Active clinical trials for "Papilloma"

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis in children caused by HPV 6,11 can be a life threatening condition resulting in surgical interventions. The maturing and disintegrating papillomas are the sources for the subsequent HPV relapses and immunization might slow down or even prevent this ongoing process. After an initial immunological and ear-nose-throat (ENT) assessment children with at least 3 relapses in their patient history will be vaccinated with 4-valent HPV vaccine according to the following schedule: 0., 2., 6. months. It will be followed by an immunological and 3 ENT examinations to assess response to vaccination.

Objective: Determine the genotypes and risk factors associated with human papilloma virus infection in Mexican women. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study of women attended at the Materno-Perinatal Hospital "Mónica Pretelini" and the Medical Research Center (CICMED), who were asked to complete a risk factor questionnaire and submitted to colposcopy to identify SIL. Cervical swab samples were obtained to perform linear array HPV genotyping test (Roche®, Mannheim, Germany).

The goal of the overall CASUS project is to develop the first fully molecular integrated cervical cancer screening approach, based on first-void urine as an easily accessible and non-invasive source of biomarkers. In contrast to current screening modalities, the CASUS approach will identify women with clinically relevant disease in need of treatment using only a single sample that can be collected at home (one-step triage).

To evaluate impact of Health Belief Model Based Education on Human Papilloma Virus Infection and Vaccination among University Students

This study provided data on the performance of the Cobas® 4800 HPV Test for identifying histologically confirmed high-grade cervical disease. The baseline, cross-sectional phase was conducted in approximately 45,000 women undergoing routine cervical cancer screening, of whom approximately 7,400 were selected to undergo colposcopy and biopsy/endocervical curettage (ECC) at baseline. These subjects included women with cytology that is 'not normal' and a selection of those with 'normal' cytology who entered a follow-up phase and underwent cytological evaluation annually for 3 years. In this follow-up phase, colposcopy and biopsy/ECC were performed only in women with cervical cytology considered 'not normal' at any of the annual follow-up visits.

This study will assess the usefulness of parent-targeted strategies in improving care seeking among parents of 11-12 year old adolescents. Specifically, the study team will focus on reminders (postcard or text message) and motivational interviewing to improve adolescent vaccination.

The project aims to increase HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening through a web-based mobile health education program called, Wheel of Wellness (WoW) and a brief negotiated interview (BNI). The in-person BNI and WoW system will provide educational resources for participants and their families to learn more about HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening.

Vaccine-preventable diseases such as hepatitis A and meningitis, as well as cancers caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) disproportionately impact young Black men who have sex with men (YBMSM). Traditional techniques of vaccination promotion have been unable to address the racial disparities in vaccination rates. One promising method for influencing behavior change within YBMSM networks is diffusion of information through Popular Opinion Leaders (POLs). The POL model engages persons who are leaders within their own networks/communities to promote behavior change. The objective of this project is to develop and pilot test a POL intervention to increase routine HAV, HPV and meningococcal conjugate vaccination among YBMSM, ages 18-26. research (PAR) framework to facilitate community support and ensure intervention strategies are salient. PAR includes community members as equal collaborators in the research process. Outcomes from these aims are expected to have an impact on health outcomes by identifying effective strategies for increasing vaccination and routine healthcare engagement among YBMSM.

i2-D²EFT substudy is an observational cohort nested within the parent D²EFT study (NCT03017872). D²EFT goal is to compare the standard of care second-line antiretroviral therapy in people living with HIV whose first-line non nucleoside reverse transcriptase-based regimen failed, to two simpler regimens. Approximately 1,000 participants will be enrolled in D²EFT. Commencing a second-line ART is an important moment when the level of inflammation in participants may be elevated due to first-line ART failure; this level of inflammation should then decrease with the commencement of a new second-line treatment and would be expected to normalise by 48 weeks of second-line treatment, if successful. The investigators propose to study other factors which can influence the decrease of inflammation. The investigators hypothesise that co-infections may play a role in persistent inflammation. The key-infections of interest will be common frequent infections encounter throughout the world: Human Herpes virus 8, Epstein-Barr virus, Cytomegalovirus and Human papillomavirus, tuberculosis, malaria and other key opportunistic infections. Possible changes of level of inflammation (using the serum level of Interleukin 6) in approximately 200 participants of the D²EFT study will be investigated and measured. The hypothesis is that the presence of other infections than HIV may influence the level of inflammation in participants in therapeutic success.

We propose a study of a strategy designed to 1) increase cervical cancer screening using a community-based approach, and 2) determine the efficacy of HPV vaccination in a region of Kenya where half of all children are chronically exposed to aflatoxin.
