Active clinical trials for "Uterine Cervical Dysplasia"

This study evaluated the long-term safety of quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types 6, 11, 16, 18 vaccine and its effectiveness in the prevention of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), adenocarcinoma in situ, and cervical cancer related to HPV in Japanese women.

Precancerous lesions of the cervix occur frequently and are treatable. This justifies a population-based screening program. Following an abnormal Pap smear, patients are referred for a colposcopic exam to confirm the presence/stage of disease and select appropriate treatments. Unfortunately, these approaches do not detect all lesions or can sometimes give 'false positive' results (resulting in overtreatment). We are testing a device called a 'multispectral digital colposcope' to determine whether it is more effective at detecting precancerous cervical lesions than existing tools. Success in our study will make diagnoses more accurate and reduce the costs associated with unnecessary treatments.

This is a phase II clinical study of the novel recombinant HPV 16/18 bivalent vaccine expressed in E. coli. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate which dosage of the HPV vaccine can induce higher antibody and at the same time caused less adverse events. The secondary purpose of this study is to to evaluate the safety and immunopersistence of the study vaccine.

The Gardasil vaccine, a vaccine targeted towards the human papillomavirus (HPV), has been shown to prevent the transmission of several strains of HPV in young women. Women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may not respond as well to this vaccine, either due to having IBD or due to immunosuppressants used to control IBD. This study will test how well women with IBD respond to the Gardasil vaccine.

The study will be extended for subjects who received all three doses of vaccine in Finland, Denmark and Estonia to determine long-term safety and immunogenicity of the HPV-16/18 vaccine. Human Papilloma virus (HPV) are viruses that cause a common infection of the skin and genitals in men and women. Several types of HPV infection are transmitted by sexual activity and, in women, can infect the cervix (part of the uterus or womb). This infection often goes away by itself, but if it does not go away (this is called persistent infection), it can lead in women over a long period of time to cancer of the cervix. If a woman is not infected by HPV, it is very unlikely that she will get cervical cancer. This study will evaluate the consistency of consecutive vaccine lots and the non-inferiority of modified manufacturing processes of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals HPV-16/18 vaccine and the vaccine safety, over 12 months, in young adolescents and women of 10-25 years of age at study start.

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development of cancer or to treat early cancer. SGN-00101 may be effective in preventing the development of cervical cancer in patients who have cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well SGN-00101 immunotherapy works in preventing cervical cancer in patients with grade III cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain substances to try to prevent the development of cancer. Applying topical imiquimod before abnormal cervical cells are removed may be effective in preventing cervical cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of applying topical imiquimod before abnormal cervical cells are removed in preventing cervical cancer in patients who have recurrent or persistent cervical neoplasia.

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention uses drugs to try and prevent development of cancer. Fenretinide may be effective in treating cervical neoplasia and preventing cervical cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized double-blinded phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of fenretinide to placebo in treating patients with cervical neoplasia.

The study will investigate if implementation of "see and treat" in the outpatient clinic can optimize the diagnosis, clinical follow-up and treatment of older women with positive cervical screening test.

A Phase III Double Blinded, Randomized Controlled Study to Evaluate Efficacy of Protection Against HPV-16 and 18 Related Diseases, Immunogenicity and Safety of Recombinant Human Papillomavirus Virus-like Particle Vaccine (Type 16 and 18 L1 Proteins, Yeast) in Healthy Females Aged 18-30 Years.
