccine and throughout the study until 8 weeks after administration of the second dose. Highly effective methods of contraception include one or more of the following:

     • Male partner who is sterile (medically effective vasectomy) prior to the female participant's entry into the study and is the sole sexual partner for the female participant
     • Hormonal (oral, intravaginal, transdermal, implantable or injectable). Progestogen-only hormonal contraceptives without inhibition of ovulation are not considered to be highly effective.
     • An intrauterine hormone releasing system
     • An intrauterine device
     • Bilateral tubal occlusion
     • Sexual abstinence, only if the participant refrains from heterosexual intercourse during the entire study period and it is the usual lifestyle of the participant
5. Willing to abstain from sexual activity for 48 hours prior to all swabbing procedures

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Presence of any significant acute or chronic, uncontrolled medical (or psychiatric) illness, including blood dyscrasias.

2. Immunosuppression as a result of underlying illness or treatment including:

   • Use of high dose corticosteroids ( >10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) for ≥7 days (inhaled, otic and ophthalmic corticosteroids are permitted)
   • Primary immune deficiency disease
   • Use of synthetic or biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs
   • History of bone marrow or solid organ transplant
   • History of any other clinically significant autoimmune or immunosuppressive disease
3. Positive diagnostic tests (for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B or hepatitis C) indicating chronic infection.
4. Evidence of high grade cervical lesions by colposcopy or by Papanicolaou (Pap) smear test in the 1 year prior to screening.
5. Any history of anaphylaxis in reaction to vaccination or history of allergic reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine, e.g. severe allergy to eggs.
6. Receipt of any investigational drug or investigational vaccine within 3 months prior to administration of ChAdOx1-HPV on Day 0, or prior participation in a clinical study of any HPV vaccine.
7. Receipt of any adenoviral based vaccine within 3 months prior to administration of ChAdOx1 HPV on Day 0, or plan to receive an adenoviral-based vaccine within 3 months after Day 0.
8. Receipt of any live vaccines within the 30 days or inactivated vaccine within the 14 days prior to administration of ChAdOx1-HPV on Day 0 or planned to occur in the 2 months after the Day 0 vaccination.
9. Current or history of illicit drug use within the 6 months prior to screening.
10. Current or history of severe alcohol abuse within the 6 months prior to screening.
11. Any laboratory test which is abnormal and deemed by the Investigator to be clinically significant which will potentially affect the participation in the study.
12. Current known infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2)
13. Any other finding that, in the opinion of the Investigator, deems the participant unsuitable for the study.
