Active clinical trials for "Papilloma"

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a significant public health issue affecting nearly 14 million people in the United States. HPV can lead to cervical, oropharyngeal, anal, and penile cancers as well as genital warts.The purpose of this study is to test the comparative effectiveness of two interventions, AFIX only vs. AFIX + communication training, to increase Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates among adolescent patients in outpatient clinic settings. Providers and staff at four pediatric practices will be randomized to receive an in-person AFIX consultation or an AFIX consultation combined with communication training and commitment poster displays. Provider and parent data will be collected via a tablet computer RedCap survey. Additional practice and provider level HPV vaccination rates will be collected via patient de-identified claims data. The results of this study could contribute to the existing body of literature that suggests provider recommendations and routine vaccination assessments are key to increasing HPV vaccination uptake. This project has the potential to lead to the implementation and dissemination of low resource interventions to increase HPV vaccination rates among children and adolescents.

There has been very limited research that has looked at electronic reminders (text messages) and its effectiveness in adherence to vaccination among low-income minority populations. Results have shown that text messages, among low-income parents and adolescents who were identified as having a cellphone, is an effective strategy to increase the likelihood of adolescent vaccination adherence. Hard copy and electronic messaging reminders have also been proven to be effective when coupled with other prevention strategies for immunizations for influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia and screening for colon, breast, and cervical cancer in adults. Additionally, Merck and Co. recommend electronic reminders in their patient compliance program as a key strategy for adherence. To our knowledge, this community-based pilot intervention study will be the first to assess electronic reminders and HPV vaccine initiation and adherence among rural uninsured and Medicaid populations. The investigators hypothesize that adolescent whose parents who receive the intervention will be more likely to initiate HPV vaccination and be compliant at 3 months and at 7 months as compared to the control group.

This project involves a social media campaign to increase parent's knowledge and acceptance of the HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine. The current vaccine protects against nine types of HPV, including seven that are known to cause cancer. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that the current HPV vaccine could prevent 90% of cancer cases caused by HPV, including cases of cervical cancer, oropharyngeal (mouth and throat) cancer, anal cancer, and others. About 150 and 104 cases of HPV-associated cancers are diagnosed each year in New Hampshire and Vermont, respectively-many of which could be prevented through vaccination. Currently, only 49.8% of New Hampshire adolescents and 44.3% of Vermont adolescents were not up-to-date for HPV vaccination as of 2016. This social media campaign is testing a set of campaign messages with parents locally and nationally to see which messages are most effective in improving their knowledge and acceptance of the vaccine. A study survey link will monitor the number of people reached and will measure parental intention to get their children vaccinated against HPV.

Our project will assess the feasibility and estimate preliminary efficacy of a multilevel intervention to improve HPV vaccine series initiation among adolescents in Medicaid and CHIP. The investigators will use two intervention components: postcards and an iPad survey system. To estimate efficacy the investigators will select potential participants from Florida Medicaid and CHIP. The investigators will assess their claims for the HPV vaccine before and after the intervention.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection. The high risk oncogenic types, HPV-16 and -18 are responsible for 70% of cervical cancers. The introduction of vaccination against two major oncogenic genotypes of HPV raises questions about genotype replacement because of the existence of other oncogenic types not targeted by the vaccine. A better understanding of natural history of HPV infection and interaction (competition, synergy) between genotypes are required in order to anticipate this phenomenon. The aims of this study are to characterize HPV infection in young female students and to follow up HPV infection and co-infection dynamics with different genotypes, taking into account both vaccination status and immunity to HPV 16 and 18. The study also focuses on the determination of factors influencing the development of persistent cervical HPV infections. The DyPAVIR-ISHARE study is based on the participation of 5000 young female students, from 18 to 20 years-old, all registered at the Universities of Bordeaux or Versailles Saint-Quentin (UVSQ). The 3-years follow-up includes completion of a self-administrated questionnaire regarding sexual behaviour, socio-demographic characteristics, access to health-care services and, for a sub-group of 1000 students, the taking of genital and oral self-taken samples for the detection and genotyping of HPV (every 3 months). Previously, a pilot phase study (2 visits in 3 months of interval) is set up on 50 young female students from UVSQ in order to test feasibility. This study will provide data to gain insight into the possibility of type replacement. Moreover, this study would provide an overview of HPV vaccine coverage and effectiveness HPV incidence and factors associated with HPV infection and co-infection ; Partners recruitment would allow us to follow HPV transmission dynamics among couples, and in particular, HPV exposure in young adult women. The HPV research won't be limited to virus detection in samples but will indicate the presence or absence of HPV infection. Finally, additional genetic studies could be conducted in order to study genetic susceptibility to HPV infection, to chronic HPV infection and to co-infection. This research project is part of the i-Share program funded by the "Investissement d'Avenir" cohort call.

This randomized controlled trial is designed to evaluate whether a behavioral intervention that includes three components: 1) reminder letters and education materials delivered before the clinic visit, 2) telephone recalls after the visit for those who originally decline the vaccine, and 3) telephone reminders for those who miss the 2nd and/or 3rd doses, increases 1 and 3 dose coverage of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine series among adolescent girls attending four Parkland primary care clinics in Dallas county. Hypothesis 1: Investigators expect higher 1 dose HPV vaccine coverage among patients in the Intervention group than those in the General Adolescent Vaccine Brochure group. Hypothesis 2: Investigators expect significantly higher 1 dose HPV vaccine coverage among patients in the Intervention group who initially declined the vaccine than those in the General Adolescent Vaccine Brochure group who initially declined. Hypothesis 3: Investigators expect significantly higher 3 dose HPV vaccine coverage among the Intervention group than those in the General Adolescent Vaccine Brochure group.

This primary goal of this study is to assess whether patient whose parents watch a standardized digital video using the integrated digital approach during a routine office visit are more likely to accept a dose of HPV vaccine (1st, 2nd, or 3rd dose) compared to those not completing the program. The study team anticipates eligible patients in the intervention clinics to have higher rates of HPV vaccine acceptance (1st, 2nd, or 3rd doses) than patients in the usual care comparison clinics. Additionally, the study team is interested in determining the impact of the integrated system on clinical workflow by measuring the number of minutes of each patient office visit when using the system compared to the number of minutes of each visit in offices where the system is not used. Although this is a descriptive/exploratory aim, our expectation is that the THEO system will have minimal impact on patient flow.

Our approach will be to implement Virtual Immersive Communication Training on Recommending Immunizations (VICTORI), an intervention that includes a self-directed app based curriculum and VR simulations, designed to increase the strength and consistency of HPV vaccine recommendations among clinicians. A single-site intervention assessing the efficacy of VICTORI in increasing HPV vaccine rates will be conducted.

The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States (U.S.) and is responsible for a wide range of conditions, including cancers within the anogenital tract and the oropharynx. In just the U.S. alone, it's estimated that HPV causes 330,000 cases of precancerous cervical dysplasia and 12,000 cases of cervical cancer. The investigators propose a 2-dose HPV vaccination study in women seeking postpartum care at Johns Hopkins University. The investigators will measure the immunogenicity and acceptability of the vaccine in the postpartum setting.

The Self-Testing options in the Era of Primary HPV screening for cervical cancer (STEP) trial will evaluate effectiveness of home-based HPV kits for improving cervical cancer screening uptake and its cost-effectiveness. The investigators will compare cervical cancer screening uptake within six months among women randomized to different outreach approaches based on prior screening behavior: A) Adherent and coming due: direct mail HPV kit vs. opt-in HPV kit vs. education; B) Overdue: direct mail HPV kit vs. education; C) Unknown: opt-in HPV kit vs. education.
